Incorrect. He skipped one season of AAU basketball after he'd already committed to Butler.

quote:

He would soon have profiles on recruiting websites in both tennis and basketball. Gordon III verbally committed to Butler for basketball during his junior year, but skipped AAU basketball during the following summer because he wanted to put in enough tennis practice to contend for a state high school title in his senior year. He had a 26–3 record in singles that year, but lost in the state tournament and has not played tennis, even recreationally, since then

Brian Williams at UT didn't start playing baketball until his Junior year in highschool.
