Noah Williamson, a 6-11 230 lb center who plays for St. Thomas More, has signed with Bucknell. He is currently doing a post-grad year after having played four years in his native Latvia. He has an American father and Latvian mother.
There is no record of him having received any other offers. He is not on NERR's top 100 list for New England and did not make any level of all-league in the NEPSAC. However, his HS division is likely the toughest in the country. St. Thomas More has been coached for over 40 years by Jere Quinn, whose son Matt was a Bison just before the scholarship era began. Donald Brown was another who did a PG year at More.
There is very little in the way of videos or articles on Williamson. Definitely has the look of a project. Hopefully he can contribute at some point. Having said that, I would have preferred one of the many big men who are in the transfer portal.

Some video from two year ago of Williamson playing for his club team in Latvia:

If the NCAA creates a new division for teams whose rosters include players from all three of Latvia, Canada, and Bulgaria, then you just might see ND cutting down the nets this year.

Not sure what to think from that video package. He certainly needed more size and strength at that point. Makes me curious why a near 7-footer had no offers.

Is that height metric? Usually a 6 11 player stands out a little on the court but I don't see it here. Either that or he is playing against a lot of 6 10 players.

Don’t forget that video was from two years ago. He may have grown since then.
