Title: Kyle Washington
Post by: jesmu84 on May 18, 2015, 05:32:48 PM
Apologies if this topic is posted elsewhere...

Hearing from a good friend of mine who is involved with Xavier recruiting that Marquette is the "clear front-runner" for NC State transfer Kyle Washington.

Do with that what you wish.

Is he a player? Is this another possible 2fer?

Have been hopeful on Kyle since hearing of his transfer out of NC State. Him being from my high school is a plus, but really do think the fit is lovely. He liked the school back when Buzz was here.. hoping this deal is sealed soon!

Lesseee...with the most recent commitments, our current roster, and all these guys everybody wants(Washington, the Greek dude, Coffey, Gieslo, and a few other transfers), we will have about 17 guys on the roster for 2016-17, but hey, never stop recruiting. It is all good.

While it would temporarily take us out of the running for 2016s, I still think Washington is worth it. Would fit the big rebounder role we are lacking. Wouldn't help for next year, but it'd be worth taking a known quantity while we can.

Buzz was right about that.   Never stop recruiting.   If Henry is a one-and-done..... if one of this year's recruits doesn't fit....if Wally decided to concentrate on the high jump....if an upperclassman leaves.....

It will work itself out.   Hopefully, Wojo's recruits are of higher character than Crean's  and manage to not get run off due to weed and booze.

Would it? Isn't signing one over allowed?  Plus nothing counts until a student signs an LOI if I'm not mistaken.  November (or next March) are a long ways away.

We could oversign. It would be interesting to see how Wojo handles it if we do land Washington. But the only signing we'd be waiting on is Hauser. Beyond that, only a transfer or early declaration would open a spot.

It would be fine. But.. just for clarification --

1) an LOI (or as I like to call it, an NLI - same thing) is done through an optional program. It's not a requirement and doesn't cause you problems from an NCAA rules perspective if you have more 'signed' to an NLI than slots "currently forecast to be" available (conferences can place additional restrictions)...

Also... not that it matters.. but, the early signing period is indeed November next year.. but the regular period is April 13, 2016 - May 18, 2016... no March.

Thanks Jay.  Stupid banker terminology.  I meant to say NLI.  Too many damn years.  So tell me, when does having more than 13 scholarship athletes begin to 'count'?  For grins let's consider HE and a decision next April to either enter the NBA draft or not.  Let's say he has this tweet saying that he loves MU so much that he can't leave on or about April 15th.  And let's further say that Hauser, Washington (as a transfer) and one or two others like Coffey or someone else ink in November.

Not an expert on the details of this, so don't accept what I'll dream up with certainty.. but... basically it becomes an issue if you attempt to have more than 13 guys enrolled and taking classes while receiving financial aid at the same time.

In general, scholarships are one year renewable arrangements.. and that's important to remember.. I think in most sports - including basketball (but not football)... you can even give kid financial aid in the summer before initial full-time enrollment...and if something happens and the kid leaves (Roseboro might be an example?)... he is NOT a counter.

So in your example.. things would have to get figured out by late August at the latest.. and it would be an issue if you had 14-15 guys wanting to receive financial aid for summer session...

I could be wrong but with the logjam at shooting guard maybe JJJ is lower on the depth chart. He certainly didn't do much to warrant major minutes next year. Washington would fill a need. Personally I like the way the roster is shaping up especially if we can land Washington. With a year under his belt in the program he fits in nicely at PF

2016 recruits will not help this year, but Washington would help in practice. Both would help next year.

Does anyone have a grad transfer update?  I'm still concerned that next year team has 10 players (three open) so we have space and potentially time available. 

I still think a priority has to be picking up grad transfers for next year.  (At this point a 15 HS grad won't work because the roster is full after next year.

I don't think it does.  Too much time for attrition via transfer, a player turning pro, etc.  A lot to play out yet.  Plus I wouldn't be shocked if Coffey decides to wait until spring in order to see what kind of offers he might get with a big SR year.

