Would love to see us land Wynn !
Everyone significant that has offered so far is loaded up at his position and he
could come here to an NBA city, play behind our great guard JD for a year, and learn
from one of the all time best at the guard position in Price…win/win for everyone !

Does seem that way! Been reading up on Washington and hoops runs in the family. Father Duane, Sr. played at Middle Tennessee and in the pros - briefly in NBA and mostly overseas - and uncle Derek Fisher had a long NBA csreer as both a player and a coach.

Looks like Washington has gotten quite a bit of attention from both Michigan and Michigan State but so far no offer from either one.

Price was in to watch 2018 PG Jr Clay from Chattanooga Elite. Watch his Junior film, looks like he excels in pick n’ roll situations.

Nate Hinton (pictured above)- 2018 combo guard of Team Loaded is a true stat sheet stuffer he can impact the game in multiple ways.This kid uses his height well finishing over defenders his pull up game is also very polished. With Gaston Day this past season Hinton got buckets and committed himself to defense.

Scoring is just the tip of the iceberg Hinton is also a good passer and rebounds the basketball really well. Effort is never a question he lays it all out every contest on both ends, defensively Hinton wreaks havoc with long arms and quick hands steals are a given. As of now Creighton, Charlotte, and Winthrop, are among his six offers expect that list to double as he gears up for a strong National travel season in the Adidas Gauntlet.[/quote]
Per Verbal Commits, Hinton has been offered by Indiana, Penn State, UMass, VCU, VT, and Wichita State.

Also, Washington picked up an offer from Cincinnati.
