Washington Huskies basketball is set to host Jimmie Haywood, a highly-touted four-star guard from the 2027 class, for an official visit on September 5. Haywood, originally from Seattle and now playing at Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona, is ranked as the No. 128 overall prospect nationally.
Coach Danny Sprinkle is making local talent a priority in his program rebuild. Haywood's potential return to Seattle for college ball signifies a significant recruitment opportunity for the Huskies. He is considered a top target, alongside other local standouts like five-star guard Jalen Davis.
Further bolstering the program's future, Washington is also expected to host five-star power forward Ahmed Nur on September 6 and five-star guard Jordan Mize from the 2028 class on September 18. These visits underscore the Huskies' strategy to build depth with top high school talent.
