ESPN reporter Paul Biancardi also reported Brandon Williams committed to Gonzaga and then he deleted his tweet when he realized he was wrong. This is just too much! He has not committed anywhere as of yet.

I talked with Brandon Williams again tonight and I'll be posting more on this tomorrow.

This could be a McConnell/PJC 2.0 situation.
We have a senior PG, a true freshman behind to learn for a year knowing he was going to be handed the keys as soon as the upperclassman leaves.
If the results are the same, I'll take it..

I still have faith in Barcello making an impact in the next couple of years too

I didn't intend for that to be a slide on Barcello.
It is hard to have three PGs on a roster like ours and expect all three to be fine with their situation.

Even if Barcello was able to carve out a role, how would that look in the rotation?
We should still have Williams at PG, Smith/Randolph/Akot/Doutrive/Theilemans on the wing for 1-3 years.
The bodies start to add up and you think someone isn't to stay if they are clearly being recruited over AND aren't getting the reps they believe they deserve.
Unless Barcello is able to bring something to the table that Coleman/Williams can't, or do it much better than them, he isn't going to climb high enough to make his mark, unless he is one of those players that is just happy to be at his hometown school.

I was able to talk to Williams a couple of times in the past week or so. I asked him if he was going to have a final 2.  He said his next announcement would be his final one & would be his team. I joked & asked if he was going to make an announcement on when his announcement would be & he said that yes he was actually going to announce the date he's picking his team, so we'll all know the exact date he'll make his announcement soon.

I asked him about what he thought about the 247sports predictions (They're all picking Oregon) & he said that they're wrong & have no clue who he's going to pick. Williams said 247sports makes their predictions after they talk to the players & he said he doesn't talk to any of the 247 guys.

Williams just got done with his Gonzaga visit & I'll be posting a more on what he had to say after his last visit later today.

BWill's final visit at Gonzaga has now come and gone and now we just have to wait for him to decide. Like we said above Williams has made an announcement of his announcement, lol. He's announcing who his team will be on Saturday May 5th at 3:30. Let's get to the rest on Williams

I asked BWill about his twitter post of his top 3 schools. In that post he had background music with lyrics that Wildcat fans quickly picked apart. The lyrics said "that's my top 3 in the order" Williams said that Arizona just happened to be the first team that was shown and thought it was crazy how deep people were looking into it.

I asked Brandon what he liked best about Arizona, Oregon, & Gonzaga. He answered the question by telling me what he liked about Arizona & didn't say anything about Oregon or Gonzaga. He did mention that Oregon players Bol Bol & Miles are constantly texting him like crazy trying to recruit him to the Ducks. While I was talking with him a report came out that he had committed to the Zags. He immediately asked who was saying this and said he did not commit to the Zags contrary to the reports.

Finally, I asked him what school he was going to pick. He said that he really doesn't know what school he's going to pick. He did say that his parents might want him to go to a certain school, but in the end he's going to pick the school that he wants to go to.
