Another cautionary tail, recruiting is stupid

Yep, it's the immortal Willie Williams out of south Florida.

This idiot was the most heavily recruited defender in the country coming out of high school about five years ago. Now, he's searching for an indepedent college to play for in his last year of eligibity. Nice!

Ohio State has seen Justin Zwick and Mike D'Andrea as of late. We know how that turned out, as opposed to say, Troy Smith or A.J. Hawk.

Along those same lines, the nation watched how Willie Williams was wined and dined by Florida State, Miami, and the Gators, among other schools. In the end, he selected the hometown 'Canes.

What followed was ascension to third-string LB at Miami, then transfer to an L.A. community college, then transfer to the University of Louisville for a year (before being arrested), then transfer to Glenville State in W.V.

Now he's been declared ineligible to play there by the NCAA and is searching for the lowest of the low as far as college football teams are concerned to play for this season. The only difference between Willie Williams and Maurice Clarett is that Willie has managed to stay out of jail while Maurice has not. It's that simple.

Recruiting is an important aspect of college football. I would caution anyone to put too much stock in ANY single high school football player ever. You just never know how it will turn out.
