Elite center Mouhamed Sylla includes Washington in top five

The nation’s top uncommitted 2025 center included Washington among his top five schools.

Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies are red-hot on the recruiting trail. After adding four-star guards Courtland Muldrew and JJ Mandaquit to the 2025 class, his coaching staff followed that up by earning a surprise commitment from four-star forward Niko Bundalo.

Now, Sprinkle is hoping to carry that momentum into the recruitment of four-star center Mouhamed Sylla, who included Washington in his top five schools on Sunday alongside Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Kansas, and Oregon.

“I’m going to make my decision next month,” he told 247Sports’ Dushawn London. ” I will visit Arkansas [on Sunday, December 1], which is my last one. I have already taken visits to Georgia Tech, Kansas, Oregon, and Washington. I’m going to commit to these five. They’re my top five, and I’m not considering any other schools.”

The nation’s No. 30 overall recruit in 2025 and No. 5 player at his position took his official visit to Seattle on the weekend of November 22, and got an opportunity to take in the Huskies’ 77-60 victory over Alcorn State. The 6-foot-10, 240-pound prospect also has a good idea of what he’s looking for in a school.

“I’m looking to see which coaches actually know me and my game. I already got everything I need from them now it’s time for me to make my decision. My circle tells me to pick a school that can help me get to the NBA and have good academics.”

Sprinkle’s coaching staff has also appeal to him thanks to its willingness to play through its big men. His development of star forward Great Osobor at multiple stops has shown to be appealing to several prospects, and if Sylla chooses to play his college ball on Montlake, he would vault Washington’s class into the stratosphere, as it would rank No. 4 according to 247Sports.
