Looks like we'll need a Japanese flag to hang in front of the student section to add to the others! Welcome Yuta Watanabe to @GW_MBB @#GWU!
Calvin Crawford & Yuta Watanabe, STM –With only 7 healthy bodies in uniform, Crawford stepped up to provide consistent energy while also demonstrating his improving offensive tools with now consistent three-range range to match his long first step off the dribble. One day before choosing between Fordham and George Washington, Watanabe showed why he’ll be such a prize in the Atlantic 10, going for 20 points and 6 rebounds on Sunday morning while making deep jumpers and strong drives alike.

George Washington head coach Mike Longeran on Tuesday landed a pledge from 6-foot-7 St. Thomas More forward Yuta Watanabe.
The Japanese player also considered Fordham, St. Thomas More coach Jere Quinn told SNY.tv.
“He has great skill, is long and is an excellent shooter,” Quinn said. “He has tremendous potential. He’s much better than everyone thinks.
“It’s a real good get for them. It’s a great location for an international student. It was a tough decision for the kid. He really liked both schools.
Watanabe is averaging 15 points and seven rebounds.
“He is a three, maybe a two and can help with the four,” Quinn said. “He’s very, very skilled and athletic.”
Watanabe is GW’s fourth pledge for 2014, joining Virginia small forward Anthony Swan, New Jersey shooting guard Paul Jorgensen and Washington, D.C. shooting guard Darian Bryant.
