The Four Winds Wolfpack are proud to officially welcome Andrew “Drew” Poor Bear, a 6’6 forward whose combination of size, athleticism, and skill will make him a key addition to the program.

Drew is known for his tremendous rebounding ability, consistently controlling the glass on both ends of the court. His explosive athleticism allows him to finish strong in transition, defend multiple positions, and elevate above defenders at the rim. Beyond his physical gifts, Andrew’s smooth shooting range gives him the versatility to stretch the floor and keep defenses honest.

But Drew brings more than basketball to the Wolfpack. He grew up on Pine Ridge until the 8th grade, before moving to Chicago, where he continued his high school and AAU career. Now, he is returning to his roots—driven by a desire to invest in his community and inspire the next generation of Native youth.

Head Coach Shaun Little Horn praised both Andrew’s abilities and his character:

“Andrew has all the tools to be special. He plays with energy, toughness, and skill that fits perfectly into the culture we’re building. He’s not just going to impact games with his rebounding and athleticism—he’s the type of player who makes everyone around him better.”

At Four Winds, basketball is only one part of the mission. The program is deeply committed to community engagement, empowering players to serve as leaders and role models off the court. Andrew’s choice to come back and represent his people speaks volumes about his values and aligns perfectly with the Wolfpack vision.

Wolfpack Nation can look forward to seeing Drew suit up this season and bring his relentless motor, versatility, and competitive spirit to the floor—while also helping to build bridges between basketball and community.

The Four Winds Wolfpack are proud to announce the commitment of Monty Montileaux from Mahpíya Lúta. Monty has built a reputation as one of South Dakota’s most versatile wings. He is a versatile scorer with the ability to create off the bounce, and a natural feel for spacing the floor. 

“Monty is one of those players who makes everyone around him better,” said Coach Shaun Little Horn. “He’s not just about stats; he’s about winning, competing, and raising the standard every time he steps on the floor.”

“Monty isn’t just satisfied with being good—he’s determined to be great, and his hunger is what caught our attention. He doesn’t coast. He plays like he has something to prove every possession. That type of mentality is rare, and it’s exactly what the Pack is built on.”

The Wolfpack are building on a historic inaugural season that saw them capture 32 wins and national attention. Adding Montileaux strengthens their roster with another athlete who can impact both ends of the floor while embodying the Pack’s fearless, competitive culture.

As the Wolfpack prepare for another demanding national schedule, Montileaux’s commitment adds another cornerstone to the program’s foundation. With his talent,  and competitive edge, Monty Montileaux is ready to run with the Pack.

The Four Winds Wolfpack continue to build momentum heading into their second season with the commitment of Jarron Big Horn, a former standout guard from Maȟpíya Lúta High School.

Big Horn brings a unique combination of physical toughness, high IQ, and leadership to the Wolfpack backcourt. Known for the way he takes precise angles and creates scoring opportunities under pressure, Jarron has established himself as the kind of guard who makes winning plays in crucial moments.

What sets Jarron apart is his versatility. He can score in bunches, knock down big shots when the team needs them most, and consistently elevate the play of his teammates. His ability to control tempo, read defenses, and deliver timely passes.

Wolfpack Head Coach Shaun Little Horn praised Jarron’s addition to the program:

“Jarron is the kind of guard every coach wants; Fearless, physical, and unselfish. He can hit big shots, but he’s also a player who sees the whole floor and makes everyone around him better. We’re excited to have him in the Wolfpack family.”

Coming from Maȟpíya Lúta, a program that emphasizes discipline and , Jarron’s background has prepared him well for the demanding national schedule the Wolfpack play. His game mirrors that of a seasoned guard.  He will be vital as the Wolfpack chase even greater success after winning 32 games in their inaugural season.

With Big Horn in the fold, the Wolfpack add another key piece to a roster that blends promising young talent with experienced leaders, setting the stage for an even stronger run in the year ahead.

The Four Winds Wolfpack are proud to announce the commitment of Tyson Bissonette, a player known for his competitive fire and ability to impact the game on multiple levels.

Wolfpack Head Coach Shaun Little Horn emphasized that Tyson represents a key addition as the program prepares to elevate its level of competition following a historic first year.

“When we sat down as a staff, we knew we needed to add a few things as we got ready to take another step up in competition,” Coach Shaun said. “Tyson checks a couple of those really important boxes. We needed players that could help space the floor with their shooting, and we need all of our players to have a fearless competitive drive. That is the essence of who Tyson is.”

The Wolfpack, who finished their inaugural season with an impressive 32 wins, are in the process of shaping a roster that blends youth and experience.

“We’re really excited about some of the young players we’re bringing in,” Coach Shaun added. “But we also knew we needed to add a few seasoned players who could help provide leadership and set the tone. Tyson brings that competitive spirit and maturity that will be vital for us moving forward.”

