I would listen to Sam.  He's not playing college basketball next year.

I think those who expect Williams to declare are correct. I think the transfer portal is the least probable outcome. It is a crap shoot that his "next" school will result in a "better" outcome and at best it will cost him a years pay in the NBA. If things don't go well at his "next" school it most probably WOULD affect his draft status in a very negative way. Once is a fluke. Twice is a trend. If he believed things would be lots better for him at Stanford next year (no da Silva, maybe he is the "focus") staying could make some sense, but given that is not what he expects, going pro is the only real option.
