Terrance Williams signs with SIUE

[Nate Latsch]

Don't know if this has been posted before, but there was a note in the P-D today about Edwardsville's 7-footer Terrance Williams signing with Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.

There was a lot of talk about scholarship offers from places like Missouri and Missouri Valley Conference schools, but this appears to be right.

If Williams has the grades, he'll definitely be a player to watch for the next four or five years.

I totally agree. He is a big time pick-up for SIUE. He is a role player at D1, but an impact player at the D2 level.

Could SIU-E be D1 by the time he`s senior?

Williams could be an impact player at a mid-major D-1 level, too, in a couple years.

There aren't many centers out there who are 7-feet tall who can run and jump like he can.

He's still very raw, but he's made dramatic improvement over the last two years. He's the kind of kid a D-1 team would like to stash on the end of its bench for a couple years to see what he turns into.

I don't know what his academic situation is like, but that may have scared a lot of schools away.

That's what I was thinking too. I assume he's qualified if they signed him this late.
