Transfers don’t always work out. Sometimes the fit isn’t as good as it appeared on paper. Those are two sentences that have nothing to do with Kyle Washington, who transferred to Cincinnati after playing for NC State. Washington’s seamless transition from Wolfpack member to Bearcat was one of the brightest threads in the 2016-17 tapestry for UC basketball. Now entering his senior season, Washington is the second half of one of the best frontcourt duos in college basketball.
Washington made his presence felt immediately last season. He scored at will, rebounded like crazy, blocked shots like a madman and handed out assists.
