Scholarship table
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 duringthe July auditions. I think 2017 will be very important so he needs to look at a few bigs that year.
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.
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
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?
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.
I wouldn't consider a commitment final until the kid has started fall classes.
Anything new on this front?
He'll visit Providence on Thursday and Friday.
Looks like a decision's coming pretty soon. Gotta think pc's in the driver's seat...https://twitter.com/pcbb1917/status/615626340000243713
Gotta think pc's in the driver's seat...
Why?
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.
