Beavers will really struggle this year. The leading returning scorer averaged about 4 ppg last year. Tinkle held open tryouts and got a couple of walkons who will probably have to play some serious minutes this year. Nonetheless, he has a chance to instill a work ethic that can carry over to next year when a great recruiting class arrives. It will be interesting to see which program, OSU or WSU, is further along in 3 years. I'm pretty sure Tinkle is a better coach than Craig Robinson, despite the loss to WOU.
