This kid just committed to Wake, anyone ever hear of him??? Below is from the WS Journal and it indicated we offered him:
L.D. Williams played mostly wing guard at Montverde but also spent time at point guard and wing forward. According to his father, he averaged 13.5 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.4 steals.
“It was a very good decision,” Larry Williams said. "A lot of people felt like he didn’t have a good enough jump shot, but everybody knew he played awesome defense and could run the floor and jump out of the gym.
“He wanted to show everybody ‘Hey, I do have those skills.’ So we had to put him in a place where he was going to be able to do that. And he’s done that.”
Larry Williams said that his son received scholarship offers from Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Miami, Florida State and UNC Charlotte. He also said that L.D. had received late interest from North Carolina but no offer yet.
LD’s a good player but the jump shot is really weak. His game is all about the dunks.
It’s almost safe to say if he’s not dunking he’s not scoring. But he’s just athletic enough to go past people and hit a floater.
Pretty good player, that Charlotte had a little interest in.

That's sounds familiar... :rolleyes:
He went to Powerbait’s high school. I saw him play several times including on a few visits home to Winston. He’s a very talented player and one that I wish we had gotten. I think he will be great at Wake.
Jordan is right about his jump shot but I think under Skip Prosser’s style of play he will get better and better.

I was wondering if that was him. I never got a chance to see him play but I heard he was talanted. Oak Hill scheduled Forbush High just because of this kid (at least that was my understanding). Unfortunately for Forbush - the kid transferred and Forbush had NO help against Oak Hill.
