LaDustin Williams, (SO) 6-foot-1 (165) from Jonesboro, AR, will stay at the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith and play for the Lions two more years and coach Newman. Williams, the #79 ranked player by JucoJunction, averaged 13.6 ppg and 3.5 rebounds this year while shooting 47.5% (165-347) from the floor.
