The Missouri coaching staff worked hard for the services of Southwind forward Johnathan Williams III — literally.
He chose the Tigers over finalists Georgetown, Michigan State, Tennessee and George Mason.
"It's just a great situation," Williams said. "I went to their workouts, saw their workouts, and they work extremely hard. I know they're gonna do big things this year and then next year when I get there."
Williams' mother said she was spiritually comfortable with sending her son to Columbia, as the family emphasized faith in the decision-making process.
"They take the boys to church. They're just with them. They pray together, and they eat breakfast together every morning at 7:25 (a.m.)," Barbara Williams said. "He loves that."
Johnny Williams said. "But Missouri was interested because of his work ethic. Night and day, he's gonna study, play basketball and pray."
