"Former Lincoln star Williams picks Syracuse, continuing Orange's stranglehold on the city"
The article really paints a picture about how tight these NYC kids are with each other. Sure isn't going to hurt in our efforts to bring Ogundeko and Edwards into the fold.
"Williams is the latest New York City recruit for Marrone and assistant John Anselmo, the Orange’s local recruiter. He will join a large city contingent, which includes good friends Ivan Foy and Brandon Reddish, formerly of Fort Hamilton, and Wayne Morgan of Erasmus Hall.
“It was a big factor,” he said. “Being comfortable is a big thing. It’s going to be like being at an all-star game again.”
Williams chose Syracuse over Texas A&M, Temple and Rutgers. He said Rutgers finished a close second. It was hard saying no to head coach Kyle Flood, who recruited Williams while he was an assistant under Greg Schiano, but he desperately wanted to join his friends at Syracuse.
“Coach Kyle Flood is building a great program at Rutgers; how could you not go somewhere where the head recruiter is the head coach? At Syracuse, I have all my brothers with me and how can I tell my brothers I’m not going to join them?” he said. “It was a real hard decision. At the end of the day, I wanted to go with my New York guys.”
