Re-recruit Williams????

Any chance of re-recruiting Williams?  We need size and have minutes.

It was an odd separation to say the least.

The smell of desperation is beginning to reach my nostrils.

The clamoring to re-recruit a guy who averaged 3.8/2.6 per game I can't understand.  Am I missing something?  People rather this than guys like Kante or take a chance on a 7'2" kid?

He is a useful player. He plays defense and is phyisical. He was by far our best post defender.

Easy to explain. No one is choosing Williams over Kante. Yes, you're missing the frustration of guys leaving but no one coming back. Where are the bigs that we're recruiting ?

Yeah but that's not saying much.

These guys decided to leave like a week or two ago.  People want them replaced with Dikembe Mutumbo in a day.  We didn't lose anybody who really did much at all except Ellison.  If we land a guy like Kante, I don't think we miss Williams 3/2 average at all.  Also, at this point, Alibegovic hasn't left.  Doesn't mean he won't, but hasn't yet.

It's foolish to expect a 3* freshman to replace a redshirt JR who was a 3* himself out of high school. Williams was the only guy we had that could body anyone inside.

It's not foolish to think if we land Kante he can't replace 3.5ppg, 2.5 rebs per game.  In fact if we land him, I bet he does significantly better than those numbers.  Not foolish in the least.