I think the Hauser commit is more likely to take us out of the Coffey running.

Depends on a lot of things.  Will HE turn pro?  Does Wojo believe in oversigning or not?  What is Coffey's timeline and who else offers him?  Will they're be an unhappy wing that transfers?  Will Wally leave to train for the Olympics?  How many recruits does Wojo adopt?  How many walk-ons will Giannis pay for?

Yes, more so than Washington on a positional-need basis. That said, neither do. Amir is quite versatile.

Related note... I wouldn't project Amir or Kyle as super-high usage guys... They can work well in different roles offensively

I'm importing this into this thread from the "official transfer thread" in case anyone hasn't seen it there, and to increase my post count.

A DePaul Alum in the New York area, Dan Stack, got an interview with Washington for a website called Today's U.  Here's what he got.

Ex-North Carolina State forward/center Kyle Washington has released a list of 10 schools he is considering transferring to on Wednesday. After two years in Raleigh, Washington wants a fresh start and he talked with TodaysU about his future plans.

Among the schools (in no order) he is considering are: Kansas, West Virginia, Cincinnati, Providence, Butler, Marquette, Iowa, Iowa State, Arizona State and Xavier.

“I like that they (the schools) focused on my strengths and where I need to get better, “ Washington said about what attracted him to these programs. “A lot of these schools have a history of doing well with people in my position. They have a history of doing well with transfers.”

Washington, a native of Champlin, Minnesota (although his family is now in New York) said location is not of the utmost importance, but it could play a factor.

“A little bit,” Washington said when asked about the location of the school being a factor. “As long as I’m comfortable with where I’m at, I’m happy and I’m in a good situation that I like, than everything will be alright.”

Washington, a 6’9”, 230-pound forward/center, has always been an energy guy with the Wolfpack. He possesses boundless enthusiasm and always plays with a high motor. With his playing time getting squeezed at N.C. State, he thinks now is time for a change of scenery.

“I saw myself in a different light than coach (Mark) Gottfried did,” Washington said. “I felt it would be better for me and my family to move on. I’m grateful for my opportunity at N.C. State, and playing in one of the best conferences in the nation.”

Washington is coming off a season in which he averaged 6.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game on .467 percent shooting from the the field and .718 percent from the free-throw line. He can also step out and hit the occasional three. Washington has nice range, as he connected on .538 percent of his three-point attempts (7-13).

To date, Washington has scored 404 points, pulled down 278 rebounds and blocked 58 shots in his career with the Pack. For whatever school he chooses, he’ll bring a versatile set of skills to his new team, as Washington can score, rebound and block shots. Washington can certainly do a lot of things well for a big man.

He thinks he can add an extra dimension to the next school he chooses.

“My approach to the game (is a strength),” Washington added. “I take basketball, winning and being successful seriously. It’s about the team first and then the individual. I want to be the best (and ) I want my team to be the best. I’m a very positive thinker. I don’t think about any negativity and that’s one of my best attributes.”

Washington wants to be thorough with his decision and will not rush the process. He will have two years of eligibility left at the school he chooses. Washington will have to sit out next season, as per NCAA Division I transfer rules.

“I just want to be sure I’m happy with my decision,” Washington said. “I want a coach that has a vision for me moving forward”

There are two open schollies for 15-16, only one for 16-17. If we grab Washington, 16-17's roster would be full with 13 schollies (that will change), and we'd still have one available for 15-16.

When he reclassified in 2013, Washington had offers from the likes of Memphis, Ohio State, Baylor, Florida, Louisville, Washington, Notre Dame, Miami, Iowa State, Marquette, Wisconsin, and Xavier. That's a pretty nice list of interested suitors.  I know he got a raw deal at N.C. State getting passed over by Freeman, but I think he'd be a solid addition here.  Loads of talent.

As for this board, I am certainly not the debbie downer some are around here, but I do think some of the running inside jokes, the cryptic posters and meme tourney are sort of lame, but it doesn't really affect me - you can just avoid the dumb threads, and put the idiots on ignore.

