2 Rivals Recruiting Analysts Predict Brandon W. To UCLA
Posted Thu, Sep 08 9:01 am (Edited Thu, Sep 08 9:12 am)
We often hear about a “Crystal Ball” prediction, which refers to predictions from analysts on the 247 website. However, Rivals also has some very good analysts and two of them just predicted Brandon Williams will announce for UCLA.

On Tuesday Rob Cassidy (who I think is very good) put out a Rivals “Futurecast” that Brandon was going to sign with the Bruins. Less then 18 hours ago Jackson Collier (who’s relatively new to Rivals) also made a Futurecast … but with a major twist.

Like Cassidy, Collier has Williams becoming a Bruin. The twist is Collier has previously Futurecasted Brandon to St. John’s. In my experience analysts will change their predictions, but are doubly careful not to be wrong twice.

Another interesting twist via Collier, his most recent Futurecast prior to Brandon Williams was September the 9th when he predicted Andrej Stojakovic was going to …. UCLA.

Reviewing all the predictions on Brandon Williams we find the following.

1. Two “Futurecasts” for UCLA on Rivals, one yesterday and the other 2 days ago

2. One “Crystal Ball” to UCLA on 247, made September 4th

3. One 90% to UCLA prediction yesterday, from the up and coming recruiting website On3.com

4. Brandon Will making his announcement on September 19th at 2:30 PM (11:30 AM on Westwood). The location will be Christ The King HS, in the Queens Borough of NYC.

B. Williams would be a great addition to our 23 recruiting. Multiyear player with a lot of growth potential. 11 days away from our class continuing to shape up.

That's been my understanding. Williams/Williams/Stoyakovic for the 2023 class. Plus some late additions for the 2022 class.
You might as well those to the 2023 class.
