Keshawn Williams

[Bill Lowery]

Williams led Bloom into the sectionals with an outstanding performance.


Bloom 60, Thornwood 28

Bloom (28-5): Keshawn Williams 22 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks. Dante Maddox Jr. 13 points, 7 rebounds. Christian Shumate 10 points, 11 rebounds, 7 blocks. Martice Mitchell 9 points, 10 rebounds, 3 blocks.

This is a great pickup.

We are going to have a seriously talented PG position for years to come.

Joiner, Hill, and Williams next year to go along with Jackson, Embery and the other transfer (brain is not working) we are getting an upgrade in the back court. Need some front court skills and we will be a complete and DEEP team.

The other transfer is Curtis Haywood. He’s supposed to be more of a SG / SF

Haywood.

If you look at Haywood’s clips, we’re getting a steal.

He hit a cold shooting streak from 3, and lost his spot. Many within Ga Tech say Pastner jacked him up, and never game him a chance to regain his confidence.

He has a fantastic shooting stroke.

Pastner might be the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Hope you’re right. We need him.

Hawyood is basically a guard version of Horne. He's got a smooth stroke from outside and can get hot from several feet behind the 3 point arc. The biggest difference is Haywood is probably a better passer / driver than Horne.

Is he as good of a defender/rebounder as Horne? If he’s close then we are going to have a stud

Haywood really isn't a post guy though he can grab some rebounds. No idea about his defense, but he doesn't seem like the type to bang inside to me. He had some injury issues at Tech during his Freshman year that made things hard for him. One good thing is that he's very careful with the ball. He averages nearly twice as many assists as turnovers.

Any news if we have a big guy that we have an inside track to commit

At the moment, not really. We're working on several though.

There are about six that TU is actively recruiting...there are a couple threads discussing them in Hurricane Alley.

@Bill Lowery.....Are we still recruiting Christian Shumate from Bloom? He seems
to fill up a stat sheet, and sounds like he is active on the inside.....

He’s still being recruited but the emphasis is on getting a big who can defend the rim and rebound. There’s a chance a slot will open up to allow a guy like Shumate to come in or a great shooter. We’re recruiting both shooters and bigs with Shumate being a junkyard dog type player. It’s always nice to have a guy like him.

There's the one recruit we got last year that I hope doesn't leave us. Wainwright

 

[TU Man]

EXTEND him!!!!

Wainwright is the real MVP, if/when Haith wins AAC coach of the year he needs to hand the trophy directly to Wainwright.

Didn't know if anyone had the balls to say that but I have been to several practices and Wainwright is truly a difference maker vs last year.

He really teaches. He’s firm, but not a jerk.

He (Wainwright) seems to have achieved emeritus status while he is still active....
Teaching the X's and O's is one thing...Getting the team, apparently to the last
man, to buy in to the degree they did is quite another.....Wow!

I'm a fan......

If there is any upside to KES and Haywood not being waivered this season, it
is that they have had a year's experience in learning our base defense before
starting varsity play....It is also possible that it will allow them to have an added
chance to participate in post-season play.....

We finally found an upside to the loss of waiver for those guys. lol......
