West Deptford, NJ (Future150) -- This time last year, South Carolina native Jalen Williams was packing his belongings and getting ready to head to the best prep school in the state of New York, in Our Savior New American.
Just a freshman then, Williams wasn't totally sure what to expect. He was starting by December and proved to be one of the leaders for his team despite being so young.
Fast forward a year, and Our Savior is far more talented and could potentially make some noise on the national level. The program has added five division one talents over the past year and will likely go eight or nine deep this season.
"I think we're really talented and I'm excited about the guys we have added, they are going to make things a lot easier for me and will allow me to focus on setting things up," Williams said of this year's squad.
A cat-quick guard, Williams is still learning how to effectively change speeds. That being said, his speed makes him a terror in the open floor and he makes great passes is transition. He must get stronger and become a knockdown shooter, but he is certainly a division one prospect.
Wake Forest and College of Charleston have been showing interest, while St. John's and Rutgers have been in this Fall for open gyms. The process is really just beginning for Williams, who is focused on this season.
"We were a really young team last year, this year we're very talented, now it's time for us to go win some games,"
