Las Vegas Sun on Stanback-to-UNLV rumblings

Here's a report from the Las Vegas Sun on the rumors that Chace Stanback is headed to play for the Rebels. The story says Stanback will visit there this weekend and that while nothing is final, the coaching staff there hopes that he will be a Rebel by the end of the weekend.

As reported here earlier, UW is apparently now out of the picture.

Posted by Bob Condotta

UW center Matthew Bryan-Amaning had his best game in the U-20 European Championships today with 41 points and 11 rebounds. Alas, it wasn't enough as the Czech Republic defeated Great Britain 104-93.

But Bryan-Amaning was the clear star of the game, hitting 16-28 field goals and 9-12 free throws and also blocking four shots in 35 minutes.

Here is his complete statistical log for the tournament, showing he is now averaging 17.7 points and 8.2 rebounds for the five games.

Great Britain, which is 2-4 in the tournament, will play next on Saturday.

Stanback likely to UNLV, not coming here

Posted by Bob Condotta

Rumor making the rounds is that Chace Stanback is headed to UNLV to continue his career there. One person close to the situation said today that UW is not in the mix for Stanback anymore.

Stanback has yet to say anything publicly.

Stanback visited UW in late June and then later it was revealed that his mother had won $25,000 in an on-line video game that would allow her to pay for her son to walk-on at UW if he so desired --- Washington did not have an open scholarship for Stanback.

Stanback visited UNLV shortly after he visited UW.
