- Washington declined to submit his name to the portal and said it would pursue all legal avenues to uphold his signed agreement, drawing attention from the Big Ten.
- Agent Doug Hendrickson ended his representation earlier Thursday citing philosophical differences, while attorney Darren Heitner said he was retained by Williams.
