  • Troy Williams Postpones Decision (UPDATED)

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    After initially saying he would announce Tuesday for either Kentucky or North Carolina, Troy Williams has postponed his decision.

    “Postponed the decision for a while, gonna set up a new date later on this week,” he wrote on Twitter. “Didn’t feel right waking up this morning.”

    Boo Williams, Troy’s uncle, told SNY.tv: “We’ll regroup and see where he’s going from here. He’s a kid, it’s hard to say. I don’t know if he’s gonna move it a week or a month or move it to July.”

    Earlier, the 6-foot-7 wing from Phoebus (Va.) High told the Louisville Courier-Journal: “They’re both good schools. They’re like the top two programs out there right now, so it’s going to be a hard decision. But it will come down to which coach I like the best.”

    Williams said Kentucky coach John Calipari told him he could be similar to former St. Patrick star Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

    “Kentucky plays a fast pace and coach (Calipari) is a good friend of my uncle’s,” Williams said.

    As for Carolina, “some of the players came from my uncle’s team. They get up and down, too, and have a lot of dunks.”

    Williams is the No. 4 small forward in the Class of 2013, per Rivals.
