Caputo and staff welcome Autry, Hutchinson and Jones in first recruiting class
WASHINGTON - GW men's basketball head coach Chris Caputo announced the signing of three highly-touted student-athletes as part of the program's recruiting class on Thursday. Trey Autry, Jacoi Hutchinson and Christian Jones mark the first high school recruits in the Caputo era and bring a wide array of abilities to bolster the Buff & Blue backcourt.
"Adding depth at the guard position was critical for us in this fall signing period," Caputo said. "But just as important was the need to find players whose qualities fit the culture we are trying to instill here at GW. Christian, Jacoi and Trey are all excellent students, physically and mentally tough, and care most about winning."
