Five-star point guard TyTy Washington of Phoenix will announce where he'll play basketball in 2021-22 during the 6 p.m. edition of ESPN's "SportsCenter," according to ESPN's Paul Biancardi.
Based on how ESPN has aired previous commitments, that means the announcement will probably arrive in the second half of the hour-long show.

Seven out of eight analysts on 247Sports.com's Crystal Ball are predicting that Washington will choose Kentucky.
Previously committed to Creighton, Washington would presumably would have a chance to take over the starting point guard position at Arizona after James Akinjo, Terrell Brown and Jemarl Baker all transferred. If UA doesn't land Washington, the Wildcats may keep recruiting another ballhandler or could turn the position over to combo guards Kerr Kriisa and Pelle Larsson.
