Brandon Williams Decommits

[strivefor5]

he has an offer from us. Could be a good pick up.

If Adams leaves he'd be a very nice replacement. If it was someone else leaving, I think we'd be hard-pressed to get him to buy in as a 4th/5th guard. Hope the coaches have at least reached out.

Even if Ollie stays, there is no chance in hell that a 5* PG from Cali would commit to him.

Honestly, if Ollie stays, I don’t know how he will recruit at all. He’d be on the hottest seat in the country and has come off back to back pathetic seasons. Which good 2019 players would have interest in committing to Ollie this summer? Probably very few, sadly.

Are you willing to bet the house on that? I wouldn't

But KO may not be back so it would be a non-issue
Whoever coaches will be hard pressed to get any 5* anything due to the conference
95% of 5*s look at the P5s, not AAC or the NBE

You think a 5* recruit would come to play for Ollie right now?

Yes, I would absolutely bet the house that they wouldn’t.

Like you said, it’s a non-issue, but given our recent track record and the fact that he would still be on the hot seat, no I don’t think any 5* would really even consider committing to Ollie right now.

Your house, not mine
KO still has the NBA connections that very few coaches have and kids like so I would never count him out, hot seat or not

 

[Jaker]

Uconn should go hard for this kid. If JA should leave, and AG shoulder always a question mark, a tandom of Williams and Akinjo would be sweat.

In what world would a 5* guard be the 5th guard on this team? Jalen is alpha...then a very good when healthy, but hardly healthy Gilbert...a shooter in CV who we like but can't create his own shots...then Akinjo, who we all like but most would rank below Williams.

Essentially, if he came--and, to be clear, he won't--he'd be like Kemba his freshman year in a best case (for the health of our team). More likely he'd be starting.

Then where are all the five star recruits the last few years? We’re having trouble landing anyone ranked in the top 100 this season, I’d say it’s solidly unrealistic to land a 5 Star from Cali.

 

[SubbaBub]

If KO can land a 5* PG then should he really be fired? Not every top 100 recruit is a bust.
