We start with four-star 2026 forward Chris Washington Jr. out of Village Charter School (Florida) visiting Cincinnati on Sept. 12. Rivals' Joe Tipton broke the news.

According to 247Sports, Washington is the 27th-ranked player nationally and the 12th-best small forward.

He visited Cincinnati unofficially this past August and was offered shortly after.
