Before choosing to play at Memphis in late May, Latavious Williams, an athletic 6-8 forward in the class of 2009, took recruiting visits to Georgetown and Florida International.
It looks like he kept the urge to travel - internationally.
Yesterday, Williams, who is ranked as the 17th best talent in his class by Rivals, announced that he will be playing abroad next year, the latest in a trend of prep players who've decided they'd rather not enter the college ranks - paychecks abroad will suffice just fine, thank you.
Like with Brandon Jennings, it appeared that Williams' might not have been able to academically qualify for a scholarship. Playing overseas is a vastly more lucrative option to playing for a junior college while gaining eligibility.
Williams has already mentioned China as a possible destination.
