P.J. Washington, the 6-foot-8 forward from Frisco, Texas and Findlay Prep (NV), took his second official visit to North Carolina this past weekend and enjoyed it.
“P.J. really enjoyed hanging out with the team and Coach [Roy] Williams was really down to Earth,” said Paul Washington Sr., the Findlay Prep coach and P.J.’s father.
North Carolina will lose Kennedy Meeks and Isaiah Hicks from the frontcourt and could lose more than that, and can offer Washington quality playing time going forward.
“He is a forward and can play both positions when needed,” his father said.
Washington’s father also confirmed P.J. will take a return trip to Kentucky for Big Blue Madness on Oct. 14, after he previously visited for an official. Ben Roberts first reported the news.
Washington next month also hits Arizona (Oct. 21-23) and Texas (Oct. 28-30). That leaves one more if they opt to take it.
“We’re going to take all the visits so we have something to compare them to,” Washington Sr. said recently.
As far as a timetable, Washington plans to take his visits but also could decide at any time.
“It’s all up to P.J.,” his father said. “My timeframe was to make sure he got his 4-5 official visits out the way and after that he might wake up one morning and say, ‘I want to decide.’ So that’s on him.
“But I wouldn’t let him do it until he had his visits. So we’ll be done with these visits at the end of October.”
