The 5-11 guard didn't do a ton with Kansas this past season. In 34 games -- with three starts -- Coit Jr. averaged 5.1 points in just over 15 minutes of action each game. But prior to his Kansas year, Coit Jr. was a prolific scorer at Northern Illinois. In 2022, he averaged 15.5 points and in 2023-23, his last year there, he averaged 20.8 points while shooting nearly 34% from 3.
Coit Jr. is now the fourth transfer Williams has landed. He is joined by Texas A&M transfers Pharrel Payne and Solomon Washington, and former Indiana Hoosiers, Myles Rice. Williams will continue to look at the portal to add more pieces.
