Apparently he really is 6'11", not just 6'9", per his family.... And it appears from his highlight videos on Youtube that his natural position is point guard: He can dribble, shoot the 3, and he's an excellent passer. Tinkle, take note of that! ==== Mission Hills Head Coach Curtis Hofmeister, who coached current San Diego State senior center Kameron Rooks in high school, said that Warren is the best passing big man he’s ever seen. “The height is super helpful, but I think the most important thing is his combination of size and offensive skill set, and his ability to pass the ball is the best I’ve seen from a guy his size,” Hofmeister said. “I am proud of him and the work he has put in, and I’m happy for the family.” Warren, 17, said he’s happy that he has made his college decision, which he will finalize Nov. 8, the first day high school basketball players can sign their national letters of intent. Deciding early will allow him to focus on his senior year and his goals of winning a second CIF championship — he won a title as a sophomore at Escondido High School. “I definitely want to start off by winning league, and go as far as we can in CIF and State,” Washington said. “We have a lot of hard-nosed guys, and this is my year to have to be a leader and call in my soldiers, and I am excited about that.” Coast News Article

The first video link I saw of him he looked like a very good passing small forward. He handles the ball like a lot of guards and can still finish off double teamed undernesth. I think he's quite a catch.

Sounds like he could reach 7'0" before his career is done

Interesting quote. ---- “We always strategized that, because we didn’t want him stuck in the post,” Calvin Washington Sr. said. “In North County, he was always the tall guy, but we didn’t know how tall he would get, and since I was paying for him to play (travel) basketball, I told coaches that you’re going to help us to get Warren where he wants to be as a player, not where he appears to be best for your team.” ----

Also: ---- “We looked at Big 10 and Big East schools, and we considered a school in the Mountain West (Conference), but the Pac-12 gives him the best opportunity to develop educationally and basketball-wise,” Calvin Washington Sr. said. “We took the opportunity with Oregon State, because their need for him was the highest, the coaching is solid, the facilities are solid and the rural environment was good. And, of course, the allure of playing in the Pac-12, playing on TV every game and against the top competition, was a big factor.” ---- Parents like Corvallis. I've always believed that when the parents are active in the recruiting process, we have a big advantage.
