Washburn's wrongs may set recruits right

Chris Washburn was supposed to be The Next Great Center. He was Shaq long before we even heard about Shaq. But as Rick Bozich writes a lack of discipline and drug habit cut short his once promising NBA career. There were days when he was left eating dinner from trash cans.

If there's anyone who knows the pitfalls of having success too soon, it's Chris Washburn.
