James Williams

[Seaofred92]

Great story of scouting and uncovering a guy and development

- Nebraska holds a camp for JUCO and transfer guys

- Williams attends and catches Knighton’s eye

- Staff talks to him offers a PWO spot

- Spends time on scout team, starts to impress

- Gets a chance to play and absolutely shines

Just awesome stuff. That’s a recipe for success. Hope we get more stories like this

As is stated in the other thread, I’m truly happy for the kid and how he sneaked in under the radar. But it’s also hypocritical that most of you slam Sims, HH, and of most of the OL and etc. I’m glad that Rhule and co are identifying talent on the defensive side of the ball since it’s been lacking for a long time. But I feel the media over blows some of these stories, that’s all.

Get him a full year under our S&C program and watch out.

Who knows maybe he will turn into the next super star and become a NFL first round pick and get drafted by the Chicago Bears.

It’s okay to say it’s a pretty cool story and a good thing for our program to be able to identify guys like this without pretending he’s some mega superstar. Try smiling and being happy- its a good thing.

After the last XX number of years, smiling is a GOOD thing on Sundays!

Enjoy each win on the way up….

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy

We need guys like him to work out because it's pretty clear that Blaise Gunnerson isn't. Is that guy hurt again? I haven't noticed him at all lately.

Good for the kid. Put when the defense is generally pretty solid overall, it’s easy for a hard worker that’s less talented to look good. And with a good scheme.
A lot of kids on pelinis defense thrived at this.

Need to find and get some offensive players going

Why do you hate him?

Because I’m a bears fan and need all the help we can get.

I like it when our walk-ons play bc they're good, and not bc our scholarship players suck.
