about the Washington Huskies Men's basketball
program was they won't be playing the Gonzaga
Bulldogs this season.
Originally scheduled for December the Huskies
schedule won't begin until January which means
all conference games for the most part. The
Bulldogs were not able to squeeze in the Huskies
on their schedule. The two teams still could meet
in the NCAA tournament in March.
Nahziah Carter senior guard/forward was suspended
from the Huskies program for disciplinary reasons.
Carter will not be able to participate in any team
activities.
According to the press release by the Huskies
Carter violated the Intercollegiate Athletes code
of conduct, Nothing else was indicated and how
long he will be out for.
Carter was expected to be the face of this year's
team. Last year Quade Green was suspended
in January for academic reasons. The Huskies
didn't do well after his suspension. In fact,
they ended in dead last in the conference.
Now we wonder what affect Carter's loss
will be. Hopefully, he won't be lost for the
season.
The question now who will take his spot in
the starting rotation. J'Raan Brooks from
Garfield High School and a transfer from
USC who sat out last year could be the guy.
He was already competing for a spot in the
starting lineup at the forward spot.
Another candidate would be Erik Stevenson
a transfer this year from Wichita State. There
was though he would have had to sit out a
year but they have changed the rules in regards
to transfer. No longer have to sit out a year
if transferred once. If a player transfers a
second time he will have to sit out.
Stevenson is another local player coming
from Lacey Washington. He is listed as
as guard so he may fit better in Carter's
spot.
This year's schedule hasn't come out yet.
It should sometime this month though.
I am sure we will have a better idea what
the starting lineup will be as practice is
going on and toward the beginning of the
season. Go Dawgs!
