Lativious Williams

[Kramerica]

Rosiak mentioned him in his blog about Cadougan as MU having interest in him.  What does anyone know about him?  I checked out his ESPN profile and it looks like he didn't qualify last year so went the prep school route.  It also said that he is a big athlete that needs to develop a game.  It seems like he could be another nice sign for Buzz this year.  Anyone have any more info on him and our chances of signing him as the last recruit for the class of 2009?

At this point Williams list is huge and there's tons of schools involved.  MU is in good standing but not at the top of the list.  The top three are Baylor, Memphis and Florida state. 

Then there's sort of a second tier with Houston, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and K State.  MU is probably here in terms of his interest.  Behind his home schools from Mississippi, but ahead of places like A&M and Houston.

After that comes Kentucky, UConn, Xavier, LSU,  and Alabama and probably some others. 

Of course that is all based on the assumption he actually qualifies, which is a long shot at best.

All I know is what has been posted elsewhere.   Athletic, jumps out of the gym, good size, may not make grades even after his year in prep school.  Don't know that he can get into MU unless his grades improve.
