If Williams wants to go hang out in Hawaii, he appears to have that option.
If he wants a Stanford education, that appears to be in play, too.
A blue blood like Kentucky or Arizona would be notable, for sure.
Williams is 6-foot-10 and began his college career at UCLA as a top-100 recruit.
He ended up at FAU this past season and averaged 7.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.
His size, length and athleticism give Williams a chance to be a contributor, but it remains to be seen where he'll be taking those talents next.
