Even though Roundtree and Williams never played with or against each other in the Missouri Community College Athletic Conference, the duo were both recruited by assistant coach Kyle Gerdeman.
Roundtree played for Mineral Area College, while Williams took the court for Moberly Area Community College.
“Coach Gerdeman had been at Moberly Area Community College as an assistant and head coach,” CMU head coach Keno Davis said. “He had also been at Mineral Area College, so that helped us. Having a coach with that background helped get us behind the scenes to find out the players we really want.
