George Washington III expands on OSU decommitment, why he chose Michigan

Michigan basketball’s 2023 recruiting class features one player, but he’s incredibly talented and should contribute for the Wolverines sooner rather than later.

George Washington III, a four-star shooting guard on 247Sports’ composite, is rated the 92nd-best player in his class, as well as the 13th-best shooting guard and the fourth-best recruit from Ohio.

Washington did earn a few accolades his senior season with Chaminade Julienne in Dayton, Ohio. He led the Eagles to a district title, was named First Team All-Southwest Ohio, Division II Player of the Year, and was honored as the 2022-2023 Gatorade Ohio Boys Basketball Player of the Year.
