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.
