Elite five-star power forward Emmitt Williams from Lehigh Acres, FL announced Friday morning that he has committed to LSU, chosing the Tigers over Oregon, Florida, and Kansas.

Williams, a 6-7, 215-pound prospect from Oak Ridge HS in Orlando is rated the No. 8 power forward in the country and the No. 4 overall player from Florida for the class of 2018, according to 247 Sports.

He joins five-star power forward Naz Reid, four-star point guard Ja'Vonte Smart and four-star power forward Darius Days who have already signed with LSU.

With the addition of Williams, LSU now has the No. 3 class in the country, behind Duke and Oregon, according to the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings.

Can we just go ahead and give WW his extension now and get that out of the way?

Seriously, I’d rather drown with him at this point than wait to see him succeed elsewhere.

LSU doesn't really lose successful coaches to other colleges. As long as Wade is doing well, LSU will keep him happy.

Thank you, #BasedWillWade

And welcome, Emmitt!

If Wade keeps recruiting like this, they may make him pull double duty as football head coach!

When your draft class trails only behind Duke and all the money Nike can throw at a HS kid, it's time to get hype.

Wow, Wade putting together some serious talent!! I think he can coach up these guys, from what I have seen this year. Let's get the PMAC roaring again. I was in school during the Rudy Macklin days (late 70s) and it used to be awesome during the games at home!!

We need to practice packing the pmac this season in preparation for what's coming next season. Don't want to look like a bunch of noobs in there with these complaints I'm seeing on the rant about people telling others in front of them to please sit down .
