Leonard Washington to...

Gib Arnold was interested  -- to some degree -- but former USC frontcourter Leonard Washington is headed to Laramie, per Jeff Goodman.

Academic woes last season and some ugly on-court history (here and here) limited Washington's options.

Three words of warning to Cowboy basketballers: wear a cup.

A Leonard Washington update of sorts

Scott Wolf, the USC beat reporter at InsideSoCal, has a bit of news on the status of former Trojan frontcourter Leonard Washington:

Former USC forward Leonard Washington is still looking for another school. Washington is considering UTEP and Hawaii but would like to go somewhere bigger, according to sources.

A possible UH basketball recruit?

Here's a possible Gib Arnold recruit, per Scott Wolf's Inside USC blog:

Washington To Hawaii?

We hear new Hawaii coach Gib Arnold is extremely interested in bringing in USC forward Leonard Washington, who was dismissed from the team after the season.

+++++

Washington was dismissed from the USC squad by Kevin O'Neill. This after missing the first semester due to grades.

Mr. Washington is not one of our faves (not that such disturbs him in the least) because of this 2008 incident involving then Oklahoma standout Blake Griffin.

But such wasn't Washington's only foray into sub-mixed martial arts. Go here and watch closely at about the 1:10 mark.

So not particularly academic-oriented and with a penchant for tossing an unexpected elbow or a fist -- let's hope Coach Arnold comes to his senses and doesn't show a penchant for scraping the bottom.
