2024 Recruiting: 2025 5* WR Ryan Williams commits

[westide]

It's officially over! Signed NLI with bama. Roll tide.

Hallelujah! I can stop holding my breath.

Don’t get me wrong, I am glad the young man signed with Bama, but now, with the way things are and the way kids are, all this means it enters the stage of ‘Portal Watch’.

With all due respect…you, as well as every other person, can absolutely live your life with the attitude of you’re choosing…

…but I'm not gonna live my life afraid of all the bad things that ”could potentially” happen. I’m choosing to thoroughly enjoy the triumphs, without looking over my shoulder waiting for something bad to follow it. Just saying.RTR

Some people see the sunrise, and think, “Arrightttt! I get to do it again!”

Others see the sunrise and think, “Welp, the sun really did come up after all. I hope I don’t die.”

Sorry if you and others interpreted my response as some kind of ‘sky is falling’ mentality. Not the case. I don’t ‘worry’ about a 17-18 year old’s decision that was made on where one plays football. I am glad he made the choice he did. The reality of the drama surrounding RW and the recruitment and then re-recruitment of many others is one of the reasons why Coach Saban walked away from the game. I too dislike this new reality.
I just put together a post formed in truth.
And to the post below yours, I don’t worry about death or dying, or the sun coming up again, because I am confident in and promised of a better life after the one I have here comes to an end. Thanks all.

Let’s be real, Williams transferring out would be worse than death.

SEC: "It just means more."

Bama: "It means everything." - prolly

"I didn’t believe it and I still don't know for certain, but now I have heard it from a source I consider quite reliable. Wide receiver Ryan Williams apparently will get $2 million-plus for signing with Alabama. I doubt Auburn was willing to go that high. Will he be worth it? I don’t believe any high school player is worth that kind of money. It’s perfectly legal, but it’s another sign of just how out of control the whole NIL thing is."

This is Marshall as a jounalist in a nutshell. He is uncertain about his reliable source but has no issues posting this hearsay as if it is true.
the barn and their cult can't get over the fact Williams, a barn legacy would rather play for their arch nemesis than their beloved program. To make them feel better about themselves and soothe their pain, the justification was Alabama had to pay more for Ryan's service.
To make matters worse, Ryan is b2b Mr. Alabama Football, an unprecedented feat esp. considering he received the award as a sophomore and junior!! Their highly prized WRs tandem received no such accolades!! Ouch..

The proof will more than likely be observable. If all of a sudden he and his parents' material lifestyle drastically changes from what it used to be, then it could be true. Granted, some people can be filthy, filthy rich and the only people who know are them, and their lawyers and accountants.

Any comment by ole yella teeth has to be taken with a grain of salt......

Without a doubt, Ryan Williams NIL compensation will be considerable and 2 million (over 3-4) years is realistic (if not an under estimate should be blown up as most expect he will). And Yes auburn would have gone that high.

Never believe the NIL numbers when you hear them. Almost always inaccurate or misreported.

Ryan Williams sat behind us at Saturday's basketball game. My son saw him and recognized him and immediately asked for a picture. He couldn't have been nicer and more gracious. Gave him a hug and posed for a picture. Super nice kid, especially for someone with that kind of hype at only 17.
