I wonder if the visit was cancelled after we got Chaudhri's commit

Williford is more of a guard while Chaudhri is a wing so taking both shouldn't have been too much of a problem. Rosters are expanding to 15 players moving forward as well. Interested to see where else Rougier-Roane is planning to visit although even he is less of a facilitator compared to Williford.

In the end, St. Joe's probably deserved to land him having offered him a year ago. I don't doubt that he's been on GW's radar for some time, but we offered him pretty late in his recruitment (~two months ago). Williford really blew up at DMV live which is why he earned several additional offers only this summer, but usually the staff offers TTO guys early. Being at the end of the visit list increases the chances of this kind of thing happening. I'm glad CC is prioritizing wing depth first with Garrett coming off injury next year and Drumgoole being out of the fold anyways.
