Samuell Williamson per Louisville bio

Postby Webmaster » Wed Apr 13, 2022 1:52 pm

Sophomore Year:
Starting forward in 15 games averaged 10.7 points and 10.9 rebounds over the last seven games.
Honored on the 2021 All-ACC Academic team, his second straight year to earn the recognition.
Grabbed double-digit boards in seven games as a sophomore, including five of the last seven. He led the Cardinals in rebounding (8.1 rpg) and ranked third in the ACC. He pulled down six or more rebounds in 14 of his 18 games in 2020-21. His 8.9 rebounding average in conference games was second in the ACC.
Scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds at Duke on Feb. 27 for his fourth double-double of the season.
Totaled career highs of 20 points and 18 rebounds against Georgia Tech on Feb. 1, his third double-double and sixth double-figure scoring effort of the season. He set a Louisville record for most rebounds by a non-starter (previous mark: 16 by Bill Bunton, who had 11 points and 16 rebounds vs. Drake on Feb. 5, 1972). Williamson was the only player in Division I to grab at least 18 rebounds and score at least 20 points off the bench against a Power Five opponent in more than 11 years. The last time a Louisville player had at least 18 rebounds with at least 20 points was Clifford Rozier (20 points/18 rebounds) at Houston on Feb. 21, 1993. Williamson’s 18 rebounds were the most by a Louisville player since Chane Behanan grabbed 18 against Samford on Nov. 15, 2012.
Had 15 points and 11 rebounds at Wake Forest, his second career double-double. He made 3-of-4 three pointers in the game and had not made multiple three-pointers in any of his previous 38 games in a Louisville uniform.
Produced his first career double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds at Pitt on Dec. 22.
Suffered a toe injury in the second half against Seton Hall on Nov. 27 and missed two games. He returned against Wisconsin with seven points and a team-high seven rebounds, playing all 40 minutes of the game.
Totaled career-best totals of 17 points and five assists, while adding six rebounds vs. Evansville in the Cardinals’ opener.

Freshman Year:
Scored in 26 of 31 games for the Cardinals.
Honored on the 2020 All-ACC Academic team.
He scored five or more points in 14 games as a freshman, including eight of the last 14.
One of just 14 players in Louisville history to score as many as 13 points in a freshman career debut, tying for 12th on that list with 13 off the bench at Miami on Nov. 5 in the season opener. He hit 6-of-9 shots from the field, including his lone three-point attempt, and added five rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes.
Was efficient off the bench against Clemson on Jan. 25, shooting 5-of-6 overall, making his lone 3-point attempt and sinking all three of his free throws. His 14 points were his highest total in conference play last season and one shy of his season-high set against Indiana St.
Contributed four points and four rebounds in nine minutes against No. 4 Michigan on Dec. 3.
Scored a career-high 15 points while pulling down five rebounds and dishing out a career-high four assists against Indiana State on Nov. 13. Pulled down a career-high six rebounds against Akron on Nov. 24.
Started against Bellarmine in the Cardinals’ exhibition game on Oct. 29 while Steven Enoch was out with an injury and totaled 17 points and nine rebounds.
His cousin John Levorson played football at Nebraska.
High School:
Averaged 25 points, 11.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists a game as a senior in helping Rockwall High School (30-6) reach the regional semifinals and achieve a No. 8 final ranking in the regular-season Class 6A state poll.
The McDonald’s All-American was a first team all-state selection by the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches 6-A as a senior, a first team All-USA Today Texas Boys Basketball and all-area selection by the Dallas Morning News, and was the Texas District 11-6A MVP.
Ranked No. 15 nationally by 247Sports.com, No. 19 by Rivals.com and No. 24 nationally in the ESPN 100.
Totaled 11 points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal for his West team in the McDonald’s All-America game in Atlanta, one of five players in double figures. He scored eight points and grabbed six rebounds in the Jordan Brand Classic.
Won the three-point competition at the 2019 American Family Insurance High School Slam Dunk & 3-Point championship in Minneapolis on April 5.
As a junior, averaged 23.3 points and 9.7 rebounds in helping Rockwall to a 20-12 record, earning first team Texas Association of Basketball Coaches all-state honors. He scored 21 points as his team reached the area round.
The Dallas Morning News all-metro selection and district player of the year as a junior, he had 20 points and 11 rebounds in a game that decided the district championship in 2018.
Averaged 12.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 20 games while shooting 45.8 percent from the field while playing with his Drive Nation AAU team in the summer of 2018.
Had narrowed his choices to also include Kansas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma before signing with UofL.

Personal:
Born Sept. 7, 2000 ... Son of Sue and Steven Williamson Has two older siblings: Solomon and Sara ... Major is undecided.
Best moment of his athletic career to date was being named a McDonald’s All-American.
Personal goal at UofL is to win.
Enjoys watching movies and taking naps in his spare time.
Chose to attend UofL because of he “felt like it was the best place for me to achieve my goals while playing for a school that expects to compete for national championships year in and year out.”
Most proud of “my journey.”
His mother has had the greatest influence on his athletic career.
If you walked into his dorm room, the first thing you would notice is his jerseys on the wall and his shoes.
Wearing uniform number 10 because “it’s a simple number that looks good on me.”
Best basketball advice given to him was to outwork everybody.
Few people know that he enjoys listening to country music.
Best thing about being a Cardinal is “playing for a school where basketball is everything.”
Best athlete he ever faced was Donovan Mitchell.
Would most like to meet J. Cole.
When playing basketball as a kid, he pretended he was Magic Johnson, Steve Nash and LeBron James.
"Rhett Lashlee not only has the top G5 transfer class, it’s one of the best classes in the country, period.”
–– Chris Vannini, The Athletic

Maybe a change of number would get Nutall out of the slump he experienced this past season?

If KD does not return, give Nutall #3 to remind him what he is supposed to score when he shoots.

Don't know how long he's worn # 10 or whether the number is important to him (or to Nutall for that matter) but coming back to the DFW area gives Williamson a chance to start all over again so why not wear a new number? Good move as he gets to know his new teammates. Team chemistry is always an early challenge for a new coaching staff so this is a positive indication
