PF Kyle Washington to transfer fron NC State

[die hard gopher]

Former Benilde player who transferred to Brewster Academy his senior year is transferring. 6-9, 225 PF who averaged 6.8 points and 4.1 rebounds per game as a sophomore. Pretty sure he would have to sit out.

Wonder if this is the PF GameDay mentioned before. Would be awesome if we could get him. He would be a great addition.

I wanted this guy 2 years ago.

Getting Ellison Boucher and Washington would be sweet.

Figure we end up with one of the last three mentioned (excluding Konate)

Didn't like him in high school, he was a kinda soft stretch 4... I think that year of prep school helped him a lot and he's a lot tougher now.
He'd be a good 2 year contributor, redshirt year may benefit him also

I'd be pleased with that pick up.

Washington was pretty highly rated in HS wasn't he?

I remember him being a 4 star. Not sure if that's accurate though.

Is this where one should say "Pollyanna!"

Yep, consensus top 100.

Will he have a better chance to be eligible immediately if he comes here vs anywhere else?

I think that rule is gone?

I think that is only for a hardship waiver which doesn't seem to be the reason, or an excuse for him transferring.

 

[WanderingGopher]

I think that rule is gone?

Correct. No more hardship waiver. Everybody sits a year except grad transfers.

Yep, no more hardship waivers to be eligible immediately.

I thought that starts after this year?

Yes, but the rule (if it still exists) is vague. King got one and I have no idea what the hardship was?

Nope. Starting now all transfers sit out a year except grad transfers.

I believe he had an ill family member.

Now we know who likely was on campus the other day.

 

[MadtownGopher]

I kind of doubt he was the one on campus the other day. That is something Ryan James would have referenced when Washington finally announced he was transferring.

 

[Gopherguy0723]

This guy can play and would seriously help the Gophers. He could be a good starter for us in two years. That would be a perfect time to get him going as well because Mason and Konate would be juniors and this year's highly ranked recruiting class would be sophomores. If we get him, I would bet we make the tournament in both of the years he is eligible to play.

I'm pretty sure it would be a recruiting violation as well.

Not much to like here.
