Chace Stanback, a freshman basketball player who decided not to return to UCLA, has visited Washington and is considering joining the Huskies.
Stanback, a 6-foot-8 guard/forward, played sparingly in 25 games last season for the Bruins. He averaged 1.0 points and 0.7 rebounds, in 144 minutes.
Stanback visited the UW campus, according to Harvey Kitani, his coach at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles.
"He took a visit there two weeks ago or so," Kitani told the Los Angeles Daily News.
Kitani said Stanback has visited North Carolina State, and plans to visit UNLV. Stanback is originally from North Carolina.
Stanback is a cousin of Isaiah Stanback, the former Washington quarterback.
