Troy Williams Postpones Decision (UPDATED)

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.

  • cant see carolina losing out on him

  • Seems like his Mom is into UK. At this point if UK does loose him, were still in on other studs, no worries.

  • tough call. good looking prospect. good size, length and athleticism. 2 weeks ago he was terrible at EYBL. shot something like 37% from the floor, 11% from three. last week he was a bit better. but he is taking a lot of shots to get his points. could be a number of different factors. or could be that other players just have caught up and passed him.

    uk could use some depth on the wing next season. but not the cost of losing out on wiggins and parker this early in the recruiting season.

    i guess we will see how it shakes out.

  • BC, I’ve never seen Parker going to UK. I think Duke ends up getting him. Randle, Chris Walker, and Wiggins, I do see. Troy Williams, I think it’s really 50/50, with me leaning on UNC.

  • I should have included this in my first post, but as much as people drooling over Wiggins, Xavier-Rathan Mayes is the one I’m really impressed with. This kid will be a problem!!! Still think he needs to shed a few pounds though.

  • looks like troy has postponed his decision. wonder why? lol

  • If UK does “lose” him, not loose.

  • uk gonna get em all lol..the good ones that is!!
