Desmond Claude

We will face Claude 3 years in a row on different teams (Xavier, USC, and now Washington).
Talent is nice. But it’s going to take time to get all the pieces to jell together. Is it possible they would be able to do this in only one year? This is a problem you face with the transfer portal where entire teams are replaced. Zero continuity! And if the players don’t mesh their talents, you are screwed!
He's never been on a winning team. Not to day he isn't talented, but every bad team needs a best player. He doesn't seem to elevate those around him much. Not sure if this will ultimately move the needle for Washington program with culture of losing...
Him and Yates from USC transferred there. They have Zoom diallo and Quimari Peterson, along with 2 4 star freshman in the backcourt…so a few gonna be pissed about mins/transfer out.
Agree with Wole here (shocking)…these guys aren’t going to gel well.
IU was supposed to have the best transfer class in the BT last year (in some polls 2nd or 3rd). Cannot remember. How did that turn out for them?
Really? If I remember last summer before Caryle even got to Gloomington, he was a first round draft pick who couldn't get off the IU bench! Rice was suppose to be as good as Braden, but with better defense, really, both Carlye and Rice played just like their METRICS from the year before they got to IU, both not great by any means. Galloway and Leal where both better. Ballo was big but lazy, Arizona was glad to see him leave. Woodsons problem was his assistant coaches were hired to recruit but could not teach the basics of basketball 101! They are overhyped every year because they are a school of journalists and the media plays to their hype and loves their far left narrative! The talent was OVER COOKED.
