Re: 2024-25 Roster & Commits

If Sprinkle leaves I think you could wave good bye to Osobor, who follows or turns professional. Dallin Grant is not going to be leaving. He's an Aggie through and through. The other Grant has been somewhat of a disappointment, at least as much as a redshirt junior can be. I personally am not a big ...
