Report: Four-star Brandon Williams sets commitment date

Middle Village (N.Y.) Christ The King four-star recruit Brandon Williams will reportedly announce his college decision on September 19th between St. John’s and UCLA.

The announcement will be made at his high school at 2:30 PM ET.

The 6-foot-7, 205-pound power forward also received offers from Illinois, Oklahoma State, USC, Seton Hall, Kansas State, and others.

UCLA hosted Williams for an official visit in mid-August, and St. John’s, the “hometown school”, has hosted Williams on multiple occasions.

Williams is the No. 88 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. 19 power forward and the No. 1 player in the state of New York. On3’s evaluators are higher on Williams, ranking him 70th overall in the class.

Williams breaks down schools

In a previous interview with On3, Brandon Williams discussed the Red Storm and the Bruins.

St. John’s: “With St. John’s, just being around the coaching staff and the NYC guys that are like me, it of course felt like home and felt like automatic family. With them recruiting me heavily, I’ve just been very thankful for the whole process.

UCLA: “UCLA, I first started talking to around the end of 2021. When my school season began in December, we were in California playing and I unofficially visited UCLA and the campus was huge and everything was just beautiful and just calm and a great environment to be in. I feel like the coaches are great people and players also, and they can help me get better as a player in person and get me where I want to go.”
