George Washington III Visits

Washington had one coach visit, namely Rod Clark from Tennessee. He also took unofficial visits to Louisville September 18th and Tennessee on September 11th. Washington made an official visit to Ohio State the November 1st weekend, shortly before becoming a part of their new class. He committed to Ohio State on November 3rd. Seeing the campus and meeting the team solidified the decision for him after the Buckeyes leading for some time.

Scouting Report

The 6’2″, 165 pound Washington is considered a combo guard, he could play either the shooting guard or point guard position at the next level. As a sophomore, he averaged around 24 points per game. He shot 93% at the charity stripe last year.

He has good athleticism, footwork and handles like a guard. Another positive is that he is a very good passer who can find open teammates without breaking his rhythm on the fast break. When he puts it together, he’s a player with some serious upside as he continues to develop his game. He’s a player with high ceiling and a very good long term prospect for a Division I basketball program.
