[MrMemorial]

Texas 5A player of the year as a h.s. junior.

Williams appears to have four years of eligibility remaining as he joins the Vanderbilt program.

This is getting scary...in a good way.

[Dsdore]

Is he a walk on? Thought we were out of scholarships.

[Go Vandy!]

Looks good. But why can't we get any First Baptist high schoolers?

Nick Nolte already signed the best one up in rural Indiana.

Jordan Williams is included among the 17 players currently listed on the team's roster.

13 of the 17 are listed as freshman or sophomore!

I think Messer/Calton/Keefe are walk-ons. That puts us at 13 or 14 schollie players?

[UltimateVUFan]

Yeah. I really don’t understand where this stands with scholarships. But if it doesn’t indicate that VU is losing any other pieces, I’m good with it.

That means we're guaranteed to keep them for ..... ONE YEAR. Or until the NCAA adopts the perpetually open transfer portal (POTP).

[VUaskew]

That may be quite the steal of the class before it's all over.

SEC-level commits just don't drop out of the sky...

[BEATUT]

Great news but not quite sure how we get 14 scholarships? Hopefully no one is leaving.

I'm not quite sure I understand this addition. I don't see him as a better prospect than West, and we already have Manjon, Lewis and West at the PG position. I'm also not following how he fits from a scholarship standpoint, and if we added him but are losing someone else who is currently a part of the 13 scholarship players, I'm not sure who I would prefer to have him over. How does he fit? Is he a Preferred WO or paying his own way for school (seems unlkely)?

Note that in addition to already having Manjon, Lewis and West on the roster, we add Bilal next season at point. CJS sure does like stockpiling players who played PG in HS it seems.

This could be a Lewis/Ansong type more to fill a scholarship late if we actually had an open scholarship, so what am I missing here?

I’ve been told he is a preferred walk-on. His bio on the Vanderbilt website says he is an honors student with a 4.5 gpa or something absurd. I would assume he’s at Vanderbilt for academics.

Coach understands that guards drive everything in this space.