Beyond his ability to stretch defenses with his shooting, Tyson brings an edge and relentless will to win that will immediately raise the standard in the Wolfpack locker room.

“He will help us space the floor, but more than that, he’s just a competitor,” Coach Shaun said. “He wants to win at everything he does. It doesn’t matter if it’s basketball or rock-paper-scissors; he’s a fierce competitor.”

With Tyson Bissonette’s commitment, the program continues building a roster defined by toughness, leadership, and an unshakable drive to win.

About Four Winds Wolfpack

The Four Winds Wolfpack is the men’s basketball program of Four Winds University, an emerging program rooted in Indigenous excellence, leadership, and culture. Competing on a national schedule against top NCAA, NAIA, NJCAA, and Tribal programs, the Wolfpack is committed to building a championship culture on and off the court.

This past week, the Four Winds Wolfpack staff and players wrapped up a powerful two-day basketball camp at Todd County Middle School, bringing the energy, knowledge, and heart that defines our program — and thanks to our partnership with Big Baller Brand (BBB), every camper walked away not just with skills, but with gear they earned through effort.

We had over 110 young athletes from grades 3-8 come through the gym, ready to learn and grow. Day one focused on our 3rd-5th graders, and day two welcomed in the 6th-8th crew. From the moment the first basketball hit the hardwood, it was clear these kids came to work. Our sessions focused on fundamentals, discipline, footwork, and having fun, all while being pushed by our collegiate-level players and staff.

What makes these camps special isn’t just the drills or the gear — it’s the connection. These camps are about more than basketball. They’re about building confidence, creating opportunity, and giving back to the communities that raised us. Our players don’t just coach – they mentor, inspire, and lead by example.

The BBB gear? That’s more than a shirt or a pair of shorts. It’s a badge of pride. A reminder that they earned something by showing up, putting in the work, and believing in themselves.

To every camper: you are part of our Wolfpack family now. Keep grinding. Stay humble. Stay hungry.

And to Todd County: wopila tanka. Thank you for welcoming us into your gym and into your hearts. This is just the beginning.

This past weekend, the Four Winds Wolfpack hosted another powerful session of basketball development—and the energy in the gym was undeniable. A total of 37 players showed up, hungry to grow their game and take another step toward their dreams. They were joined by our dedicated Wolfpack coaching staff and several current players who stepped in to help lead drills and share wisdom from their own journeys.

Each camper received free gear, courtesy of our partnership with Big Baller Brand and our ongoing commitment to making sure our players feel seen, supported, and suited up like champions.

On the court, we focused on three essential moves that are part of every high-level player’s toolkit:

• The Euro Step – learning to change direction and finish through traffic.

• The Stepback – creating space for clean jumpers under pressure.

• The Wade Hop – building balance and rhythm for fluid scoring.

The intensity was real, but so was the laughter, support, and camaraderie that makes these camps more than just basketball. For many of these athletes, this is the beginning of something greater—a chance to grow as players, students, and leaders.

Missed this one? Don’t worry. We’re back at it again next Saturday. Spots are still open, and each camp is a chance to level up your game, connect with our program, and earn your place among the Pack.

The Four Winds Wolfpack just got tougher. Kenny Pulliam, a standout guard/forward hybrid from the Pine Ridge Thorpes, has officially committed to Four Winds following an impressive showing at the All-West tournament.

Four Winds Head Coach Shaun Little Horn stepped in to coach the Pine Ridge players during the event at request of the Thropes head Coach Casey Means. It didn’t take long for Pulliam to leave a strong impression. After watching him up close, Coach Little Horn extended an offer — one that Pulliam soon after accepted.

“Kenny fits exactly what we need,” said Coach Little Horn. “Last season being our inaugural season, we just had to sign the best overall players we could find. The benefit of year two is you’re not building a whole roster from scratch — you’re filling crucial needs. Kenny fits that perfectly with his toughness.”

Pulliam made his presence known at the All-West tournament, impacting every game with his relentless effort and physicality. Whether it was battling on the boards or defending in the post, he set the tone in every matchup.

“I was so impressed with just how hard and physical he played,” Little Horn said. “He really disrupted opposing teams’ big men with his toughness.”

Last season, many teams tried to counter Four Winds’ size and strength in the paint by going small, hoping to neutralize the Wolfpack’s advantage in the post. With Pulliam’s versatility, that adjustment just got a lot harder.

“Having Kenny allows us to have a guard on the floor who can match up with any type of player — big or small,” said Little Horn. “He gives us the ability to stay big without sacrificing mobility or defense on the perimeter. That’s a huge addition for us.”

Despite winning 32 games in their inaugural season, the expectation is that Four Winds will be even better next year. With the addition of impact players like Kenny Pulliam — who bring grit, versatility, and a fearless edge — the Wolfpack are quickly emerging as the premier team in Tribal College basketball.
