Lathrup's Williams commits to play at Toledo in 2013

Southfield-Lathrup star point guard Jon-Jon Williams might still have one more year of high school eligibility left, but he already has his future planned out at the next level. Williams announced late on Sunday night that he will be playing at the University of Toledo in 2013.

Over the course of the past few months, Williams had received a handful of offers from the MAC conference, including Western Michigan and Eastern Michigan according to Scout.com. Williams, who will run things for a Southfield-Lathrup team that many expect to be strong contenders in the state next year, averaged over 26 points per game last season to go with six rebounds, five assists and three steals per contest as well.

Williams proved to be just as dominant of a force as anyone in the state last year as he poured in 30 or more points in 10 different games and showed he can be just as good of a distributor as he tallied several double-doubles last year.

Toledo and head coach Tod Kowalczyk are getting an absolute steal with the commitment of Williams who was one of, if not the best perimeter player in Oakland County as a junior and is only going to get better by the time he steps on campus. Williams was also rumored to have been considering rising Horizon League contender Detroit-Mercy and had received interest from Oakland University.

Williams is the first of the top two prep hoopsters from the county to commit for next year as Troy’s James Young continues to have offers pouring in from everywhere.
