Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes discussed Washington Jr. signing with the Vols.
"We are happy to add Chris to a high school class that we are really enthused about,” Barnes said. “Chris is a truly special athlete, and, without a doubt, one of the finest in the country at the prep level.
“He is particularly impactful in transition and leaping off one foot. He can also stretch the floor and knock down three-point shots, as well as grab offensive rebounds. At the defensive end, Chris has all the tools to become elite and is someone who can guard four positions. We always prioritize keeping talented players in-state and feel Chris will fit in well here on Rocky Top."
