Washington Huskies Make Final List For 4-Star Power Forward

Washington is building momentum for its 2027 recruiting class after falling short with several top-25 targets in the 2026 cycle. The Huskies earned a commitment from Lattimore Ford, a three-star small forward, and have filled other roster spots through the transfer portal and international recruits. Now Washington’s focus is on a top-100 prospect: 6-foot-8, 200-pound forward Deng Ngor. Rivals.com reported via Joe Tipton that Ngor is down to four schools—Washington, Florida, Duke, and Ohio State—and said he likes the staff, especially coaches Danny Sprinkle and Abdul Gaddy, emphasizing development and hard work. Washington leads the prediction model with 28.9% odds, and Ngor has official visits scheduled for Sept. 6 (Ohio State), Sept. 18 (Washington), Sept. 22 (Florida), and Oct. 15 (Duke).
