I Have never consider to quite. Amari Williams

The arrival of the Kentucky Wildcats on campus marks the beginning of a new era for UK Basketball under Mark Pope.

Adding athletes from the portal and high school ranks to the roster was only one of the many tasks the new staff had to accomplish. Coach Pope brought in big-man Amari Williams from Drexel as one of his initial recruits.

Although there was a brief period of time when many in the BBN believed Williams would never make it to campus, he will arrive in Lexington in the coming days.

It was rumored that a decommitment was imminent, so on May 1, Pope and Williams met late at night. In a recent interview, Williams stated he always intended to stick to his pledge with Jacob Polacheck of KSR. “There was absolutely no chance that I was going anywhere.

I was aware of its location. My coaches were aware that I would stay, Williams claimed. “All that needed to be done was talk to him and find out where things stood. My choice would have remained the same even if he hadn’t flown out to visit me. I had already decided to visit the UK.

In an effort to maintain his domination in Rupp Arena, three-time CAA Defensive Player of the Year Williams intends to play a significant part for this future roster. Brandon Garrison, a transfer from Oklahoma State, will be his opponent for the starting center spot.

Williams is still expected to play a significant part in the upcoming season and ought to be considered for the SEC All-Defensive Team, even if he is not selected for the position.
