Jordan Washington - PF - Pathways College Prep - Queens, NY

Oliver Miller was about 350 at Arkansas and kid could play.  Ball yes. Jump no.

He aint Oliver Miller..  he is skilled without a doubt.. I just can't tell how skilled because he is literally a man amongst boys... He is also 6'7 tops .
 If we need a big man for next year we should be looking elsewhere imo.. where?  beats the heck out of me

If he has skills and can qualify - he can always lose weight...

Not always, look at Josh Smith.  Chances are if you got fat you are lazy, not always motivated to lose it.

Maybe its cabin fever.  But I would help this kid study to get him here.

Not crazy moose.  I'd love to land Washington if he is qualified because he provides everything we don have.  He's a big PF that is strong, can run the court a bit and can score in the post.  He's local to boot.  I'm not saying he's the best player around, but he fits our needs very well.  Seems like the kind of kid that big ten teams have in abundance.  Any chance he qualifies?  What are his issues?

I agree, Moose.  I've never seen him before but he seems to have good skills.  And he definitely would not be pushed around in the box.  10-12 minutes a game as a Freshman, while putting in work with the conditioning coach, and we would have a player.

He's a character.  Fun to watch.  Has moments you want to go Sprewell on him.  But a big boy and crafty.  But ppl tell me its hopeless for him to get eligible.

Are his academics as horrible as folks say?

Some guys are heavy, but can play too.  Teague killed us.  Robert Traylor was good for a chubby player.  So was Sean May, and that kid from Georgetown a few years back who's name is escaping me.  It's possible he's willing to work at it and lose a few.  A good staff can motivate. He's the type of player we need to round out our team.  That said, it's all moot if he can't qualify.

Is he not eligible for HS or was the school just pissed he left and came back and was holding him out?

Sometimes guys like that don't need to get in shape.  They lose that edge then sometimes.

Who holds out 6'7 260 in the psal? I say he needs to get in shape because anybody who knows him knows he was really a guard at first with a handle and deception, because of the weight he transitioned to the post. Just shows how talented this kid is to make that switch.

He clearly doesn't mind dribbling thats for sure.

As for PSAL don't they just let just about anyone play?  That's why I suggested that

Lol, when he was a freshman he looked light years better. If that's even imaginable, but some psal schools have a bit more integrity than others and his school is one of them. One of the smaller schools with 500 student population.

Get his act together Chille.  We can use him
