5-star forward P.J. Washington commits to Kentucky
ESPN’s No. 16 recruit is off the board. John Calipari gets another one.
The No. 1 rated player in the state of Texas, Washington is a bruising forward who shines on the glass and can finish in the paint.
Washington, a 6’8 big man, took visits to UNC, UNLV and was in attendance at Kentucky’s Big Blue Madness. He recently canceled trips to Arizona and Texas.
He won a gold medal over the summer as a key contributor to Team USA’s FIBA Americas U18 team. He averaged 10 points and four rebounds and made 21-of-34 shots, good for 62 percent shooting from the field.
Last season for Findlay College Prep, the then-junior averaged 15 points per game on 56 percent shooting, grabbed nine rebounds and dished five assists.
