PULLMAN – Kyle Smith and his vision for the Washington State basketball program have apparently struck a chord with one of the top players from Seattle’s highly-regarded Metro League.
Noah Williams, a 6-foot-5, 190-pound point guard from O’Dea High School, signed with Smith and the Cougars on Twitter Tuesday night. A three-star prospect according to ESPN.com and 247Sports.com, Williams had previously beeen committed to Buffalo – a top-10 program in 2017-18 – until April 3, when he reopened his recruitment, citing a desire to locate “a system both academically and athletically that is the right fit.”
Williams’ decommitment came not long after Buffalo coach Nate Oats left the Bulls to take the vacant job at Alabama.
