Congrats to him on a very solid 4 years here in Cincinnati!

Also earning his degree (along with Lou Banks - plus, per the tweet in the Diarra thread, Vogt, Martin, Diarra and McNeal -- the latter earning a Master's)

Keith is going to go down as under appreciated especially after such a weird senior year. with everything that happened.

Per 247sports.com, Keith Williams, who has until 7/7/21 to pull his name from the NBA draft, just entered the transfer portal. That makes it seem as though he'll opt out of the draft.

Keith is going to go down as under appreciated especially after such a weird senior year. with everything that happened.

Keith reminds me of Bobby Austin (1979-82; in the 1,000 point club). Both good players and so athletic with so much potential. It was especially weird with Austin - always talk of his potential (greatness type of potential). Every year. Several years after he graduated, I remember reading an Enquier report of what he was up to, and there it was - still talking about his potential.

But make no mistake, he was very good.

We've got two threads going on Keith. I just wanted to link to the other one here:

I'll merge them once we figure out whether he's truly gone for good or not.

Per the Enquirer, KW has had offers from AR, FL, MD & WKU. If he chooses AR, the Razorbacks are in the HOF Classic. UC could face them the 2nd night.

From Jon Rothstein:

Cincinnati transfer Keith Williams tells me that he's receiving interest from the following programs:
Arkansas
Maryland
Florida
Western Kentucky

Good luck to him. I hope that they design the offense around him. He has always been a class act.

[red_n_black_attack]

I wish Keith all the best at WKU. I thought for sure he'd be in G League or overseas instead of one more year in college. I hope he shines.

Keith did not play in the first game for WKU. Apparently there are eligibility issues after he signed with an agent, and he has not been cleared.

[Lobot]

Still not cleared. No stats 9 games in for WKU. At this point he should probably just jump to Europe if he can

Maybe he can grab some tips Rapolas Ivanausakas and Jay Sorolla

[Lobot]

He’s going to have to now. This sucks for Keith. Hope he got a Masters out of it.
