Ryan Williams Update

Yeah but reading Bama Boards etc I think last weekend changed that. I bet he ends up at Bama. Bond leaving opened up playing time and think he would kill in that offense.

Wish he would have at least came here for 1 visit . He went to A$M to visit. But got a feeling he and KJ end up at Bama. SEC recruiting gotta love it!

Not so sure about that KJ statement. Sark remains the reason why he chose Texas and that hasn’t changed.

Furthermore, DeBoer’s young QB just followed from Washington to Tuscaloosa so it’s not a better QB situation for him somehow. 

It's a shame, but not really unexpected. WR is pretty loaded and he could see the field much sooner at Auburn. We already had 4 guys commit and sign with Texas, plus 3 from the portal. I'm assuming Auburn and Bama have been putting the pressure on him.

Best of luck to the kid and hope he finds a good fit.

Would have been found money.  I believe the recruitment became a lot harder for us once he reclassified to 2024.  We signed a lot of wide receivers out of high school and in the portal this year.
 

Auburn and Alabama offer him quicker paths to play, plus the heavy in-state pressure.

I think if he was '25, we would've had a better chance. But it's not like if he goes to Auburn there isn't a loaded WR room there. Don't they already have 2 other 5 star WR's committed and got some guys through the portal? Only problem is, their QB situation isn't so great. 

I think the writing was on the wall with this one. He was never coming here with the starting depth we have now. Better question is how does this impact KJ?

KJ is a Texas commit.  He was trying to get Williams to visit and see what Texas has to offer.  End of story for now .

They would have played together for one year at most.

Wish he’d reclassify back to 2025. WR room is stacked for now and he’d likely have to redshirt anyway. 

Ya win some…ya lose some. 🤘

The reports that Williams was texting with Arch before he cancelled his visit are they true you think? If so, is the bloom starting to come off that rose a little bit?  Do you think Arch told him to do what we needs to do try out Alabama or Auburn and if it doesn't work out come to Texas next year? Both? 🤘

I think the pressure to stay in state and closer to home is too great. 

Some kids aren't meant to be a Longhorn!
