Colorado basketball lands five-star recruit Cody Williams

Gilbert (Ariz.) Perry On3 Consensus five-star recruit Cody Williams has committed to Colorado, becoming the program’s highest-ranked recruit in the modern recruiting era.

Williams, a 6-foot-7 class of 2023 small forward, chose the Buffaloes over Arizona, USC, LSU, LMU, Santa Clara, and others.

He is Colorado’s second commitment to the class, joining three-star guard Courtney Anderson (No. 173).

Williams is the No. 20 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 5 small forward and the No. 2 player in the state of Arizona.

Scouting Summary

Cody Williams has great length with broad shoulders, a very predictable frame. He has great instincts, especially on the defensive end of the floor. He is aggressive and instinctive in the passing lanes. Williams needs strength, with the added strength more explosion could come. Offensively, he has some tools across the board. A solid straight line driver in the half court. Would like to see him tighten the handle and straighten up the jump shot. With the added strength more efficiency could come. Younger brother of 2022 lottery pick Jalen Williams. – On3’s Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst
