So it isn't all about guards and wings in 2011 recruiting for the Arizona Wildcats. Sean Miller is scheduled to make an in-home visit with big man Amir Williams of Detroit Country Day next week, according to Williams' high school coach.
Country Day coach Kurt Keener said today that UA coaches are scheduled to meet with Williams sometime next week on campus, where he is conducting all his in-home visits. Williams has already met with Florida, DePaul and Oklahoma, and he's scheduled to receive a pitch from Ohio State tonight.
Keener said Miami (Fla.) is another possibility, since Williams has been there on an unofficial visit. Williams has not yet taken an official visit, nor scheduled any.
"I think he's got it down to 6-8 schools for home visits," Keener said. "His plan is to go through the home visits and then narrow it down" for official campus visits.
Arizona may have a good chance to attract Williams for a visit, since he has already dropped Michigan and Michigan State while making it clear that he is interested in playing away from home.
"I think he's fairly serious" about Arizona, Keener said. "They were in here a lot when they were recruiting Ray McCallum last year and Amir had a chance to meet their staff. He had always told me he wanted to go away for school. The economy is in the tank here and kids are looking to go new places."
Keener said his son, Joey, had the same feeling especially after the family vacationed in Arizona several years ago. In what certainly can't hurt UA's chances for Williams, Joey Keener is now a manager on Miller's staff.