There isn't a lot to talk about with respect to CBB and MU hoops during the summertime, so you get this junk.  Glad I am a diehard baseball fan as well, so I can at least pass my free time with something slightly more entertaining than some of the folks around here who are just in a constant circle jerk.

You act as though this is your first time on the internet.
I don't know most of the inside jokes and don't really find the ones I do know very funny, but that doesn't stop me from getting information and discussing topics that I want to discuss.  I just use my handy scroll bar and go to the next post if need be.

Based on who we've been mentioned with...is there a pecking order in who we'd like to have committed?

My guess would be:

Amir Coffey
Washington
Kostas

I don't think we'll get Winston now and if we do land Washington/if Hoiberg takes the Bulls/Wolves job then I hope the staff goes all out for Coffey.

Washington will redshirt in his career due to a medical waiver from spending a year in a walking boot from running away from Tanned Tommy so he will stay in college as long as Otule; to avoid over-signing in his 6th year of eligibility maybe Wojo will adopt someone.  After leading us to a thrilling NCAA tournament win over a team that was evil and needed to be destroyed with Hoopaloop in attendance holding a Beer Summit at halftime to honor legendary coach Stew Morril, and after being down ____ with ____ to play, which indeed was doable, he will be drafted by the Bulls and team up with JFB.  After a successful season, Wojo will be given a vote of confidence, since he will have made it the five years required to evaluate a hire, though in usual MU fashion, the Wojo to ____ rumors will start flying.

This is all happening, a #donedeal according to sources, ai na?  We'll have to respect the process, but I know because I played high school basketball before attending a Catholic 7 school on my way to becoming a gold sweater vest wearer.

Where's the need for Winston now with a freshman point guard this year is Traci Carter and a transfer in Andrew Rowsey, who while more of a combo, can play some point as can Duane Wilson.

Appears Kyle Washington is the next man up for the last scholarship for the 2016-2017 season.

Take Washington, keep after Kostas and Coffey in case a scholarship opens.

Loads of PT next year on a good team

Back-to-back seasons with no postseason play, a lesser conference, not the best neighborhood surrounding campus, etc.

I was thinking the same point you are saying, except the team should be improved and the conference is better and you get to play a few games a year at Madison Square Garden, which I
think is a great selling point.  Philly, Chicago, D.C., at Hinkle Field House, so there are some attractive locations to visit.  Probably Hawaii shortly

I don't disagree with what you're saying, but I think the average Cincy fan would see things differently and, from that person's perspective, wouldn't be entirely wrong.
That person probably knows little of MU's incoming recruiting classes outside perhaps HE, doesn't know about upgrades at The Al, and probably doesn't see playing Villanova and Georgetown as any more attractive as UConn or Memphis.

Also, a case can be made for mid-winter road trips to Tampa, New Orleans and Houston being more enticing than to Chicago, Indianapolis and Philly.

UC offers him more playing time. They will also be the better team next season (when he sits out). Depending on transfers, pro decisions, and 2016 recruiting, they could be better the following year.

He graduated after summer school started.  He will be here in July.  (Along with Haanif and Heldt...or are they turning pro too???)

I believe that for the past few years, NO player was here before July.  The fact that Traci and Sacar are here now is an exception to past practice.

I just don't believe that the decision can be made for any of the 2016 draft class. What if you come out and simply can't adjust to the speed or physicality of the game? What if you are exposed as a player not worthy of a draft pick, much less a lottery or first round pick? What if you suffer an injury and miss the entire season?

Way too many variables for that decision to already be made. And if the decision were made and if Washington were basing his own decision on if Henry is going pro, then what would be stopping him from making a commitment now?

My point exactly.  I believe that Marquette is his first choice, but Cincinnati has the benefit of being the safe choice since his chance to start when he's eligible isn't dependent on what a talented freshman decides to/has the opportunity to do.  Keep in mind that this is a guy who expected to be starting at NC State then found himself recruited over.

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?

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.

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'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.
