P.J. Washington Cancels Arizona Visit

P.J. Washington, the 6-foot-8 forward from Frisco, Texas and Findlay Prep (NV), cancelled his official visit to Arizona that was scheduled for this weekend, his father said Thursday.

Later Thursday, Arizona picked up a commitment from California forward Ira Lee.

Kentucky, North Carolina and UNLV remain under consideration for Washington, and Washington will take an official to UNLV on Nov. 4. He has already taken officials to UNC and Kentucky.

UNC’s Roy Williams and Kentucky’s Kenny Payne visited with Washington on Tuesday.

Washington last weekend attended Kentucky for a second time following an official visit in September, and was at Big Blue Madness along with fellow Class of 2017 stars Mohamed Bamba, Quade Green, Trae Young and Kevin Knox.
