2030 Transfered from Louisiana State
At first glance, William might appear to be somewhat of a bust. He was a three-star recruit coming out of high school, and he appears to offer absolutely nothing offensively. However, his post defense, rebounding, and shot blocking abilities mark him as a classic Blue Collar Man, in a compact package.
William never saw the floor at LSU, but I think there's a useful squad player in there. He'll battle in practice every day with talented big men like
Kris DeMello,
Clemens Schwaiger, and
Zach Cohen, and in a few months, he'll be able to try to stop
Tony Ezell. Collins is also a very good student.
Welcome to our program, William!
