If we don’t hear something tomorrow on Cliff, I suppose it’s best to assume he’s going to take his Bama visit, and likely not end up here I think Alabama or UNC (who needs a center) will throw the bag at CLiff.

He just posted on IG, he was watching the fight and Geotagged DC. Looks like he is in a house too not a hotel. Maybe at an assistants condo watching the fight.

Think he is at Coach Johnson's condo. He is a big fight fan.

I'd like to get in on this if Cliff doesn't work out but I'm assuming he is headed to DePaul.

Why not add a Top 100 talent? One who will make defenses guard on the perimeter. And yes I know his % wasn’t stellar last year, but he had multiple games with 4+ makes. This strikes me as a typical Cooley PC kid who flourishes after an inauspicious start elsewhere. Take all the talent we can get here and hope to strike gold (a la Devin Carter or Tyler Kolek) taking a flier. I guess I don't argue w/the "talent" aspect but yes he was a top 125 kid that was let's be honest dreadful... This is not meant to be a shot at you Dave but not stellar is being kind...he shot 31% from the floor and 28% from 3 and seemed to fall out of favor on an awful Louisville team... We do need shooters so agree he possibly fills a need and maybe just needs a change of scenery but we better hope he finds that form he had only 40 rebounds and 20 assist all season...that's pretty one dimensional Personally I feel like there would have been better options still this early in the portal...hope I am wrong I'm not really sure what you expect for someone who will be 11-13 in your rotation and probably your 5 guard. He showed promise in HS and had a good % beyond the arc at least his junior year. He has size for a guard which is always a plus.

That's fine if he is the 11-13 man on this team I have absolutely no issue with the pickup... To be clear our 11th man last year was Austin Montgomery who averaged 2 minutes a game over 9 games played... Williams was the 7th man at Louisville averaging 18 minutes a game and started 4 of their 32 games (which he appeared in all of them) If Cooley has convinced/told a former top 100 kid he is fighting Montgomery for scrap minutes in blowouts then I am totally onboard...

My guess is his playing time / role is something between Bristol and Bacote. I think 4th guard with a chance for more less playing time depending the game and/or how Mulready is contributing (or not contributing).

To be clear I am not making the prediction on his playing time...I am just responding to the prior poster...and I would just be shocked if Williams is coming here with the notion that he is 11-13 in the rotation after getting very decent run as a Freshman...

Plus give him a chance to process it. If it's Thursday and he says he is going to Alabama then be worried or comes out and says I'm going to Alabama also.
