I agree with you in terms of waiting the entire recruiting process out before getting overly concerned (and I also understand the angst many here feel with how things have played out thus far). But there is absolutely nothing to suggest that Frank will be what Andy was -- his senior season is one of the more underrated individual seasons I can remember, largely b/c the scoring was so balanced on such a loaded team.

I also keep reading about how we were loaded at guard with Triche/Scoop/Rautins/MCW which is funny in a way to me. This entire board hated Scoop for long stretches of basically every season and Triche was a guy who was OK, basically functional at the point, but had massive holes in his game. Dude's high-water mark for shooting his last three seasons was .422; he was functional at the point but hardly a playmaker -- struggled to get to the rim, shot <29% from 3 as a senior, never averaged more than 3.6 assists per game and a career 3:2 assist:TO.

My point really isn't to knock guys or make our situation seem better than it is, but I feel like people hammer guys incessantly while they're here and then treat them like they're mt. rushmore guys when they're gone.

Anyway, enough with my rant, I agree that Washington will be an interesting player. The book is that he won't contribute and that may be true, but crazier things have happened.
