'17 NY SG Keith Williams (Commit)

[#BearcatNation]

What are ESPN's rules for ranking players? They have him #43 at his position and that's 4*? How does that work?

Not sure, but Evans and Clark were both an 80.

Really like this signing by Mick and staff. Really gives us a lot of depth on the wings. Moore, Williams, Cumberland and Evans. We have Shooters, Slashers, Athletes and role players. If Next years class can bring us a PG and another Big to pair with Brooks we could be set for a very nice run. as it stands in the short term we are still in very nice shape with Two more years of Clark, Broome, Evans and Washington.

This sounds good to me Waite. I am very happy about the wing position for the foreseeable future other than depth this year.

Let's go hard after a PG and PF. If we can land those between this year and next I would be very optimistic.

Then it's just about filling holes or roles which there may not be many. If we get a nice PG and PF and keep 12 active players...we should be in very strong shape for years to come.

80-90 grade = 4 stars
>90 = 5 stars

Have Keith as an 80

Thanks. I never use ESPN, but this system actually makes more sense imo. Grade the player by a scale, instead of by an arbitrary cutoff number.

Keith is the last 4 star SG in the class, the 44th SG is a 3 star


Also he is the same grade (80) as Xavier recruit Elias Harden

Makes sense. Per Rivals, Harden is 136th overall to Williams' 132.

You know who he reminds me of with that shot? Dion Dixon, hopefully he doesn't struggle to shoot it as much as Dion did in his early years.

Also, can we all agree how awesome those throwback jerseys were that year? Man, I wish that we would bring those back again.

The things I would do to have the Jordan Brand UC jerseys back. Still in my opinion a top 10 basketball jersey ever.

WH I am excited for the season and going forward.

Chad, was Coach Cronin talking to you when he was saying Williams is a favorite of some recruiting people?

Very impressive half from #Cincinnati commit Keith Williams. Put up 21 points in 12 minutes. Will give Mick Cronin another perimeter weapon.

Loughlin is cruising, so Williams likely done for the day. Finished with 29 in 17 minutes.

He has been very productive so far into his senior year. Our backcourt should be very competitive next year. JJ, Broome, Cumberland, Williams, Evans and Moore. Depth should not be a issue.

In the frontcourt:

Brooks
Scott
Washington
Clark
Elle (sp)
Moore

We should be loaded.

I try not to look too far ahead, as I think we should enjoy a lot of success this year, but man...next year could be huge as well. I'll be really interested to see how Broome/Jenifer orchestrate the offense with Troy gone.

I generally feel the same way but its hard not to be excited with what Mick has put together going forward. We are set up to enjoy some very nice talent now and going forward.

Won't be a problem imo.

Won't be a problem imo.

i think he was viewing it as a positive factor rather than a potential problem, and if so, i agree.
