Very good article. I bet Williams is extremely motivated every time he plays a down at Alabama.

From the article:

"[FONT=&quot]While every staff whiffs on the recruiting trail, the recruitment of Tim Williams was more than a common swing-and-miss. Les Miles didn’t even swing. He stood in place while Nick Saban hurled a fastball that left black eyes all over the LSU football program. "

With all of the opportunities that LSU had and blew, I would say that all CNS had to do was toss it underhanded...[/FONT]

Here's to hoping there is another player of Tim's caliber the who's don't want/need in the upcoming recruiting cycle.

If I'm not mistaken, they did the same thing with Eddie Lacy. LSU thought there was no way Eddie could qualify there or Alabama and passed on him. The rest as they say is history!

Coaches don't always 'Connect' with a player when they visit. Years ago Coach Bobby Bowden told a story about visiting a recruit. It seems that while Coach Bowden was talking to the recruits Dad in the living room, Coach Bryant was in the kitchen talking with the recruit and his Mom. FSU MISSED ON THAT ONE... A coach has to say the right thing to the recruit and to their parents. A recruit has to feel like He is wanted and needed when he visits, he has to feel like he fits in with the players. A miss on any of these things and WHIFF, he's gone.

It shows how much more superior Coach Saban is when it comes to evaluation of high school talent..As compared to Les & The Swamp Kittens..All those NC Rings Coach Saban has at Bama if proof positive of that fact..
