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.
COMMITMENTS
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.
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.
