The Bobcat Nation

Just read an article about Sprinkle and the transfers he’s brought in and it sounds promising.

He picked up guards Desmond Claude and Wesley Yates from USC, along with six others. Claude averaged 15.8 ppg and shot 48.2%. Yates was 14.1 and shot 43.9 from three. Another promising player is ETSU's Quimari Peterson, who was 19.5 and shot 46.8%. Danny, as we all know, understands the importance of shooting (making). If you can get a couple 40%+ 3-point shooters on the floor at the same time you can do a lot of things. Or three guys that can make shots from multiple spots.

This quote from him from the Seattle Times is awesome:
"I'm more motivated than ever. I'm always motivated, but now we have something to prove. We really do. It's going to be the hardest thing anybody - me, my staff, our players - have ever had to do. Because you can be motivated and still get your teeth kicked in in the Big Ten."

Rooting for Danny to have a good year, the pressure on him could start to build if he doesn't. I feel like coaches these days aren't going to get years to build a program from scratch when the transfer portal has made that process largely obsolete. Recruit a winner now or they'll find someone else who can.
