Arizona Wildcats guard Brandon Williams opened the door for speculation in May when he said that he will “definitely” play next season, “but it’s just a matter of where at this point.”
The rumor mill only intensified when Arizona signed two more recruits, putting them one player over the 13 scholarship limit for the 2020-21 season. It appeared the writing was on the wall, that Williams was the odd man out.
But UA head coach Sean Miller clarified Tuesday that Williams’ status has not changed. He is still on scholarship at Arizona, enrolled in a summer class, and plans to finish rehabbing his surgically-repaired knee when he returns to campus later this summer.
