Two Big East offers for Williams
With schools still scouring the 2008 ranks for available prospects, a productive spring has produced a couple Big East offers for Donald Williams.
A 6-foot-4, 185-pound guard from Temple Hills (Md.) Progressive Christian School, Williams has picked up offers from Marquette and St. John's since his Most Outstanding Player performance in the Select Division of the Tournament of Champions.

"I have high interest in Marquette and St. John's," said Williams. "I'm in the process of setting up a visit with St. John's for hopefully early next week, and then a visit with Marquette right after that."
Williams spoke further about why these two schools are at the top of his list which also includes UAB (offer), East Carolina and New Orleans (offer).
"They are in a good conference. The Big East is strong. I like the way the coaches communicate, and they sound like they would be good coaches to play for.
"With St. John's I like the atmosphere of New York City, and it would be cool to play in Madison Square Garden.
"And Marquette has a great winning tradition and has produced some great players like Dwayne Wade and Steve Novak."
