UNLV target P.J. Washington commits to play for Kentucky

Just hours after receiving a commitment from the number two overall center in the class of 2017, Nick Richards, John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats have struck again, landing a commitment from Findlay Prep power forward P.J. Washington.

This is disappointing news for Marvin Menzies and his Runnin’ Rebels, as Washington, rated as the 16th best player in the nation by ESPN, had the Rebels in his top three and took an official visit to the campus last weekend. A visit that apparently went very well according to P.J.’s father, Paul Washington, who is the coach at Findlay Prep.
