I’ll forgive Husky fans for holding off briefly on celebrating given that the last time the Huskies beat Kentucky in a head-to-head battle for a Northwest 5-star prospect, Terrence Jones, the victory was short lived. But Federal Way’s Jaden McDaniels announced today via Instagram and Twitter that he has committed to the University of Washington. The Huskies move up to 10th in 247 Sports’ team recruiting rankings with his addition to 5-star PF Isaiah Stewart, 4-star SG RaeQuan Battle, and 3-star PG Marcus Tsohonis in the 2019 class.
McDaniels soared up the recruiting rankings last spring and summer when he was one of the most dominant players on the Nike EYBL circuit averaging nearly a 20/10 for Seattle Rotary.
