5) NBA Draft
Before entering the portal, Darrion Williams declared for the NBA Draft, keeping that option open.

Keep an eye on Williams committing to a team, while also leaving the door open to test draft waters.

1) Tennessee Volunteers
Tennessee has been scratching at the surface of a Final Four appearance over the last few seasons. Although they haven’t made the run that Rick Barnes promised for his squad, snagging a player of Darrion Williams's caliber could help them get over the jump. If the Volunteers open up the checkbook to persuade Williams from entering the NBA Draft, the fit could be perfect for both sides.
2) Texas Tech Red Raiders
Darrion Williams co-star JT Toppin has already announced his return to Texas Tech for another season, which could help entice Williams to rethink his options. If he returns, the Red Raiders would be a top contender to compete for a national championship next season. Assuming this may be a leverage play or to consider his options, I wouldn’t rule out a return to Texas Tech.
3) Auburn Tigers
Auburn was knocking on the door of a National Championship appearance this season, and they could be one piece away from finally breaking down the wall. Bruce Pearl has proven he’s not afraid to spend the money, and if he could find a way to land Darrion Williams, the Tigers would be the real deal. Suiting up in the SEC under a head coach like Pearl could be a strong selling point.
4) UCLA Bruins
UCLA has made multiple impressive moves already through the start of the transfer portal cycle. With Darrion Williams being a California native, returning closer to his roots for a final season could be enticing. Especially with the contending roster the Bruins have put together.
