Get to know Danny Sprinkle

After securing the job, Sprinkle’s attention is set on building next season’s roster. And like Bovee searching for the new coach, Sprinkle said he will fnd the right players for Utah State.

“I’m here to develop them on and off the court — that’s my responsibility,” Sprinkle said. “We're going to fnd people that want to be here. We’re going to fnd great players and great people that want to be here, and once you get that the sky’s the limit.”

The current team includes Mason Falslev, Isaac Johnson, Landon Brenchley, Rylan Jones, Zee Hamoda and Conner Gillis. Four others — Steven Ashworth, Max Shulga, Sean Bairstow and Szymon Zapala — are in the transfer portal.
