Doesn't look like JWIII will be announcing anytime soon. His mom says the timeline is to decide by the end of the month, and Michigan State may be a strong contender now that Caleb Swanigan decommited.
Here's the article, from mlive.com who covers Michigan State:
"EAST LANSING -- Michigan State has lost a commitment from its top prospect for 2015, but is still in the running for the services of one of the top transfers in the market.
Missouri transfer Johnathan Williams III is still considering Michigan State as a possible destination for next season, his mother Barbara told MLive on Friday.
Barbara Williams said Spartans assistant Dane Fife called her on Thursday and to talk about her son and to say that Michigan State is still interested in his services. Williams is hoping to schedule a visit to East Lansing in the coming weeks, she said.
Gonzaga, Georgetown and SMU are Williams' other three finalists. Barbara Williams said Johnathan hopes to make a decision by the end of the month.
Williams, a 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward who averaged a team-high 11.9 points and 7.3 rebounds per game last year, announced in April that he wouldn't return to Missouri for his junior season. He said shortly after that he was interested in potentially transferring to Michigan State.
He would likely have to sit out next season, per NCAA rules, and then would have two remaining seasons of eligibility.
Michigan State had a scholarship spot open on Thursday when five-star forward commit Caleb Swanigan decommitted from the program. It was previously at the full allotment of 13 scholarships for next year."
