Williams played 5 minutes. He appears to be the 8th man on Team Takeover. They won the championship game by 15 points. Williams finished Peach Jam at 4.0 ppg, 2.0 rpg, 0.8 apg, 40 fg%, 25 3fg, 100 ft%, 12.4 mpg nikeeyb.com/schedulesCool. Love having skilled kids coming into the program who don’t expect to be “the man” from the jump and who can be coached up. Completely agree. Just want to be on the positive side because this kid will be a huge contributor.

A question for those who know more about AAU. Since Peach Jam is a Nike tournament, does that mean that players committed to Adidas or Under Armor Schools don't attend? Or does it not matter at this stage? Will Sorber, Williams, and Mulready play in the AAU tournaments run by the other sneaker companies? Where they're committed to doesn't necessarily matter. Those players all play for Nike-run programs, so naturally they only play in the EYBL against other Nike programs. For example, Ian Jackson, top 5 player in '24, plays in the 3SSB which is Adidas's circuit but he's headed to UNC. Zion Williamson was also an "Adidas kid" that went to a Nike school.

Played the rest of the tournament with a knee brace. Makes me worry a bit because his oldest brother tore his ACL three times and his middle brother also tore his ACL.

"WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A RIVALS150 PROSPECT IS CHANGING When you talk about college basketball in 2023, you talk about the transfer portal. That’s simply how things are now, and the conversations between college coaches at Peach Jam followed that new but well-established unwritten rule. All the usual talking points were well-represented, but the most interesting sub-genre of portal chatter centered on what it means for the current crop of high school prospects, and how a back-of-the-rankings prospect may not be a high-major lock in the era of power programs using small-conference schools as minor league affiliates. Of course, the portal era is still in its infancy, so nobody actually knows how things will shake out long-term, and five-star, one-and-done types are always going to be in high demand. That said, more than one major college assistant spoke with me at length about holding back scholarships and declining to offer players they would have thrown a scholarship at without much hesitation five years ago. Couple that with high-profile head coaches such as Duke’s Jon Scheyer going on record saying he intends to sign fewer high school prospects in the years ahead and it sure feels like a bad time to be a guy at the back end of the Rivals150." basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/peach-jam-storylines-that-emerged-from-the-annual-event

Enough of trying to bring down a kid who you for some reason don't like.

Seems to me to be a great situation for schools looking for talented potential 4 year players to develop.

Seriously dude. Enough of trying to bring down a kid who you for some reason don't like. He doesn't like Caleb Williams because he committed to Georgetown. boya has a complete inability to be happy that we're having success recruiting the DMV and 2024s. Really weird conclusion to make about the 100-150 range of rivals 150 based on a Jon Scheyer quote given that Duke doesn't recruit anyone outside of the top 25-50 and really never has. If anything, Scheyer seems like he went about the same strategy that Cooley is currently taking (large number of freshman recruits initially, and then try to keep everyone intact).

There are a finite number of scholarship slots. If the bigger conferences take players from the portal from smaller conferences, then the smaller conference will replace them with guys in the lower part of the 150 range.. In the end it's all the same.

Enough of trying to bring down a kid who you for some reason don't like. You act like he's going to stop. The dude was still relentlessly bagging on McClung even after he left Georgetown. It was years that he kept it up since he first insisted that McClung not D-1 quality. It will be endless. He could lead us to a national title, and he'll still do this.

Williams was ranked 136 in the early part of the 2022-2023 season by the same recruiting service. "With versatility and growth spurts, D.C. area’s junior class stands tall Recruiting website 247 Sports compiles composite rankings for the top 150 prospects in every class; there are eight local players on that list for the Class of 2024. In descending order: No. 28 Freeman (St. John’s) No. 48 Darren Harris (Paul VI) No. 56 Isaiah Abraham (Paul VI) No. 59 Robert Dockery (Jackson-Reed) No. 69 Drew McKenna (Glenelg Country) No. 81 Daquan Davis (St. John’s) No. 136 Caleb Williams (Sidwell Friends) No. 141 Patrick Ngongba (Paul VI) “These kids, a lot of them made a name for themself on the national level in seventh or eighth grade,” said Houston Wilson, a recruiting analyst and the recruiting and evaluation director for the popular CP3 Rising Stars National Camp. “People have been talking about this class for a while.” In addition to those eight, there are four players who started their careers in this area before leaving for far-flung, basketball-centric schools: No. 37 Khani Rooths (Georgetown Prep to IMG Academy in Florida), No. 76 Jaeden Mustaf (DeMatha to Carmel Christian School in North Carolina), No. 90 Del Jones (Bishop O’Connell to Huntington Prep in West Virginia) and No. 107 A.J. Swinton (DeMatha to Oak Hill in Virginia)." www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/12/06/with-versatility-growth-spurts-dc-areas-junior-class-stands-tall/Also, 74 of the top 150 prospects (including 40 of the top 80) have yet to commit - where do you think Cooley's class of 2024 ends up ranked when it's all said and done? BTW, we are ranked the #13 class of 2024 on On3: www.on3.com/db/rankings/industry-team/basketball/2024/
