News broke Tuesday that five-star small forward prospect AJ Williams re-classified from the class of 2028 to 2027. Williams was the No. 1 ranked player from the class of 2028 but will now move to No. 5 in the class of 2027 according to 247 Sports.
Williams recently spoke about the decision.
"I put in the hard work, and felt ready to accelerate the process," he said. "I saw this summer, when I moved up to 17U, that I was ready to play with the 2027's and was one of the best in their class too."
Williams played U17 basketball for Team USA this summer, teaming up with current Duke forward Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje and Beckham Black (a Duke recruit). In seven games for Team USA, Williams averaged 14 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 **** ists while shooting 42.4% from beyond the arc, helping lead Team USA to a gold medal.
Williams was offered by Jon Scheyer and Duke earlier this summer, but has yet to commit to any school. He also has offers from eight other universities including: UConn, North Carolina, Illinois, Georgia, BYU, Auburn, Mississippi State and Georgia Tech.
