Report: Zion Williamson to visit South Carolina Saturday


QuoteFive-star small forward Zion Williamson will visit South Carolina on Saturday for the Gamecocks first home football game of the season.

That's according to Phil Kornblut, who recently spoke with Williamson's stepfather, Lee Anderson.

On Thursday, South Carolina basketball coach Frank Martin conducted an in-home visit with Williamson (6-7, 230) and his family.

"The visit went great, just like all the visits with the coaches so far," Anderson said. "[Martin's] message was about the fact they reached the Final Four last season and come help them get to that next level."

Williamson, a 2018 prospect from Spartanburg (S.C.) Day School, is tentatively set to take official visits to Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and UCLA.

According to the 247Sports composite, he's ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect in the country. The 247Sports Crystal Ball gives Kansas the slight edge over Kentucky. Duke is third and North Carolina is fourth.

Ole Miss received its third commitment in the past two weeks with Anthony Higgs' announcement Wednesday morning.


QuoteAnthony Higgs, a Maryland native and three-star small forward, per 247Sports' composite rankings, announced his verbal commitment to the Rebels Wednesday morning.

Higgs is the third commitment for the Rebels in the past two weeks. He's 6-foot-8 and 200 pounds and reportedly held offers from Colorado, Xavier and Kansas State.

Serrel Smith, a combo guard and Florida native, was the first player to commit to Ole Miss in this class on Sept. 14. He's also listed as a three-star.

JUCO shooting guard Brian Halums, who attends Itawamba Community College, committed on Sept. 21. He's not rated.

Ole Miss has made a concerted effort to target wing players in this recruiting class. After the season, the Rebels will lose guards Deandre Burnett and Markel Crawford.

Updated, with comments from Nembhard's dad --> Florida lands PG commitment for 2018 http://www.gatorsports.com/2017/10/florida-lands-pg-commitment-2018 ... via @GatorSports.com

QuoteFlorida secured a commitment from one of the top passing point guards in the Class of 2018 on Monday.

Andrew Nembhard, a 6-foot-4, 185-pound Canadian point guard from Aurora, Ontario, made a verbal pledge to the Gators. ESPN.com rated Nembhard as a four-star prospect, ranked as the 43rd best overall prospect and 11th best point guard in the country. Rivals.com rates Nembhard as a five-star prospect and 26th best player in the nation. That makes Nembhard the first five-star to commit under current UF coach Mike White.

"I'm grateful and excited to announce my commitment to Florida," Nembhard posted on Twitter.

"We're excited to be part of the Gator family," Nembard's father, Claude Nembhard said Monday. "We were there this past weekend. Had a great visit. Andrew is excited about it.

"He's an old-school point guard. A pass first guy. He's played for the Canadian National Team and will play for the Junior Men's National Team this year. He's a good student, 3.6, 3.7 GPA. "

Four-star hoops commit backs off pledge to UGA not 24 hours after announcement:


QuoteNot a full day after pledging to Georgia's basketball program, four-star wing Landers Nolley announced his decommitment.

In a tweet, Nolley stated this reversal came after talking it over with his parents.

Nolley is considered a top-100 prospect, according to the 247Sports.com composite rankings. He is ranked as high as No. 55 by Rivals.com.

As a junior at Langston Hughes, Nolley averaged 24.7 points while shooting 52 percent from the field, according to his profile on MaxPreps.com While he can take the ball to the hoop, Nolley is an exceptional 3-point shooter, having made 45 percent of his attempts last season.

What #Alabama is getting in new hoops commit Javian Fleming  https://247sports.com/college/alabama/Bolt/Alabama-Crimson-Tide-Football-Recruiting-What-Alabama-Is-Getting-In-Javian-Fleming--109889415 ... @EvanDaniels @jerrymeyer247


QuoteAlabama men's basketball added the second commitment in its 2018 on Friday in three-star center Javian Fleming out of Canton (Miss.)

At 6-foot-9, 230 pounds, Fleming is rated the No. 13 center and the No. 208 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.


Daniels says:

Javian Fleming is a strong, physical low post presence. Fleming's biggest value is in his raw strength, ability to carve out space around the goal and prowess on the glass. Fleming is a good area rebounder that isn't afraid to throw his body around in the paint.

At this stage, Fleming's defense is ahead of his offense, but Fleming, who is a below the rim guy, is also a threat to put back offensive misses. He also has good hands, but to impact this end of the floor he'll need to refine his post moves and develop with his back to the rim.

College basketball is here and there are many reasons to be pumped. But first ... is Bryce Drew about to sign a Kentucky-like haul?


QuoteOne or two great players can transform in college basketball, which actually helps explain why the FBI is now treating it like an organized crime family.

