You can make power moves when you got hand. If Richt did this, then he's got hand. He wouldn't put the peoples' elbow on Williams unless he felt like he's got better guys lined up. Notice how he didn't do that with Byrd even though Byrd is insisting on going to Tennessee.
Let's be honest. Williams is a dyck for taking that UT trip. UM took him off the scrap heap when no one knew who he was. Now, a few days after committing and being asked to shut it down he's out there pimping himself.
I don't blame him for taking the trip so he can make the best decision for himself.HOWEVER,he should have not commited to us at that time if he was going to take that visit the following week.Had he taken the visit,made his decision,and then commited he could have saved himself some grief if this information is true.It's his future at stake,not ours.
Take all the trips you want. As long as you accept the risk that the team you committed to a few days earlier and that asked you not to go pimping it up with another program needs to protect itself.
Richt ain't no freshmans in the game, and he's not gonna get played. He might wind up playing himself, but he's not gonna let some punk kid play him.
Exactly this and you previous post.
Richt is a seasoned SEC vet - I hate the SEC as much as the next guy, but their recruiting is absolutely cutthroat. If it's played out as the rumours suggest and they've pulled his scholarship it's because they have someone better lined up and Williams ignored their requests to not go on the Tennessee visit. He's not playing the hat game with a 2 star player they dragged up from obscurity a fortnight ago.
So far I've been incredibly impressed with how Richt has salvaged this recruiting class in such a short time. I'm not going to criticise him until the evidence suggests otherwise.
