Williams is winning schools
HoyaReport.com
The recent DMV Live weekends - newly established high school events in which NCAA Division I coaches were allowed to attend - created a bonanza for everyone from collegiate bench leaders to recruitniks. Players were able to be scouted, videotaped and interviewed.
One such guy is 6'8", 185 pound Class of 2021 wing Benny Williams. The St. Andrews (MD) standout did nothing but burnish is reputation as an up and coming player, one ranked 47th in this class and given a four star designation by Rivals.com.
How might a player with those credentials be viewed as ascendant? Williams, who grew over five inches in around a year continues to add a higher level of physicality and toughness to his game. Combined with improved ball handling, the ability to make shots and frame length, Williams, who also stars for Team Takeover's 16u crew, is prompting colleges to salivate.
DMV Live 2 did nothing to dim his star; in a Saturday night, 82-70 St. Andrews victory over ever dangerous Baltimore Catholic League titan Mt. St. Joseph, Benny dropped 13 points on 38% overall shooting, while sinking half his three pointers.
Georgetown, which offered him months ago,is still in Benny's recruiting mix, while East Coast stalwarts like Seton Hall and Syracuse, among others, have joined the party in tendering Williams scholarship opportunities.
What's the status of his recruitment, which schools did he mention and what are more particulars in how Benny played Saturday evening?
That, along with an exclusive interview and more are available on Premium Court.
This kid's winning attention, and for good reason.
