Recruiters in Attendance
George Mason - HC Kim English
George Mason - Assistant Dwayne Simpkins
George Washington - Assistant Ryan Devlin
PG Community College - Assistant Terrell Harris
McKinley Tech Standout
Terrell Webster - 6'2", Class of 2023 guard, McKinley Tech (DC) - A savvy scorer, Webster is the go-to guy for McKinley Tech. A 4.2 GPA guy at Tech - an application school that stresses academics - Webster has been offered by Virginia Union. Low and mid major Division I schools are starting to show interest.
Webster must commit to more of a lead guard role, as well as focus on defense and strength development going forward.
Addendum: Webster was voted 1st team All-DCIAA
Honors
Yesterday, both Buchanan and Johnson were recognized for their 2021-22 work, each voted top dog among DCIAA peers: Buchanaan is now a two time Player of the Year guy, while Johnson stands as this season's Coach of the Year.
Interestingly enough the coach shared his thoughts of Buchanan being the league's best player and boom, it came to fruition.
Congrats!
