New Washington coach Mike Hopkins continues to draw from his former stomping grounds in Upstate New York to usher in a new era at the University of Washington.
Hameir Wright, a 6-7 wing forward from The Albany (NY) Academy and the Albany City Rocks AAU program, committed to Washington on Saturday during his visit.
Syracuse, Maryland, UCLA, Michigan State and Notre had been among those recruiting Wright.

Albany City Rocks coach Jimmy Hart said Washington is getting a winner.
“Hameir is the back-to-back MVP of the New York State Federation championship so in big games, Washington is looking to get people who win and win championships,” Hart said. “Hameir’s won back-to-back State championships with Albany Academy, so he’s someone who knows what it’s like to finish the season winning your last game.”
