C Amir Williams (Worcester Wolves - England)

Would really like to see him play to his size on the offensive end. He does a great job staying balanced and not leaving his feet on the defensive end. He rebounds well and is sharp with getting the ball out to his guards, but he looks really unsure of himself on the offensive end. Will probably just need some time to beef up, work on his offensive game, and get the coordination needed to operate effectively at that height.

We'll see how much he grows as a player between now and when he steps on campus, but at this point I think we're gonna be in some trouble in the paint in 2011. I'm not sure Amir is going to be ready to go from Day 1 and give you top level minutes.

I am not that concerned about his offense. I mean Dallas is not the most gifted offensive center that we have had at Ohio State but I am very pleased with him because of the intangibles that he brings to the court with his rebounding and defense and I think Williams will bring the same.

Also, Jared might still be around depending upon the CBA so Amir will not have to see major minutes when he gets here.

Agreed, specially about Jared returning next year (now where did I leave that praying emoticon) The Buckeyes did quite well last year with extremely limited inside scoring and excellent shooting and penetration, didn't hurt to have the player of the year either :tongue2:

Tom Markowski: Prep Insider
State's Mr. Basketball award is up for grabs

Williams, a 6-10 center who signed with Ohio State, is averaging 17.5 points, 13.3 rebounds and 6.2 blocks. In his most recent game, he showed why he would be a worthy winner. He had 28 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks in a 79-59 win at Southfield, ranked No. 9 in Class A, on Tuesday. Southfield also boasts a candidate in 6-foot Carlton Brundidge, but Williams clearly was the best player on the court.

Other factors in Williams' corner are these: He helped his team win the Class B title last season, and Country Day (11-2) is ranked No. 1 in The Detroit News Super 10.
