Now that Tim Floyd has departed from Los Angeles and USC men's basketball continues to devolve (can AD Mike Garrett be far behind in packing up or do the Trojan boosters who count still only focus on football?), Nevada fans are pining for one Derrick Williams to come north.
With absolutely no insider information or possibly even insight (as many of our relatives and some feedback providers here will attest), we see this as a pipe dream. PAC-10 commits just don't come 'down' to the WAC, especially so when a number of high majors will be among his new suitors. We can hear it now but Hot Hand Luke's 'return' from the Big 10 was an anomaly -- a special case, special kid, special circumstances.
Chris Murray has been performing due diligence on this subject and has this report:

As I noted in this blog earlier today, the departure of Tim Floyd from Southern Cal will likely lead to the loss of recruit Derrick Williams. I also threw out the possibility that Nevada might be a landing spot for Williams given that he took a recruiting visit to Nevada during the fall. After e-mailing with somebody who has recently spoken with Williams, I wouldn't bank on him wearing the silver and blue next season...

Pipe dream? Maybe, but Nevada will be on top of him until he tells them to go away, and based on his comments in the most recent article on silverandbluesports.com, I'm still willing to hold onto that dream.
