Top-100 guard George Washington III commits to Michigan basketball

Two weeks ago, Michigan men’s basketball didn’t have a single commit in the 2023 recruiting class.

On Tuesday, Juwan Howard and the Wolverines received their second pledge in 13 days when top-100 guard George Washington III announced his college decision in an Instagram post.

Washington, a 6-foot-2 shooting guard from Dayton (Ohio) Chaminade Julienne Catholic, is a four-star recruit who’s considered one of the better shooters in his class. He’s ranked the No. 76 overall prospect and ninth-best at his position, per the 247Sports composite.

“I think at the end of the day Michigan is just the best place for me in terms of both personality, play style, and my end goal of playing and being a prominent guard in the NBA,” Washington told On3.
