Four-star St. Raymond's (N.Y.) point guard Isaiah Washington is still committed to Minnesota. But he won't be signing at the same time as three-star Patrick School (N.J.) guard Jamir Harris, who will officially join Pitino's 2016 recruiting class Wednesday at the start of the early signing period.

Washington, a consensus top 100 player in the 2016 class, will wait until next week to sign with the Gophers, according to sources. Adam Zagoria of Zagsblog.com in New York tweeted Tuesday night that Washington likely signs Monday.

Harris, a 6-foot-2 senior, is known for his three-point shooting and ability to defend both guard positions. He was a high school teammate of current Gophers sophomore guard Dupree McBrayer for one season.

-- Gophers women's basketball coach Marlene Stollings will sign four-star wing Destiny Pitts from Detroit Country Day (Mich.) High School on Wednesday. Pitts is ranked as the top senior in Michigan, according to ESPN.com.
