2023 Hykeem Williams, 2023 WR (signs w/ Forfeit State)

[Canes Legacy]

Early on the vibe was that he's a momma's boy and wanted to stay close to home. Seemed like a slam dunk to Miami.

Him and Likens had a good relationship from what I gather. And then here comes Gattis

I feel like Hykeem is way more of a projection guy. Innis is possibly the highest floor prospect at the position in quite some time. Hykeem has all of the physical traits you want and COULD develop into a better receiver but I don't think there is anything (maybe jump ball catches?) that Hykeem does better than Innis right this second.

By the same token Hykeem might have the highest ceiling of any WR in South Florida in a very long time.

I like these better.

 

[RealRussellPumps]

He's a better route runner, a better contested catch guy, and has the bigger frame.

I'd say the opposite. The ONLY place Innis outpaces Williams is in the YAC department....but HW is no slouch in that department either. He's a tough kid to bring down in space.

Of course, I'll take either one given how bereft we are of upper level talent at the WR position....but I'm on record as saying I like both HW and Jean over Innis . Just look at how Innis responded to getting double teamed in the championship game and how he got completely taken out of the game. HW has been double teamed pretty much since birth.

I have to disagree on the route running right now. Again Hykeem I think has the higher ceiling because of his athleticism and size but wasn't there a couple of HS coaches on the Hykeem player thread that said he was soft as **** and struggled against press man to the point where he disappeared a few games when pressed?

I remember that being said about Jalen Brown for sure. Not sure about Hykeem.

Innis struggles against press man. This past weekend he got completely shut down. Was pointing fingers after the game too. I'd argue Innis has some softness to his personality.

This is bs man. Man never struggles against press man. He’s by far the toughest player in south Florida.

I feel the same way about HW. It's a matter of preference I guess, but there is no denying he got shut down in the championship game.

4.5 lasered. I'm not sure about his unofficial

Is there really substance here or is this stemming from a strong belief in Mario and the loafers lol?

Zero substance people are just understandably drunk with power

Sometimes all you need in life are Mario and his loafers.

Laser is all that matters

Who was covering him?

Don’t you jump in this thread and act casual. Lol

I'm sure it was Macho who said that Hykeem was a one-trick pony. Had a deep route and not much else.

I've never known Innis to struggle with Press Man. Struggling against the double team, which he absolutely did in the championship game is one thing, but I've yet to see a HS DB go 1 on 1 with Innis and Innis not get his. I like Hykeem a lot as a player as well but Innis is that kid that has literally balled at every level since he was a kid. Even when going against older kids when he was in 8th grade. Might not have the athleticism of Keem but last thing I would call him is soft.

Pretty sure that's who it was. @Coach Macho was that you that gave us that scouting report?

7 catches for 92 yards a TD and a 2 point conversion is shut down?
