Gary Williams Signs With Nation’s Top JUCO
Anthony Ray

Westwind Prep 6-foot-5, 225-pound prep guard Gary Williams has signed a national letter of intent with one of the nation's premier junior college programs.

This week, Williams decided to sign with one of the nation’s elite junior college basketball programs – signing a national letter of intent with Indian Hills Junior College in Iowa. Indian Hills JC head coach Barrett Peery attended several of Williams’ games this summer and reeled in the ultra-talented guard prospect.

Still looking to get cleared by the NCAA’s Clearinghouse very late, Williams had planned to accept one of the many division-I offers that he had received over the summer, but now plans to attend Indian Hills JC for one year in an attempt to raise his recruiting stock.

Williams will look to play the point guard position for Indian Hills this season – a team that is already being heralded as the nation’s top program for the 2012-2013 season.

While playing for the Arizona Magic Elite 17U coached by Kenny Mullins, Williams was an instrumental force for the team, and ranked among the hottest unsigned prospects in the West throughout the summer. 

As a result of Williams’ play this summer, the talented and gifted bigger guard prospect reeled in serious division-I interest from numerous college programs, including Marquette, Oregon State, Texas San Antonio, New Mexico and Portland State.
