Its almost funny considering all of the drooling that took place in this room by many.
Williams probably has bigger things to worry about than the transfer portal.

Williams hadn't played all season while dealing with legal issues from a guilty plea on a gun charge last year. Taylor has played all of 6 minutes over 3 games and has recorded a single rebound, and has been sitting out for a few weeks for "disciplinary reasons".
Will be interesting to see the type of program that takes a chance on them, gotta imagine it being some sort of mid / low major west-coast systems.

kid can stroke it:
a 6' 9" shooter at wing would be pretty good. thing is, he's more than just a shooter. bonus points for his dad being a coach

Looks like a similar player to Jakstys. Some time with Fletch before they can compete but sure perfect for the 5 out.

Got to imagine that Santa Clara turns these two into first round draft picks
I'll obviously always defer to the coaching staff when it comes to the players we are recruiting but he had a rough game in the Highland Shootout Saturday against Normal. Think he finished with 2 points. Kenwood got blown out.

sample size, sample size, sample size!
I'm sure he sucked, but even MJ had some clunkers.
Kenwood just hammered Warren (at their place, IIRC). And Warren just waltzed to the Proviso West tourney title

barring injury, kid's gonna be in The League for a looong time
He’d win it by 30, too.
Awh, shucks who needs a 5th Star. Patton did just fine without it.

Patton was missing the 3rd and 4th stars too.
Today's lesson on military obfuscation: A Lieutenant General (3 star) outranks a Major General (2 star).

He did, in fact. Attain the rank of full 4-star General in 1944.
I forgot about the father from WWI and WWII who did make 4 stars. I was thinking of the son from the Korean/Vietnam wars who ended with 2 stars.
I must be becoming a grumpy old man because these players that shoot all their left hand layups with their right hand drive me crazy.
Can't wait to watch him play in orange & blue

Not surprised Magwood made his list. AFAIC, it's just as well that Chuck Love didn't make this list. Yeah, he's VVG, great athleticism and I want him bad.
