Class of 2016 RB Robert Washington (NC) to UNC Charlotte

[Finwad32]

I just can't wait to see him here.

 

[jekelish]

There's no word yet on where he is right now, to be honest. It's a bit of a mystery.

Should this freak me out? He kinda needs to be in high school in order to graduate high school

He could very well be in high school. Just because he's not popping up in box scores doesn't mean he isn't at a high school.

 

[CuseLegacy]

An he may not be in NC.

That's my thought as well. It's pretty quiet around him. He's become a man of mystery.

And NC is like Texas. We start school next week.

Frankly wouldn't mind him sitting the year out.

Many of the Charlotte area schools played their 1st games of the season last night.

Wow, just did quite a few searches of the local papers here in Charlotte and you cannot find a whisper of Washington being mentioned anywhere since his commitment to SU.

Same here.
A local TV station here in CLT has a list of the top players in NC called the Big 22. I was expecting to see RW on it, but he wasn't even mentioned. Moe Neal was on the list, but I was curious as to RW's status.

 

[Toga]

RW is in Europe stopping train terrorists.

There was a story the other day that he is waiting approval from the state athletics to play for east gaston. I believe he is enrolled there but because it is out of his district they had to get permission for him to play. He was at their pep rally a few Days ago

Yes. That can be a problem. They may not let him play this season if that is the case. Honestly I would just rather have him enrolled somewhere and getting his degree so that he can be at SU in January.

As long as he is here in January healthy I could care less if he plays this season. Dude has proven his skills and doesn't need to any more. Him taking a season off will slow his development and add rust, but he's still the best recruit we've had in ages. We need him healthy and ready to contribute day one. If he plays this year great, if not oh well. Just get here healthy in January Robert!

Did somewhere I miss this in this 115 page thread...

I wondered why everyone left that school and FB progam.

 

[jekelish]

Well now. Damn.

Seems like a very legit reason to transfer,why the hold up then?

That article was from 10/2014. I think he spent some time going to school in CT this spring.

One thing I do know is a kid that transfers high schools has a transcript that is very difficult to decipher RE: NCAA clearinghouse requirements.

Not saying RW is a bad student or has anything to worry about - but I am hopeful the staff is helping him along the way with what classes he needs and which ones to stay away from.

Considering he's on track to be a January enrollee I don't think it'll become an issue, but the bright side is that even if it does, he has the entire spring to get things cleared up so he'll almost certainly be ready to go by next fall.

Saw the date,didn't know about the other.

 

[Shaggy]

Any news? This seems strange. Hope RW has found a school and can play this year.

For what it's worth...
