Nigel Williams-Goss, one of the top rated basketball players for the Class of 2013, is headed to Findlay College Prep in the fall. The 6-foot-2 point guard first made a basket on a 10-foot rim when he was 3, he played on a 17-and-under summer traveling team when he was 13 and his first collegiate letter of interest was from UCLA.
The Oregon native aims to play for the Pilots all four of his prep seasons. In this video he talks about what he hopes to accomplish at Findlay and beyond. It also contains some highlights of him in action.
Rob, is Peck expecting this kid to get any minutes this year? Will Findlay be adding anyone else this off season?
Mee, where are you my son...
ha ha, 23, mee will come out sooner or later ... yes, 23, Peck will be adding others this summer. It'll take more shape in late August, so stay tuned. But Williams-Goss very likely will get minutes in the fall, backing up Cory Joseph. Look for Rasham Suarez to split time between shooting guard and the point, but with Suarez and Williams-Goss on the court at the same time, you're looking at a pretty nifty two-headed monster in the backcourt. We have stuff planned on Findlay all summer, so we'll keep you up-to-date. thanks
Are you able to speculate on what players in particular Peck is looking at? I'm hoping Tony Wroten makes his way down here. Kruger is in the running for him so spending a couple years in Vegas to get to know the current Rebels and get familiar with the city can only help our chances of landing him. Maybe his Seattle buddy Avery Bradley puts in the good word for the Pilots?
I'm really not in position to speculate very much, 23, until coach Peck has players locked up. It would be premature and too random. You can be sure, though, that his phone has been ringing off its hook since they won that title two months ago. Even before then, really. So that will be a highlight gym for years to come. If I were a Rebels fan, I wouldn't get too caught up in Cory Joseph. Louisville has been in on him for a very long time, and he wouldn't mind playing with his brother at Minnesota, either. Still, he and Tristan Thompson will be an awesome duo next season and locals should see them as often as possible.
