New Mexico earned a big commitment in the class of 2023, as 2023 Tru Washington announced that he would be part of the program. Washington is the second commitment in the class, now joining Jadyn Toppin. We watched Washington this summer, where we had this to say:
“2023 6’4 Tru Washington (Mountain Pointe, AZ): Washington, who is related to TyTy Washington from Kentucky, is one that easily stood out with his play on the court. At 6’4, he did a tremendous job in creating for himself, attacking downhill, and finishing strong. But what really impressed me was his ability to mix it up; he can flat-out score the ball in a variety of ways, using his frame and athleticism to his advantage, but he also showcased his ability to make plays for others and find teammates. Really showed a true balance in his game and for the most part, didn’t see many that were slowing him down when he is looking to create his shot.”
4?? Tru Washington has committed to New Mexico.
Washington is a guard that can get to the hoop & finish through contact, as well as play intense defense. His energy can change games. NM has been in contact for a while. @washington_tru @UNMLoboMBB @LoboCoachPitino @AZCompass_Prep pic.twitter.com/X5GvMnvPh9
