Nice to see Harvard as a near miss.  Really wish we'd landed Ben-Eze.

We're the only top 25 team with neither a top 100 high school recruit nor a top 20 JUCO recruit.  As I understand it from this board, Williams is just outside the top 100.  I personally like those kind of recruits because they tend to stay the four years.

Van Coleman is a really bad source.  People think Clark Francis is bad, but Van just copies or makes up a lot of stuff and even then he gets it wrong.  It's not uncommon for him to have completely wrong information, so his rankings have to be taken with a serious grain of salt.  Especially when you consider the following, Taylor is now currently ranked in 3 different top 100 lists of more credible people, and is ranked 101 on another.  Williams is ranked in two top 100 lists.  Fulce is ranked as a top 20 JUCO by ESPN, and as a top 100 recruit regardless of school level by Hoopscoop.
