Portal Target Profile: Could Mizzou extract the best from Jalen Washington?

The North Carolina big man's name is one that's lingered around for a bit, and national guys have followed on with reporting that MU and Mississippi State are in decent positions.

So...let's go sicko. Here's the deep dive on Mr. Washington.

This is very good stuff, well worth a read.

FYI for anyone who may run into a password issue, I think our attempts to set up a single sign on may have flagged some less than strong passwords which is preventing you from signing in.

I've got an open ticket with our SSO provider to help get this fixed. In the meantime a password reset link is here: https://rockm.plus/wp-login.php?action=forgot_password

And any new password resets (you should be able to set the same password you've been using) will sync back with the Forums. As always, the contact email is available if you need any help. Sorry everyone, the SSO thing is at the very top of my to-do list.

Agree. I’m only half serious about the bargain bin thing.

And I’m generally very happy with the player development side of things to this point. The fact that they’ve retained so many young guys (fingers crossed) who’ve not had a ton of minutes means that they’re being honest with them about sitting and developing for a year or two. I feel like that is rare, and will be good in the long run. All coaches say they want to develop players and only use the portal to supplement, but you can’t do that if guys are constantly leaving.

I’m a big proponent of Trent’s future. Ant is already a pretty good advertisement for their player development, and if Trent can make another jump, that’s two pretty big jewels in this staff’s crown.

I would absolutely love Washington! if there is anyone who could unlock him it would be gates. there are so many good things to say about him great roller and cutter which is amazing because gates loves to pick in roll a lot and is way more of a offensive threat than gray when it comes to pick roll, cutting, and maybe shooting. He would be a amazing piece alongside Mitchell who badly needs someone to take pressure off him and space out the floor so he has more room to operate. looking at some of his high school highlights it seems that he has solid shooting mechanics to were he could become respectable or a excellent pick and pop threat. the list goes on and on of good things he can do for us I would be elated with the addition of him.

just looking at this highlight tape it makes sense why he was a five star and committed to UNC if gates gets him into his high school or some resemblance of watch out
