    I'm just surprised he was considered a top 100 player.

    If he has to sit out a year, would he use up a scholarship next season? If he would I dont see how we could take him even if we wanted him.

    Yes he would take up a scholarship. Unless he chose to walk on for one year, which ain’t gonna happen.

    And I don't see USC letting him transfer in conference.

    Someone on dawgman is claiming he has inside info that Brooks is transferring to UW. Kim says he might walk on and see if he can earn a scholarship

    Lol he’s getting a scholly. Kim is clueless. This has always been the back up plan for Nowell.

    Lol he’s getting a scholly. Kim is clueless. This has always been the back up plan for Nowell.

    Isnt Brooks strictly a PF/4 who put up basically no stats in 28 games on a bad USC team?

    How is Brooks a backup plan for Nowell?

    No doubt, he is worth taking a random flyer on and throwing a scholarship at given his high school sheet but he does basically nothing that will replace Nowell and plays a position that UW is already pretty solid at.

    Transfer to Romar's fightin Pepperdines or SDSU seems like a better fit for him if he still hasnt really figured things out still.

    He was an early commit to USC, decommitted in October 2017 after the FBI scandal with USC’s assistant coach came to light, committed to St. John’s in December 2017, decommited from St John’s in February 2018, then eventually signed with USC. And is now transferring away after having a pretty poor season. I really wonder if he is going to be happy and patient enough to sit behind a front court of Wright, McDaniels, and Stewart for a year?

    Back up plan as in he’s getting the roster spot lol. Kid can play. He was just in a bad situation at SC. He’ll be good here.

    He should have came here out of HS, he's a great addition for 20/21 season.

    He can play this year. Remember the new PAC-12 rule?

    This further cements my hope that Timmins rides the pine permanently.

    He still needs a waiver to play this year. Seems NCAA is pretty lax about granting them, but who knows.

    Is he good? Pretty shitty numbers regardless of how dysfunctional USC was last year.

    Yes he’s good. He had two seniors who are going to be good pros either in europe or the NBA in front of him. Think a stretch 4 version of Dickerson.

    Liked his game at Garfield. No clue how he matched up, up a level but astretch 4 Dickerson is a pro. Your talking about potential right?

    Yeah ceiling. He needs to get strong and he’s 6”9.

    IMO, good depth pick up. I think a redshirt year would be ideal, get him on the weight and nutrition plan they had Roberts on.

    So much length we can throw at teams next year. Brooks would have been the tallest player for most of Romar's teams and he's like the fifth or sixth tallest on the team now. Obviously you can indeed recruit height to Washington, LR just sucked at it. Assuming these guys can get their zone assignments down the defense should be extremely hard to score on by the time we get to the conference schedule. I can't wait to watch Hop mold this group of athletes.

    So wait until they all get their reads down?
