Q & A: Class of 2024 wing Caleb Williams discusses Indiana offer – Inside the Hall

Alex Bozich

Class of 2024 Sidwell Friends School (D.C.) and Team Takeover wing Caleb Williams is one of the latest prospects in the rising junior class to receive a scholarship offer from Indiana.

The 6-foot-7 Williams recently spoke to Inside the Hall late last week about his conversations with Indiana, his recruitment taking off and much more.

Our full Q & A is available below:

Indiana just offered you a scholarship. How did that come about and what have you been hearing from IU?

“Kenya Hunter reached out to me and I had talked to him before briefly and then he put me on the phone with the head coach, Mike Woodson, and we just talked about how much they like my game and he ended up offering me (a scholarship).”

You’ve received offers recently from Villanova, Georgetown, Georgia Tech and a couple of others. What’s it been like seeing your recruitment take off this summer and also getting an offer from Indiana?

“The whole recruiting situation, I’ve just been embracing the moment. I watched my two older brothers go through it, so just for it to finally be my turn, it’s a dream come true. The Indiana offer, I know they’re a big-time basketball program. I’ve seen guys like Victor Oladipo and Xavier Johnson, I sort of have a connection with through Team Takeover, perform with Indiana. Just seeing how big of a basketball program they are, it definitely means a lot that they believe in me.”

Why do you feel this summer has been so big for you in terms of receiving a lot of scholarship offers?

“I think this year for me, it was establishing myself as one of the better players in the (D.C.) area, if not the country. I think last year, since we didn’t really have a year due to COVID… my school season got canceled and the ending of AAU for the two week Peach Jam, I got injured right before so I didn’t really get a chance to play in front of coaches. So I think they’re just seeing me now for the first time and I feel like I’ve been performing well to allow them to believe in me.”

Where did your two older brothers play?

“My oldest brother graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and is doing his grad transfer/COVID year at Howard University. And my other brother goes to Gettysburg College.”
