When Anthony Solomon returned to Mike Brey’s staff, it was fair to wonder how soon he would pay dividends. While we don’t know yet as far as landing recruits, we now know as far as presenting offers to them. Jalen Washington, a power forward going into his senior season at West Side in Gary, Indiana, can add Notre Dame to the list of offers he’s already gotten. He credited both Brey and Solomon for their interest in him:
Incredibly blessed to receive an offer from Notre Dame! Much appreciation to Coach @NDMikeBrey, Coach Solomon, and the rest of the ND staff for the opportunity! 🍀🏀 @seansmith35 @MeanstreetsEYB @GWSBoysBball pic.twitter.com/R0QaTNRlVA

Washington has received over a dozen offers so far. The schools he’s mostly trending towards are North Carolina, Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State, Stanford and Alabama. He visited the Tar Heels on June 2 and is scheduled to meet with the Cardinal on Saturday. The other schools in the mix are Louisville, Illinois, Iowa, Penn State, Nebraska, Maryland, DePaul and Oklahoma.
The Irish really need some depth with their size, and Washington would fit the bill perfectly.
