2014 WR D'haquille Williams De-Commits from LSU

per James Smith -- recruiting analyst for NOLA.com. He has previously worked as a talent evaluator for Elite Scouting and Max Emfinger and has served on the selection committees of various high school All-American games

Williams is gifted and fits into that rare "special" category. In my many years as a scout, Williams is the best high school wideout I've ever laid eyes on, surpassing Sammy Watkins (Clemson) and Amari Cooper (who led Alabama last season with 53 receptions for 895 yards and nine touchdowns as a true freshman).

Size: 6-3, 218 -- big-bodied receiver

Speed/Quickness: one of the more fluid and natural athletes one will see

Route Running: He does a terrific job dropping his hips, planting and exploding out of his breaks. ... his route running is a strength

Running after the catch: extremely productive after the catch

Hands/Ball skills: This is the most impressive part of Williams' game. He is a natural pass-catcher and does a tremendous job tracking the ball in the air. His catch radius is expansive as he has long arms and quick reaction time. He can outleap most defenders for jump balls. All in all, Williams is about as good as it gets in this department.

Body Control: magnificent at contorting his body and remaining under control. ... Whether balls are thrown behind him, too high or the only option was a circus catch, Williams seems to make the improbable look easy.

Blocking: as good as it gets for a wide receiver

'It' Factor: Williams plays with a swagger that is infectious to teammates. His confidence level is extremely high ... Talking is a big part of his game, and he backs it up. Coaches look for guys that "have that dog in them" and Williams certainly does.

What's going on with that?

No April Fools'. He texted the Auburn Rivals admin as well.

 

No need for that. I'm not here to fight with you about it. I was just curious because initially the only source was that tweet from an A&M writer.

 

Well, at least you're not bitter.

 

Who were the two teams that went 0-8 in the SEC last season? Kentucky was one, i forget who the other one was...i think it was one of the teams in the SEC West...
