Williams visited Penn last year.
Penn also offered Nick Coval.

I watched their video on Youtube. Williams didn't look at all ready for the NCAAs. His competition did not look tall or elite. If that is in any way discouraging, you should realize that I was watching his 8th grade video. 
Nick Coval had recent video and was very very impressive. He appears to be a pretty complete PG. Sign him up!

I can chime in to say that both of these kids would be quality gets for Penn. Neither are out of the realm of possibility, for sure. Coval's dad is Scott Coval, longtime coach at DeSales. Williams has a ton of upside and can really shoot it. Neither are "studs" to the point where they're going to immediately get recruited by dozens of high-majors, but both can play.

To be fair, he told that to Joseph Santoliquito, one of my writers.

OK, I looked at the videos on Caleb. He looks like someone we could use and I'm willing to give him an official offer.
If his parents are still checking the boards, I am wishing success to all of the Williams kids.

This point has been discussed endlessly in every other form and fashion, but it really is remarkable the degree to which Penn is now recruiting against Dartmouth, Brown and Columbia rather than Harvard and Yale.
We probably won’t be able to get a sense of whether that’s good or not unless we give it another 7 years, but I’ll predict it’s yet another harbinger of the program’s continuing decline.

As long as the admission rate is 5% and Penn Medicine and Wharton are bringing in revenue that has the University swimming in money, I don't believe the administration has any problem with a basketball team that isn't a power.
We (i.e. the Penn basketball fans of an era when it mattered) are the dead.

Well, if we’re going head to head with them, we had better be winning those battles. For a while, Penn and Princeton seemed to be kind of out there doing something different from the rest of the league in terms of recruiting, so there wasn’t that much overlap.

Princeton is definitely doing something different. I do not think it’s fair to say that Penn is or was.

I just mean that we tend to be involved with different kids than everyone else. That’s been true for most of Donahue’s tenure.

The footprints that the staff leaves that are accessible by most of us are so limited that it is difficult to get a grasp of what they are actually doing in terms of recruiting efforts. Alternatively, it allows speculation that they aren’t doing nearly enough.
