ESPNU 60 power forward Kyle Washington is still in his first month at a new school after the Minnesota native transferred into the Hotchkiss School to begin his junior season.

A prestigious academic school located in the hills of western Connecticut about an hour removed from any major highway, Hotchkiss is a school that takes getting some used to. Fortunately for Washington, he seems to be transitioning well, taking advantage of all the school has to offer from an academic and athletic standpoint.

"Oh I love it," Washington said last week. "I couldn't wait to get down here. I wouldn't have come unless I was 110 perent confident in Coach Fred [Benjamin]."
