One of the best sleeper prospects in Arizona’s 2016 class is officially off the recruiting board as 6-foot, 180-pound senior point guard Kendrick Williams (pictired left) of Dobson (Mesa) HS, and a member of the Arizona Aces aau/club program has officially signed with head coach Steve Silsby and his basketball staff at Chandler-Gilbert Community College.
