For those that are BCJ members, you know I am a rough critic when I am out scouting. Potential is nice, but if production doesn't follow there is little for me to get behind. I liked Anthony Gaines quite a bit, but he's a kid that will struggle to score at the highest level. I'm a huge fan of dirty work guys, but it can't be a one dimensional thing if you are going to play on the wing and be needed to score.

Williams checks off almost every box in what I look for. He wants to guard the opponents main perimeter threat, and can do it well across several positions. He can score at all three levels. He has a handle that can create problems in the middle of a defense. Plus he has that toughness that NYC guards are known for. He has all the makings of an early program guy that can become a star as he puts in the work necessary.

I haven't pushed a kid this hard since Gary Clark. Hopefully they get him in the fold and see similar results...

Thanks Chad. I'm not a BCJ subscriber yet, but I'm starting to lean that way.

Thanks for your insight.

For what it's worth, Chad said on his recent podcast that Williams will visit Dayton, but may likely cancel the visit to OSU. He is apparently leaning towards UC or Dayton.

If that's true, I like our chances. Chad is really high on Williams - thinks he'll be a strong college player.

You are making a mistake if you count out Dayton!

I'm not counting anyone out - I just think our university, facilities, conference affiliation, location, team and program history all stack up well as compared to Dayton.

I like our chances. However, if he gets the warm and fuzzies over a relationship he forms with the coaches and / or players at UD; then he could certainly go that way.

Sounds like you know we're getting him, or are at least the heavy favorite.
 
Between us and Dayton, gotta love our chances. Plus I think he got the red carpet treatment from the players and coaches. Which he should, he is our top recruit for 2017. Plus, seeing SK and Lance's name and pictures around campus have to help. (Fellow New Yorkers) Plus he couldn't have picked a better weekend go visit. It was gorgeous! I truly hope we land him.

Started following Achie on twitter... for anyone who wants to read into that.

I look into Twitter a lot, but there isn't a lot of separation between Dayton and UC as to which school he is leaning towards. I saw he followed Archie, he follows T. Moore and Savino like someone stated. Also, he tweeted that he was going on a visit to UC and then did the same thing about Dayton. The UC tweet blew the Dayton tweet out of the water in likes, retweets and comments. Gary Clark and Keith follow each other on Instagram.

I am confident he is going to choose UC. Of course its a worry since he hasn't announced it yet, but still feel very confident. I can't go into sources, but was def under the impression he was going to commit after his visits. Whether that means he's going on a visit to OK St. first is beyond me. We should all still very good about getting this guy IMO.