As other SEC programs deal with the fallout, Drew has sold the education, city and chance at ground-floor involvement in a rising program to point guard Darius Garland (Brentwood Academy), shooting guard Romeo Langford (New Albany, Ind.) and big man Simi Shittu (Saxton River, Vt.)

There are indications — in a land of rumors and writing on the wall that I call CrootinVille — that all three may be buying.

That's three of the top 15 players in the country, per Rivals.com rankings, with Langford at No. 6, Shittu No. 8 and Garland No. 15. That's Kentucky territory. These are three players who have offers from schools such as Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas ... name your favorite blueblood, that blueblood has been interested.

And in this age of short stays and freshman-loaded teams making deep runs, that's a 2018-19 national contender in Memorial Gym. Drew already has signed forward Aaron Nesmith (Charleston, S.C.) for 2018, beating out Florida and South Carolina among others for him. He has a solid freshman class on campus now. This stuff can happen fast.

It also can change fast, so hold the parade until names appear on the dotted line.

On Monday, Darius Garland — a 5-star prospect out of Brentwood, Tenn. — chose the Commodores over Indiana, Kentucky and UCLA


QuoteBrentwood Academy star joins 4-star SF Aaron Nesmith as Vanderbilt coach Bryce Drew's second pledge for 2018. He's rated as the No. 3 point guard and No. 10 overall player in the recruiting cycle, according to the 247Sports composite ranking.

"This was the best fit for me and my family," Garland told ESPN. "I can have the best of both worlds in academics and basketball at Vanderbilt. Someday the ball will stop bouncing and I want to prepare myself for that situation. My family put me in position to be successful so I want them to see me play as much as possible."

Breaking: Vanderbilt basketball commit Darius Garland among suspended players after locker room incident at Brentwood Academy


Quote"This is not hazing. BA always reviews and follows (Department of Children's Services) and police reporting requirements. This incident did not warrant notification," Brentwood Academy spokeswoman Susan Shafer emailed to the Tennessean.

"We had a few guys that didn't uphold the high expectations of Brentwood Academy, so they have been disciplined," said Brentwood head coach Hubie Smith. "We're playing a game Saturday and we'll have a handful of guys sitting out Saturday. They'll be back next week."

The Tennessean also reports that the players were academically suspended as well.

"When the school became aware of an incident [last] Thursday evening, we immediately addressed the issue with students involved and their parents," Shafer said. "While Brentwood Academy has been transparent about its disciplinary procedures with the students and parents involved, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our students and families."

These suspensions for this locker room incident happened while Brentwood is in the middle of a lawsuit centered on a sexual assault allegations from the 2014-15 school year. "The lawsuit alleges the boy, John Doe, also was assaulted in a Brentwood Academy  locker room by older basketball players."

LSU nabbed five-star pledge Emmitt Williams

QuoteThis is another big commitment for Will Wade and his staff. Williams is one of the toughest and most athletic players in the country. He has had a solid senior year on the court, and picked the Tigers over the Gators and the Oregon Ducks.

While undersized, this does give the Tigers one of the best recruiting classes in the nation and makes them one of the most athletic teams in the country in the frontcourt.

For now, LSU basketball's Class of 2018 ranks above LSU football


QuoteBATON ROUGE, La. — It isn't too peculiar to see LSU with a top-5 recruiting class in early February — unless the sport in question is basketball.

Will Wade has the Tiger basketball program in position to do something that has only happened one time since recruiting services started fastidiously tracking signing classes as the nternet exploded at the turn of the 21st century.

The exceedingly rare feat? Bringing in a class that ranks higher nationally than an LSU football recruiting class.

With the addition of 5-star power forward Emmitt Williams' commitment last week, the LSU basketball Class of 2018 rates third in the nation according to 247 Sports. With less than a week to go until signing day, LSU football is 13th.

Both of those positions are likely to change.

What are the UGA basketball recruits thinking right now?


QuoteAmanze Ngumenzi sounds hopeful about the future of Georgia basketball.

The 6-foot-9, 245-pound point forward from Solomon C. Johnson High School in Savannah ranks as the nation's No. 26 power forward and the No. 103 overall prospect on the 247Sports composite for 2018.

He signed with UGA back in November. That was a time when things looked hopeful for the Mark Fox era.

That run has ended.

"Keeping Coach Jonas [Jarvis Hayes' brother who played with him at Georgia] around is important to me because of the way he recruited me and the relationship that he and I have built in that process," he said.

Ngumenzi said he's in close contact with Norcross senior forward JoJo Toppin, the other forward the Bulldogs signed back in November.

They both feel the same way about Hayes.

Look for the Bulldogs to have at least one more scholarships to play with for 2018. That is if both of the team's November signees stick with their letters of intent and do not ask for a release.

Georgia had 13 players on scholarship this season and three of those slots are coming open after player eligibility was exhausted by three seniors of the 2017-2018 team.
