The Washington men's basketball team has received a commitment from Justin Holiday, a 6-foot-6, 170-pound swingman from North Campbell Hall High School in North Hollywood, Calif.

Holiday committed after taking a recruiting visit to UW this weekend. He has been described as a player in the mold of former UW forward Bobby Jones and also reportedly had offers from the likes of Arizona State, Nevada, Texas Tech and USC.

Holiday is the older brother of Jrue Holiday, a high-school junior who is rated as the No. 2 shooting guard in the nation for the recruiting class of 2008 by Scout.com. Jrue Holiday is also being recruited by Washington.

UW now has three commitments for the Class of 2007. The others are from guard Isaiah Thomas of Curtis and forward Matthew Bryan-Amaning of South Kent (Conn.) School.
