In the wake of Coach Johnson's departure to Fairfield, Tiger recruit Clay Wilson has announced he is decommiting from Princeton and will possibly not head to New Jersey this fall.
This change of plans leaves the Tigers' 2011 recruiting class at three members. With acceptance letters already mailed, it may be too late to replace Wilson.
For a piece I will most likely now need to scrap updating the senior seasons of each Princeton recruit, Lincoln Christian School head coach Teddy Owens wrote last week:
Clay had a great senior season, averaging 26.5 points a game, leading the team in rebounding with 6.6 rebounds a game and leading the team in assists at just over five a game. He had three games where he scored over 40 points and two of those games were against really good teams. He had 47 against Mounds High the first game of the year, 42 vs. Cascia Hall which is one of the best basketball schools in the state, and 42 against class 6A Union. The thing that impressed me the most about Clay is how he got his teammates, who had very little Varsity experience, the ball in the right spots. He will be a great addition to Princeton and I look forward to seeing him help Princeton win in the NCAA tournament next year.
