Why is Williams Not #1 Safety in ACC?

[bornagaincane]

On3 named James Williams #2 safety in ACC behind R.J. Mickens of Clemson. Why, when last year’s stats show otherwise. James: 31 tackles, 0.5 TFLs, 2 pass breakups, and 2 interceptions. Mickens: 29 tackles, 0.5 TFLs, 2 interceptions, and 0 pass breakups.

I mean it’s ON3 don’t over think this

Their pushing content to high sub fan bases…. Their a business trying to make money

 

[Canes Stan]

Unless JW was missing hella tackles, it’s hard to argue against him being #1

 

[Boarcane]

Just win, the rest will take care of itself.

 

[WestEndZone]

Love JW, but he’s not a complete player… yet.

On3 is

Sometimes they need to add tackles out of bounce, the kid gets a little exuberant at times he’s got to tone that down.

 

[Memnon]

Because he hasn’t played well enough to earn that title yet.

He was a TF last year & had both good & bad moments which is to be expected, but he was not the best Safety in the ACC last year. He’s enumerably talented & can become one of if not the best in the conference, but he’s not there yet as of right now...

If the criteria is strictly based on what they did last year, then that title belongs to Chamarri Conner.

If it’s a projection forward, then it’s up for debate with a number of different candidates.

 

[RangerGranger]

Because Avantae Williams exists!

247 just retroactively dŕopped his recruit ranking by 2*.

Said they just incorporated the algorithm from Inside Ulaanbaatar Gridiron Today in Mongolia.

Kam was our best safety last year lol

Love JW, but he’s not a complete player… yet.

He's better than Mickens

He's better than Mickens

Probably. I don’t know **** about mickens. Just making a general comment about JW. JW takes a leap this off-season and he will be a problem.

We have 3 safeties that are pushing to be the best on this one team lol. Love all three but I don’t think either is head and shoulders above another

Coaching will make a huge difference.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Asking that question about Kam would make more sense.

 

[Jassid82]

Lol. Come on guys. None of our safeties deserve any accolades right now. They are still learning. That said, I expect all 3 to be All-ACC by years end. (Tae, Kam, JW).

 

[MichiCANE]

Who cares

 

[Cane since 1060]

Avante is going to be very special

 

[KrazyCane]

Love JW, but he’s not a complete player… yet.

He’s a sophomore so that goes without saying… but he’s definitely the best safety in the ACC hands down.
