Williams will be at Duke

Despite unfounded rumors to the contrary, Shelden Williams will be a Blue Devil next season. In fact he will begin his college career on July 1 in the second session of summer school.

Williams who was accused of taking part in a sexual assault in late January, however no official charges were ever brought. None the less Williams and several teammates were suspended from school and the basketball team for the remainder of the season. This suspension ended up costing Williams a spot in the McDonalds All American Game as well as many other post season honors.

The Greensboro News and Record spoke with Christoph Guttentag, Duke's director of undergraduate admissions, who said that he had met with Williams and was satisfied with the discussions between the two, which cleared the way for Williams' official clearance into Duke.

Guttentag has informed head coach Mike Krzyzewski of the decision to admit the 6-foot-9, 240 pound power forward.
