Interesting quote from D'haquille Williams:
quote:

“They are still in the running, but they aren’t showing me much interest,” Williams said of LSU. “They think they will just come in at the end and I will commit. But it doesn’t work like that. It’s a business. When I mean business, you have to work your way in with that player and get to know him and his family and his friends. They haven’t done that yet.”
And then his comments regarding other schools in the running:
quote:

On Auburn -- “That will be one of my official visit schools. Their coaching staff is good and I liked the environment and the way they treated me when I was at their spring game. They treat you like you are one of them.”

On Texas -- “I have been talking to (assistant coach Bo) Davis. He will tell you what’s real and what’s right from wrong. I like Texas and I wouldn’t mind playing under Mack Brown.”

On Texas A&M -- “They have a great school and they are very good. I wouldn’t mind playing at Texas A&M. One of my high school teammates (Floyd Raven) is there. Plus, they have a Heisman Trophy winner (Johnny Manziel) at quarterback, so I know he would find a way to get me the ball.”

On Alabama -- “Alabama offered, but it’s a run school. They have four or five running backs and then when they do throw the ball they throw it to one receiver.”
Looks like we're in good shape

Was that in the free article about him able to go to the NFL if he wanted?

I'm tweaking my top 5 and putting Auburn in instead of Georgia.

Not sure about the rest but the LSU part was a quote from him 2 or 3 weeks before he got their offer so I am not sure that still holds water.

It's a new quote.

Harding tweeted something like "Josh is gonna look suave in an Auburn uniform." Is he talking about Frazier?

It's a pretty good bet. I am sure they met each other while being recruited by Arky last year.

You are right. That's what I get for not reading the quote completely though.

Dhaquille Williams has a good grasp on the situation at each school. He's playing this exactly like he should. Good for him.

How good is Coach Craig? Right now, DC is #1 in the 247 Coach Recruiter rankings. He has 74.58 points. Last year that would have been #9, but that was at the END of the year. There are still 8 months left until NSD 2014. A few more commits and he might hold onto #1.

Per TideNation.com: Rashaan Evans camped at Bama Saturday. He now says he wants to commit during his senior season instead of the by the end of Summer as he previously planned. Final five are Auburn, Bama, UCLA, Tennessee and UGA.

Another note. Per KN: from the 2015 class the #1 5* LB Jeff Holland, #1 CB Kevin Toliver II (LSU commit), and 4* OG/DT Kendrick Norton have all confirmed they will visit Auburn tomorrow. They are from the same High School.

JMO but not how I see it. To me he is saying that LSU should not assume that DW is theirs just because he grew up an LSU fan. They should actually recruit him like every other school and show that they care about him and his family. I would say the same thing if Auburn offered me but was not caring to get to know me and my family.
