2022 Woodrow Wilson (DC) & @teamdurantaau G/F Darren Buchanan (@jayy_showtime) tells me he has been hearing from Clemson, George Washington and Rhode Island the most lately.

Buchanan also holds offers from Bryant, North Texas and Seton Hall.

Interestingly, in the first paragraph, he's 6'7 and 228 lbs and in the third paragraph,  he's shrunk to 6'5 and 190.

Buchanan is a top target for us in 2022. He took an unofficial visit here earlier in the summer as well as Rutgers.

George Washington will be in today for 2022 three-star forward Darren Buchanan, per source. Buchanan is ranked by @247Sports as the No. 3 prospect out of D.C.

Buchanan has been on the social media radar screen with GW even as his recruitment has been blowing up with other major schools. Coaching staff has obviously shared that mutual interest. Would be disappointing if GW misses out on him given his multiple “likes” of GW items in the past.

George Washington is the hometown school right in his backyard and the Colonials have made him a huge priority.

“That’s the hometown school, they are big on me staying home and I wouldn’t want it any other way honestly with the way they recruit. They are definitely one of my top schools. I have a good relationship with Coach Christian and if I were to be able to put on for D.C. that would be really cool."

In terms of a timeline for his recruitment, Buchanan said, “I am thinking about cutting my list in October and then committing in early or mid December.”

Offered by Pitt.

Thanks for the update FC. As fans, we live and die with the recruitment of players, especially ones like Buchanan who were identified and offered early and had several social media interactions with GW MBB including “likes” of things posted by the team. It’s disappointing if these players don’t eventually sign with GW after all the emotional investment and hopes we place on them, usually sight unseen. No idea if he is still high on the coaches’ list or where he fits in to their plans for next year if he signs with GW. What is sobering is the recognition of what coaches across the country must go through in getting players and how exhilarating or disappointing it must be when they get the word or the call of the results of their recruiting efforts. What a way to make a living.

"Buchanan is one of the premier unsigned seniors in the Eastern Seaboard and Southeast regions. The 6-foot-7 wing/forward from Washington (D.C.) Woodrow Wilson High showed exactly why the likes of Pittsburgh and George Washington are prioritizing him. Buchanan had a featured matchup against 2023 Rivals150 No. 49 Dennis Parker Jr., in which Buchanan scored 22 points, going 2-for-3 from three, with eight rebounds and three steals. Look for Buchanan to be in the conversation for the Rivals150 in the next update."
