Arie Williams

[tornado]

I have no idea whether Bradley is recruiting this guy but I thought I'd throw his name out there as his numbers are pretty staggering...
I hope we get on the kid........someone let Geno know
He was virtually unknown and mentioned only on the most obscure sites and in his hometown newpaper until just the past month...

Arie Williams (2013) is a 5-9 pg (but still growing) who plays for Elgin HS - averaging 26.3 ppg, 3.4 assists, and shooting 44% from the arc
..and as can be seen from the following links - he's a gamer and hits clutch shots..and was named the Sun Times Athlete of the Week...(entire Chicago area)..

He currently has NO D-I offers!!!!

He probably has no D1 offers for a reason. Hopefully BU doesn't feel the need to settle for plays who we have no competition in recruiting.

[tornado]

you mean like Zecevic who was a complete unknown with zero offers before BU offered and who hasn't shown up in the box score of any game since, and Devon Hodges who we were the only school on earth who offered...? Or Buovac or Brzoja - neither of whom can hit a shot now at DI and can't find playing time even with weak teams?
Williams has only blown up in the past few weeks - I am not saying we must offer - just named him because he is blowing up...

Yes, just like John Wilkins.

[tornado]

I disagree - John Wilkins had numerous BCS-level schools offering him - or do you not remember this....Iowa, Iowa State, Providence, Marquette, Indiana...all were pursuing Wilkins
and most of them offered....(Providence, Iowa State, IU..) - LINK - LINK
in the right system, Wilkins would have done well but Jank cow-towed to his demands to play a shooting guard in a system that had 20 ppg shooting guards already

Is Zecevic still on Lee's team? I couldn't find him on their 2012-13 roster? Unless I'm looking at an outdated iteration...

[Da Coach]

Yes, he is still at Lee Academy. It's hard to find it on the internet.
They have a regular high school team that competes in the Maine high school association. But they also have a prep school team, which Zecevic is on.

Lee Prep roster- Zecevic is #14-

Sorry. Didn't do enough dilligence. But that's what you're here for

Arie Williams got very little D-I interest because of his short stature - and has chosen a D-II - http://seasonpass.suntimes.com/news_...9?refferal=rss
