Centennial High School star Troy Brown Jr. got away, choosing Oregon on Monday, but two other top-rated basketball locals have UNLV on their short lists.
Findlay Prep 6-foot-8-inch forward P.J. Washington has the Rebels in his top three, and Bishop Gorman High 6-6 forward Charles O’Bannon Jr. lists UNLV in his final four.
Washington will announce his decision at 3 p.m. Thursday on ESPNU. He also is considering Kentucky and North Carolina, but his dad, Paul, said last week’s official visit to UNLV went well.
“Vegas has a lot more to offer than Lexington, Kentucky, and Chapel Hill, North Carolina,” said Paul Washington, also the coach at Findlay Prep.
