SLU_Nick Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I thought Stu wrote a very good article on RW. https://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/williams-wants-to-diversify-his-game-at-slu/article_2d220edd-afc9-55e3-a206-4ff5fbf72500.html If Williams really is a point guard, I could see him taking a large portion of minutes away from Yuri if RW can consistently knock down the outside jumper. It really just gives us another weapon which is a good thing. Ford being able to keep all these players happy is a incredible feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Most guards with good handles play point guard in high school. That doesn't necessarily translate at the college level. Tay Weaver, for example, was a point guard in high school. I'm rooting for Rashad to be the combo guard we're looking for. slufanskip and BilliesBy40 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Williams came across pretty well in that interview. The only thing that surprised me was he has to get a waiver for this year. I thought all that stuff was put on the back burner for this season. Evidently it doesn't apply to two time transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Ref Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Yeah... let's hope he can play immediately. I would rather not watch him in sweats on the bench for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Good article. He has not been a facilitator at all during his career, so I'm skeptical that he'll be able to fill that role. Also, I'm not sure how well Nesbitt will be able to do that. Goodwin was a secondary playmaker and I don't feel like we have replaced that. If he returns, problem solved of course, if not, it needs to be addressed. Remember last year, even with Goodwin, we had a couple games where our walk-on PG had to play some meaningful minutes due to injuries to YC and DJ. Also, this is another example of why the criticism that the P-D ignores us (yadayada) doesn't fly any more. In recent years, they have done a lot more feature articles throughout the offseason. almaman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheneverspeculate Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Rashad Williams Shot 689 in three seasons! I hope he can play at that position! Perhaps all of what he needs are some good shoes for guards (lol): https://basketballonpoint.com/best-basketball-shoes-for-guards/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Did he sit out a year between Cleveland State and Oakland? If so, then the NCAA should grant his waiver. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 According to ESPN, Williams’ freshman year at Cleveland State was 2018-19. He then moved on to two years at Oakland. That was 2019-20 and last year 2030-21. I see no sit out year in those three consecutive seasons yet he is listed as a “RS” on some sites.
