Sean Miller does it again, gets a 5-star recruit

He's built like West but they are hardly clones. If nothing else, Williams is much quicker off his feet IMO. I'm not sure he has West's mid-range game either but it's hard to tell because of the way UA has to use him.

Mid-range game is there. Williams has shot 8/10 from 3pt this year and is also 80% from the FT line.

Doesn't Williams almost have to go pro for UA though? IIRC you have 12 scholarships next year(NCAA penalty) and 14 guys committed. So if Bejarano is going to leave as Mao suggests on the ASU board, that still means one other kid has to leave and that would presumably be Williams?

Remember that's why Miller backed off Nash, he didn't want to juggle another scholarship he decided 2 over was his limit.

I actually think the NCAA should consider a one year NBA lockout exemption that allows a team to go over the limit next season otherwise kids will be getting run off left and right if there's a lockout and guys like Williams don't turn pro.

Alex Jacobsen will graduate and likely move on. I'm guessing someone else (Momo or one of Lavender/Fogg) leaves too.

Not a bad idea, it is the NCAA though so don't expect to much creativity.
