Right, because he and his father couldn’t contain their excitement for his commitment and had to tweet about it. Makes sense.
Brooks's dad seems to get it. He's being patient with the process. He wants his son to develop before he goes to the NBA.

For the first time since 2015 we are going to have OPTIONS to gameplan with instead of the same 7 guys playing the same amount no matter what. We play Kansas or Baylor with large front lines slide Jackson into the PF and you have a bruising shot blocking front court...or we have to play Nova in the elite eight slide Williams into the PF and play 4 out with one in and actually have the outside shooting to pull it off! Sarr, Boston, & Clarke are always going to be out there but there are going to be lots of lineup options. No more being held hostage by players with massive ego's and a short bench. The bench is loooooooooooong and well stocked with options and it's such a refreshing change.It would be an unusual decision with tons of minutes available in year two.
Might be fun to just enjoy the season that is six months away before we project transfers.
Very good reminder Coach Mike
Yes, I said that. The logic is that 2 is better than 1 as far as going for appeal. Williams missed an entire season already and not only had his coach fired, but under more than just losing games. He actually has a lot better of a shot then Sarr although I think they both should be granted waivers it is the NCAA so you never know and 2 shots at it is greater than one.So you think we should get Williams in case Sarr isn’t able to play immediately? You realize Williams has to get a waiver to be eligible immediately too right? I’m not following your logic.
Considering Walter McCarty was fired over sexual assault allegations, I think it would be quite easy for Williams to claim a toxic culture he morally did not feel comfortable being a part of.Yes, I said that.

Absolutely, and things do and can change quickly. Anselem changed very quickly!We know how frustrated some people get on this board with recruiting; I would hate to see them extremely upset if he [Williams] committed elsewhere after such pro-Kentucky insight trickling out this evening.
But, if he [Williams] does commit ... my goodness! High-level talent; a mixture of proven experience; capable role-players; a twelve-man roster that should [theoretically] be complemented with great balance.
I like our team.

Yea, that makes sense to me. What was he ruled ineligible for?Exactly, I don't get how some on here think Sarr has a better case for appeal. Williams graduated HS in 2016. He was at the NBA Top 100 camp in 2015. He wasn't eligible to play the entire season of 2018 (See story below). Then he was injured 18 games into last year and missed the rest of the season. On top of all of that, his coach was not only fired but fired over infractions and allegations whereas Sarr's coach was just fired because of losing. Williams has been through a lot.
I think they both should get waivers, but who knows what the NCAA will do, but no way does Sarr have a better case than Williams and to me, Williams should be a no-brainer for wavier.
I never got the Frank kid stuff. Didn't ever see him coming, seemed like BS talk. I did, however, think we should go after Williams a month ago and really hope we land this kid.

He did online courses and played for some post-grad team out of HS so not sure if grades or the team he played on. Here's more about it.Yea, that makes sense to me. What was he ruled ineligible for?
Wake will not be a problem.And Evansville will cooperate with the transfer. Wake Forest will probably try to make things difficult.
Cuz we need 1 for 2021Why not get Williams and Anselem? We have two more scholarships.
I could see that . except at PF I think Williams will play 20 Brooks 15 and ware 5 and at the SF I think Brooks will some there not williams . At the 5 Sarr will play more then jackson but not 3x more. I see it 25-15 .
Wake will not be a problem.
Let's just say I know coach Forbes. I have not talked to him on this issue but I know in the long run he will support Sarr transferring. He has made his reputation on transfers at ETSU. He will need several transfers to be immediately eligible at Wake next year in order to field a team. Forbes is a fighter and he was doing everything he could to keep Sarr but now that the decision has been made he will support his transfer to UK.You sound confident. Do you have inside info or is this just your always positive attitude on display? Not judging, just curious.

Most people are saying UK looks the favorite with Baylor as the dark horse. I haven't heard any talk of Memphis or Arkansas.Corey Evans said he’d be shocked if Williams chose UK or Memphis. I hope he’s wrong.
I'd love to have him, but where's he fit?
Doesn't make any sense to transfer and come off the bench/fight for minutes.
where did you see this ?Corey Evans said he’d be shocked if Williams chose UK or Memphis. I hope he’s wrong.
A thread on rivals recruiting board.where did you see this ?
I'd love to have him, but I don't understand why he'd choose to come here and share minutes unless he just really wants to be at a place like Kentucky.
His mentor sounds like Jackson and Ware may prevent him from picking UK. We'll see, I guess
This article isn’t very positive....sounds like his camp thinks there are too many chefs in the kitchen. Which is a fair assessment. But it’s going to be a double blow if he picks Baylor and elevates them.

5 days ago I was under the impression we were 3rd and basically out of the running. A little glimmer of hope yesterday but still skeptical. As of today though he is ours to lose. Let’s get a commitment before he changes his mind! This has been one wild off season and it’s only first week of May.Agree with Z71
He will not be playing 30 minutes per game. No problem if he has a few fouls plus Cal is a good defensive coach. Most of his fouls were due to him being out of position. Cal will correct that.idk...in 18 games last year he fouled out in 5 of them. in 4 others he recorded 4 fouls. and this was in the MVC. he is talented and i can see why folks would want his skill set....but i think some people have turned into something he isnt. i will say the big 12 is probably a better conference for him. its a league mostly built around transfers and its a pretty small league over all.
They are saying all the right things to make certain he gets his waiver to play.Sounds like Williams is coming, just waiting a week from Sarr's announcement to spread the joy out.
