3 days to go before the ending of the signing period. I think they will probably get guys to commit to non binding scholarship agreements after then deadline passes.

Verbal commits has him at 6'8". He's not in the 247 database.Naz wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2019 9:54 amWe have three open scholarships as of right now and the guys UH are offering are landing at other schools. I don't see a recruit worthy of an offer for Nevada being below an offer from UH. I believe he is bigger than 6'6". I feel Washington would highly consider moving back to play at Hawai'i.
We couldn't use a 6'8" post who stuffs everything? He could take Raimo's spot starting next season. With three available scholarships, we are in a position to at least use one on a player whose gonna payoff dividends in the long-run.
Are we talking about the same Brian Washington??? … He has THREE D1 offers (Oral Roberts, UMKC, and Nevada)...and he's listed at 6'8" here... https://verbalcommits.com/players/brian-washingtonParkpill wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 6:31 am First off, he's a 6'6 center. I don't know where you're seeing 6'8 at, but I've looked at at least 5-6 different sites, and none list him at 6-8. Unless something has changed, he signed with Salt Lake Community College. Per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Washington also received interest from Division I North Dakota State and Division II Fresno Pacific as well as Casper College (Wyo.).
Look at the style of basketball Ganot runs here, and the fact that we have 3 7ft bigs already here. With what we already have on the roster, we don't need a 6'6 center. I'm going to guess his height and lack of shooting were the main reasons he wasn't offered by any division 1 schools.
I stand corrected. I was looking at the wrong Brian Washington. However, I still doubt the coaching staff will offer him based on his height and skillset. They could have offered Drew Buggs teammate a few years ago Myles Johnson 6-10, F/C who is now at Rutgers, and they passed.Naz wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 2:49 pmAre we talking about the same Brian Washington??? … He has THREE D1 offers (Oral Roberts, UMKC, and Nevada)...and he's listed at 6'8" here... https://verbalcommits.com/players/brian-washingtonParkpill wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 6:31 am First off, he's a 6'6 center.

If Nevada, a team that is coming off a trip to the NCAA tournament, is willing to offer and sees the value in his skillset, how does UH not? Washington probably had more throw downs in his senior year than all our Centers combined last season. We go 6'8" C with Raimo and I watched him fumble passes and miss layups throughout the season. I'd rather have Washington who wants to stuff everything.Parkpill wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 3:37 pm

Is UH recruiting him? Then there you have your answer. They aren't looking for a another 6'8 C with limited shooting range. We have 3-4 guys on current roster that can play the C position already.Naz wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 2:50 pmIf Nevada, a team that is coming off a trip to the NCAA tournament, is willing to offer and sees the value in his skillset, how does UH not?
