I remember hearing Hanagriff on the radio reporting that Tim Williams had committed to Alabama. I had a sinking feeling that the guy was going to be a star player for them, and was perplexed as to why Coach Miles and staff apparently didn't recruit him very hard. At least that's what I remember hearing at the time.

Tim made it clear he was leaving the state from the very beginning, remember he was really close to going to Miami.

He also had a questionable work ethic at the time. He always had an incredibly high ceiling, but wasn't putting in the work to reach it. He spent his freshman year in Saban's doghouse because of this. The light finally came on for him last year and he's turning into the player he was always capable of being. Just sucks it's at Bama, though I'm not sure he would have done as well here without leaving the negative influences behind.
