Press Release

DALLAS (SMU) --- Matt Williams and Brian Morris have signed national letters of intent to play basketball at SMU beginning in the fall of 2005, announced Mustangs’ head coach Jimmy Tubbs.

Williams (6-2, 180) is a shooting guard from Trinity Christian Academy in Addison. He averaged 27 points per game as a senior and was named a TAPPS North All-Star. William’s mother, Claire Morris-Williams, and grandfather, Max, also played for SMU. Max Williams was first-team All-Southwest Conference in 1959 and 1960.

“Matt will help our basketball program immensely,” stated Tubbs. “He is a really good shooter who will stretch the opposing defenses. He is also a local player and we really want to recruit locally.”

Morris (6-8, 260) is a power forward from Jefferson High School in Portland, Oregon. He averaged 16 points and 12 rebounds during his senior season in which Jefferson finished third in Oregon’s class 4A state tournament.

“Brian is a banger inside who will also be able to score points,” says Tubbs. “He has great hands and a great feel for the game.”

Williams and Morris join Bamba Fall (7-1, 200) of Oak Hill Academy (Va.) and Dez Willingham (6-0, 180) as newcomers for the 2005-06 season. Willingham is attending Mountain View JC. He played at De Soto High School and played his freshman season at Kansas State.

I guess Bamba signed in the fall.

I well remember Max Williams on the court and sometimes seeing the coaches exasperation with his unexpected ball handling. Nice to see a former players child who evidently can play decide for SMU.

The signing of Fall and Willingham was announced 11/16/04 and the press release can still be seen on smumustangs.com.

Now, do we or don't we have a 'ship left to give?

[Ponymon]

Maybe we have 4 or 5 more scholarships to go, given the number that Bobby Knight has signed for TECH!!!!!!!!!!!

[DallasDiehard]

.... Now, do we or don't we have a 'ship left to give?

Yup. Willingham, Fall, Morris and Williams take up the scholarships formerly held by Simpson, Castro, Isham and Miller. Chris Reay's scholarship remains unfilled.

[Dement-ed]

Did Adam Walker sign anywhere?

[50's PONY]
