Coach Dickson on Williams: "Hakeem will be another valuable player in our guard rotation and is certainly capable of being a good player at this level. He is a good athlete and very good on the ball defender, who should be able to make plays on that end of the court. Hakeem has a versatile skill set on offense and needs only some college experience and confidence in his own game to be a successful player."
Personal: Son of Carol... Undecided on his
major.
