"The_Coach: Warren Washington - Washington usually played for a few minutes, fouled 2-3 times and then found himself back on the bench. He added near no consistent value in any stretches, despite having the frame and potential to be a much-better contributor. I expect to be thinking of Washington much differently at this time next year."

Sounds about the same as Joel Mensah, but I think Joel has a higher ceiling.

Limited roster spots, will we get a visit.

Visiting USD. Eye brows raised.

[jdaztec]

Whats the deal with USD all of a sudden ?

[standiego]

they beat us , played in NIT , may have open spots for a scholarship . Believe they also added a JC forward that was a team mate of the JC guard that we signed .

What does that have with recruiting? What point are you trying to make? That USD has passed us up in recruiting?

[partytecs]

Or USD is a better basketball program?

[azteccc]

We must have run out of money to pay our recruits

That’s not the case.

Based on comments by Washington's coach, that looks like a pretty low bar.

Visiting Steve Alford and Nevada. They have 3 scholarships left for the 19-20 season.

According to Nevada Press: "When he put his name in the transfer portal in late April, Washington drew interest from Missouri, Marquette, Nebraska, San Diego State, San Diego, New Mexico and UNLV, among others. His only known official visit to date was with USD." He is in Reno for the weekend, not sure if he has talked to the Aztec staff since he left OSU. Raw talent, sitting out will help him develop after a shaky Freshman year with the Beavers.

@ San Marcos HS Washington was a first-team All-San Diego selection as a senior when he averaged 25.1 points, 12.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocked shots per game.
