Bearcats Targeting on Washington
Friday November 26th, 2004
The Cincinnati Enquirer



Jacoby Washington, a power forward that plays for a high school in Oakland, California is on the radar for the Bearcats. Washington is one of the best forwards in America, and at 6'11" 233 pounds, Cincy is doing all they can to lure him in. With senior Jason Maxiell leaving the team after this season, there is a need for a power forward on the team. The Cincinnati Bearcats are suppose to be offering Washington a schlorship in the next few days, and sources have said he would love to come to Cincy, but is also looking at Stanford which is alot closer to his home.
