Maryland/DC Recruiting Report

<p>It’s been a wild week to say the least in the recruiting world. Monday was the first day that Division I programs could contact 2022 prospects and as a result, we saw more offers handed out than ever before. A significant amount of Maryland/DC prospects had their phones buzzing throughout the day from various levels. I’ll unpack those prospects and their offers here.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>COMMITMENTS</strong></span></span></p> <p>2020 Southern guard Khiyon Washington announced his commitment to Prince George’s Community College. Washington was a standout in Southern Maryland since transferring to Indian Creek and immediately made his presence felt averaging 17.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game. Washington is a stat sheet stuffer as indicated by his per game averages and should fare well in the MD JuCo Conference.</p> <p>2020 Mt. Carmel wing Will Little will attend The Kiski School for a post-grad prep season. The 6-foot-5 wing, who can contribute in many categories, should benefit from an extra year of polishing his overall game. </p> <p>2020 Milford Mill guard [player_tooltip player_id="900206" first="Jermaine" last="Goodwyn"] has elected to attend Pro Holmes Sports Academy for a post-grad prep year. The 6-foot-2 southpaw put together a strong senior season and could catch program’s attention by reclassing to 2021.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt;"><strong>OFFERS</strong></span></p> <p>2021 McDonogh wing [player_tooltip player_id="775326" first="Jared" last="Billups"] has received an offer from Niagra. The 6-foot-6 now has nine total offers and you can expect that number to rise in the next couple of weeks as more teams will start making a push.</p> <p>2021 Sandy Springs wing [player_tooltip player_id="902016" first="Mohamed" last="Toure"] received an offer from Army. It marks as Toure’s first official offer. More programs that look into the 6-foot-5 wing should be intrigued with what he can offer in the long run.</p> <p>2022 Wilson wing [player_tooltip player_id="777064" first="Darren" last="Buchanan Jr."] received an offer from Seton Hall. The Pirates mark as Buchanan’s first high major offer.</p> <p>2022 Bishop McNamara forward [player_tooltip player_id="777061" first="Favour" last="Aire"] received offers from UConn, Maryland and Virginia Tech to bring the 6-foot-10 shot blocker’s offer count to eight.</p> <p>2022 DeMatha guard [player_tooltip player_id="904621" first="Rodney" last="Rice"] was a name that picked up steam throughout high major programs.

The 6-foot-4 combo guard now stands with 19 total offers.</p> <p>2022 Archbishop Spalding wing [player_tooltip player_id="837927" first="Cameron" last="Whitmore"] was arguably the top dog in terms of offers this week.

Commander’s offer total stands at nine consisting of multiple Big East programs.
