Kyle Washington

[Golden Avalanche]

I am not sold that Washington was that good, I do like him sitting out a year to improve, Wojo only has 1 schooly open so there is no rush.  He can pinpoint Coffey and somebody else during
the July auditions.  I think 2017 will be very important so he needs to look at a few bigs that year.

Are you not sold on Washington because he hasn't yet committed to Marquette?

Or, are you not sold on Washington because you actually watched him play 10-12 games at NC State and gathered an informed opinion on his game?

[PGsHeroes32]

A junior Washington is going to be better than any freshman Pf we could get in 2016.

Whether we're talking as an expeierenced back up to a loaded team with Hanks return or a upperclassman who can fill in and take the starting role if Hank bolts.

Assuming Wojo makes a PF a priority for 2017 then I don't see how Washington wouldn't be the preferred get. I'm good with either but people shouldn't be on the fence with this add.

And obviously as I've said a 1,000 times already...so long as Coffey is part of the class can't really go wrong.

And any freshman PF that MU gets in 2016 will be better than the Kyle Washington we don't get which is all that anyone is saying.  If Washington hasn't decided by the time that a freshman PF is ready to commit, you take the freshman.

Yeah, it's called chit or get off the pot, ai na?

Uhhhhh what thread are you reading?

Everyone is saying either we got time to wait or that they are not convinced with Washington.

A freshmen cannot sign until November, so even a commitment is not a guarantee. I do not think Wojo would consider a commitment final until the player has visited and as far as I know there have been no visits by a power forward freshmen 2016 recruit. Given that we are not close to giving the scholarship to a freshmen power forward.

Has that chit sailed, Ai na?

Love it--scoopers are giving cyber-ultimatums to our recruits.

I wouldn't consider a commitment final until the kid has started fall classes.

That's what Steve Cottingham told me a couple times.

[MU82]

Anything new on this front?

[brewcity77]

Anything new on this front?

He'll visit Providence on Thursday and Friday.

[MU82]

Thanks for the info. I hope them recounting the glory days of Bad News Barnes doesn't make him want to be a Friar!

[ShootinOutWallsofHeartach]

Sorry if this appeared somewhere on this thread, but I read somewhere, think it was Bleacher Report (did I just admit to "bedazzling"?), that Providence coach Ed Cooley will not be present for  Kyle's visit. Coach Cooley is out of the country while working with the Team USA under-19 squad. Will this hinder PC's chances?

[MU_Beav]

Looks like a decision's coming pretty soon.  Gotta think pc's in the driver's seat...

Why?

[keefe]

I wouldn't count out Marquette

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Why?

No kidding.  Everyone knows the Providence chili scene is rubbish!

[PGsHeroes32]

I have no info but idk why any of that would suggest Prov in the drivers seat.

It's been clear for weeks now he was going to take his time and visit all his options.


Now he has and will be making a decision soon.

Don't see how this announcement alone makes them favorites

[We R Final Four]

If KW visited us last before making his decision, this board would be all over it that he is ours to lose based upon similar reasoning.

[MU_Beav]

I'd only say that he's opted not to visit ASU, which had been in his latest pool of 4 schools, along with MU, UC and PC. Much to his credit, he's been deliberate.  His visit to PC, reportedly, went quite well and so quickly after it he's ready to make a decision.  I'll admit that the time expiration between now and his visit to MU just doesn't feel right. That said, although losing KW would be tough, there are still plenty of '16 options, including Coffey and players that Johnson has strong connections to via his time at ASU, including Brendan Bailey.

Now that I've said all of this, he'll probably choose MU.

Yeah I'm really not worried about it.

Coffey is the guy I want.

I'd prefer we get Washington but there are other 2016 PF options with a lot of promise too.

Heck, maybe for once everyone stays and we only need Coffey!!

[MU_Beav]

According to PC Hoops guru Mike Hopkins looks like it's down to UC and PC.  C'est la guerre.

[KampusFoods]

Picked Cinci, per Jon Rothstein

[Golden Avalanche]

Dramatic turnaround from the belief it was only a matter of time until he became a Warrior to looking like the Warriors weren't a legitimate option at the end.

Feels like the Spring recruiting of grad free agents should best be described with the words horse and cart.
