Nick Williams likely to Indiana?

According to his HS coach, it's 60% Indiana and 40% everyone else.

[esotericmindguy]

The "eric Gordon void", give me a break....

[bilsu]

I rooting for the 40%

[bleedbluegold03]

Honestly I am completely done with Tyshawn and Nick. They would have helped keep the program at a good level but they are both three star prospects. Lets not forget that. They are not four or five stars and Tyshawn had alot of help with his status being on one of the best teams in the nation. I watched a game on TV and playing with those teammates he didn't stand out at all to me.

Look on to '09 for the Three Musketeers (Wilson, Williams, and Creek)

[AlumKCof93]

If they go to IU, they're both likely to transfer anyway.

[4everwarriors]

They're a stop gap measure @ IU. Crean's likely to recruit over them and push both out of the program. That's the kind of a guy he is.

Ahh the aggorance of IU.  Davis while at IU only would offer to Oden, but since Conley wasn't a "Top 5" prospect he wouldn't talk to him.  They both ended up at Ohio State and did pretty well their freshman (and only) year.  IU is so full itself it makes me sick, I guess Crean and IU belong together.

[Marquette65]

Help me out--I thought I read that Williams was going to Ark?

[rocky_warrior]

He's taking an official visit to Arkansas this weekend.  Crean isn't allowed to do any more official visits (they were limited to a few, and Sampson used them all up), so this may be a place whey Arky has the advantage.  They can give him the full show.     Meanwhile he'll have to visit IU on his own dime, and they can basically give him a  campus and facilities tour.

Good luck to Nick. I hope he and his new IU coach enjoy finishing in the middle of a mid-level conference every year.

[77ncaachamps]

If he goes to IU, enjoy your first year, Nick, as you're not going to the NCAAs. Heck, maybe never.

[ecompt]

and by his second year Crean may be gone to MSU.

On another board someone made a very good point.

When Huggy Bear left Kansas State for West Virginia you didn't see him push Beasley into moving with him.

Who (aside from PRN and 4ever) would have thought Huggins would show more class than Crean?

[4everwarriors]

I'd also add that Huggins is far better coach and recruiter than now departed.

[MUBasketball]

I'm a huge Huggs fan...always have been. Not sure why, I always just thought he was a funny guy who the media attacks (media dictates these things).

Having said that, can we be sure he didn't try to bring Beasley to WVU with him? Let's not forget, K-State hired Huggs assistant, Frank Martin, to also keep Dalonte Hill (the reason Beasley went to K-State in the first place). He very well may not have tried to lure him to WVU, but I'm not sure I believe it.

Also, the fact that Nick and Tyshawn are 3 star players has absolutely no bearing on how they will do in college. I bet Wade was no higher than a 3 star prospect. That's an extreme case, but rankings mean little. I think both will be very good college players. Let's all be thankful Trevor is sticking around!

Carlton Christian, Dameon Mason, Brandon Bell, and James Matthews....where are they now?

Im almost positive he did. IIRC K-State would not let Beasley out of his LOI

[ChicosBailBonds]

I think some of you are really thinking with your heart rather then your brains.  IU and Crean will do well together.  It will take a few years, but if he can get MU to 3 straight NCAAs and a Final Four, he's going to do well at IU.

[bleedbluegold03]

honestly who really cares anymore.

he is a high three star in most reports so i dont understand the constant fuss.

he is gone.

let it be

[IU fan]

Honestly, I think he will end up at Indiana. He loves Coach Crean, and he (Williams) is the one who pursued the idea. Check it out:

Right.  Because everyone knew he was one-and-done.  If TT was that type of player, I wouldn't have let him out either.

I have no problems with Crean, Williams and IU.  Williams was released immediately.  He can go wherever he wants.  There is no evidence that Crean contacted him first.

[TallTitan34]

I didn't realize that.  Thank God then.  Can you imagine West Virginia with those shooters then Beasley down low... who can also shoot!

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Honestly, I think he will end up at Indiana. He loves Coach Judas, and he (Williams) is the one who pursued the idea. Check it out:

I like IU fans calling Crean Judas too.
