A WSU coach is back in Texas:

SouthTxIrishSouth Texas Irish

@TexasHoopsGASO Indiana St and Wichita St visiting Mike Williams and DJ MacLeay at Reagan today.

D.J. MacLeay is a 6-7 PF. He is Texas Hoops 66th ranked player for 2013.
Mike Williams is a 6-2 guard also in the 2013 class. Both played AAU with the South Texas Irish. Reagan Hi is in San Antonio. This coach will probably be staying for the Mullins/Mitchell Juco Jamboree Plano. It will feature 60 Juco Programs from all over the country and well over 200+ Division One college prospects.

Interesting. Verrrrrrrrry interesting.

How about a little spell check on the city name, Trop!?!?

I don't see it, tell me. I just added edited info about Reagan Hi being in San Antonio which I think I spelled right and I'm confident in Plano. Did I spell another city? Which reminds me of how I have to check for Witchita State on Twitter.

Why do people on this site need to always make a sly remark about spelling. Dont think it is necessary

Trop -

(1) It was originally spelled San Antionio
(2) I don't care how you spell it, I could tell what you meant.
(3) I was joking
(4) Thanks for the good scoop as always - I have connections to Reagan, Churchill, and MacArthur down here and will be attending games this year. Also, just in case you doubt whether going to the effort of posting Twitter handles in this info is worth it - it is. I've added both of those guys.

Is this it? It only goes up to 91.

Yes, thanks TMH. Michael Williams is ranked #30 on TexasHoops for the class of 2013.

[tropicalshox]

Michael Williams' list includes Wichita State, Creighton, TCU, Tulsa, Rice, Army, Air Force and Ivy League schools.

If you’re looking at stats, keep in mind that Williams struggled with an injury last year. He missed several games and had limited minutes in others.

Pretty solidly built; reminds me of his former teammate Tre Demps that is now at Northwestern. The weight room will help him play a higher level of basketball, not be a mandatory exercise for him. I wouldn’t say he’s quite to the point of Tekele Cotton in being physically able to bang people around, but I’d bet he’s close to where TC was physically before his senior year.

The most noticeable part of his game to me was his ability to accelerate – both to the baseline and to gaps in the zone or a press.

I didn’t notice an exception handle or exceptional range, although he was good in both areas. Nice form on his jumper and is a good free throw shooter.

Plays the 1 and the 2, although that seemed to be dictated by personnel rather than who he is as a player. Has enough of an eye for the bucket that he doesn’t seem like a true point guard to me, but that doesn’t mean he can’t play it in college.

Those observations are way more opinion than fact due to not really getting to see him at full strength last year. I go to several of that district’s games every year since I live in the area; if he stays on the radar screen I’ll put more info up.


Thanks for the heads up, Trop. Looks like he’s #25 on this list:

Do you have any connections to people that are alive? Just kidding.

Great school in a nice area with a good program - the caliber of the kids and those schools doesn't surprise me. Those short lists are much more in line with their athletic abilities (and height) at the positions they're best suited to play (2 for Williams, 4 for MacLeay). I would obviously love to have a hometown kid to root for on the Shocks, but they didn't strike me as great fits in Marshall's hyperathletic system.

Best of luck to them.

Williams has added Utah to his short list to go along with Tulane and TCU. He is planning visits to all three of these finalist.
