Washington’s Recruiting 'Misses' Indicate Future Momentum
Dijon Lee Jr., Smith Orogbo, Josiah Sharma, and Donovan Olugbode each included Washington as a finalist for their commitment decisions. However, each of these class of 2025 four- and five-star recruits committed elsewhere. There have been a handful of other recruits that have followed suit by placing the Huskies on their list but pledging to another program.
