WILLIAMS SAYS VIRGINIA TOPS LIST Derrick Williams visited Virginia over the weekend and now says it ranks at the top of his list. “It was incredible,” said the 6-foot-7, 250-pound rising senior forward out of St. Anthony in Jersey City. “I like the whole thing, everything about that school. The coaching staff, the location of the school.” He added: “As of right now, they are [my leader].” Richmond, Penn State, Maryland, Providence, Fordham, George Mason and VCU are also involved. Williams transferred into St. Anthony last season where he joined legendary coach Bob Hurley’s program. “Derrick is just a physical presence around the basket,” Hurley said. “He can score inside against an individual player. He can score in double-teams. He’s very hard to keep off the offensive boards. And he’s a willing passer, so when he draws double-teams, he willingly kicks to people for shots…He’s the physically strongest kid I’ve ever coached.” BARTON TO BREWSTER Memphis commit Will Barton will attend Brewster (N.H.) Academy next year and play for coach Jason Smith. His brother, Antonio Barton, who also committed to Memphis, could play for Notre Dame Prep. The news was first reported by FoxSports.com
