Adam Williams

Adam Williams was the first to commit on October 16th, 2003. He was a presumed project out of West Virginia. Even though he’d claimed the Bill Evans Award, given to the top high school player in the state and averaged 22.5 points and 11.5 rebounds his senior year, he was looked upon as a potential role player off the bench at the time of his commit. Ultimately, he never even developed into that. Scoring fourTOTAL points in one season after a redshirt year Williams transferred shortly thereafter.

However, Williams was somewhat the anomaly with this class, and honestly he never stood a chance. The 2004-05 team he joined was a very guard heavy team, with the likes of more veteran guards Ravi Moss, Josh Carrier, Brandon Stockton and along with the above mentioned newcomers he just simply got buried.

The rest of the class played out very well though.
