Former ISU guard. Here we see where the guard carousel continues

This looks like a very good pickup. Suddenly we are very solid at guard again.

I was bummed to see Tynes decide to leave, but right off the bat, I'd have to say this looks like an upgrade at the position. Just as good defensively, and definitely better offensively.

Didn’t see that coming. Thought he was a decent player for them!

Honorable mention all-Big Sky in 2020-21 with 11.4 points, 7.2 rebounds per game. He averaged 10.9 points last season before an early season injury it looks like. Strong and quick and an all around solid guard from the looks of it. I believe 2 years of eligibility?

Great News! He sounds like a real MUSTANG on the court.

Damn. This isn't rebuilding after losing X, Amin, and Abdul - it's reloading.

If you can ever make it to the NCAAs, then all at once you become a valuable commodity. Make it a time or two more and that’s how excellent teams with good shelf life get started.

Sprinkle has the defending Big Sky Conference MVP returning next year and he does not want to waste him on a rebuilding year. He is looking for another run at the NCAA tounement next year!

That makes two incoming transfers who have already earned all conference honors at their last school. The high school commit also looks really solid. And I love the returners on the team. We should be poised for another run at the conference title.

Nice!!!

All of a sudden I’m not quite as bummed about tynes moving on.

Is next years team going to be even better?... it might be.

That’s the power of having Danny Sprinkle.

I am pretty ssure Sprinkle is looking to sign an big man transfer to add to depth.
