Le boom hath been levied

quote:

As former prep recruit Willie Williams put it while visiting Auburn in 2004 and being invited to a party by his hostesses: “The girls at the party were much better than the farmer girls we’d see all day around campus. I was kind of worried all Auburn had to offer was those farmer girls that talked funny. But the girls at the party weren’t farmer girls at all. I thought they must have bused them in from Miami.”

So, a recruit was on campus and went to a party that had attractive girls? I think every SEC school gets the death penalty if that's the criteria.

I would imagine that he is the guest of some correctional institution.

The last I heard of him, I think he was at Louisville and got kicked off their team too. I think it was the third team to boot his arse.


ETA - Thank God for farmer girls!

3. Miami 2004
Coach: Larry Coker
Class rank: 4th
Five-star signees: 3 (WR Lance Leggett, G Tyler McMeans, LB Willie Williams)
Buzz: The class forever will be remembered for five-star LB Willie Williams. He arrived in Coral Gables after a well-documented recruitment and with an extensive arrest record, and he did not last long on campus. Five-star WR Lance Leggett had a huge senior year in the Texas private-school ranks but never became a dominant college player. Tyler McMeans was a five-star junior college offensive lineman signee who wasn't the road grader he was expected to be. Four-star QB Kirby Freeman eventually transferred back to his home state to play for Baylor. Other four-star prospects who didn't pan out included DE Rhyan Anderson, LB James Bryant and RBs Andrew Johnson, Charlie Jones and Bobby Washington.



You're right about Louisville
quote:

He lasted just one year with the Canes before transferring to Louisville because he didn't get the chance to start as a true freshman. A conviction on marijuana charges ended that experiment, and later over $18,000 in stolen cash and valuables later ended his dreams of playing in the UFL.

Found this article by Charles Robinson:

quote:

It’s a humble ending to a five-year college career that took him to a handful of schools: Miami (two seasons, one redshirt before transferring), West Los Angeles Community College (one season), Louisville (three games, ending after an arrest for marijuana possession), Division II Glenville State (one semester, before being denied transfer by the NCAA to the West Virginia school), and finally, tiny NAIA school Union College (one season) in Barbourville, Ky.


Jeebus!

Holy shite...dude just got arrested again a couple weeks ago.

quote:

He was once the highest-recruited high school football prospect in America. Now, he's locked up in a Northern Kentucky jail for burglary. Willie Williams played linebacker at the University of Miami and later the University of Louisville. He left both places after being arrested.

Now, Local 12's Joe Webb reports Williams is suspected of at least one burglary and attempting another.

Police say Williams would go door-to-door in upscale neighborhoods. If someone answered the front door, he'd make a sales pitch for a gym membership. If no one answered, he'd go around back. That's what Fort Thomas Police say happened July 1 on Stardust Lane.

Lt. Rich Whitford, Ft. Thomas Police: "She was busy, couldn't get to the door. Thought they'd leave. Minutes later she hears someone crushing in the back door trying to break in the house. She goes downstairs, confronts a gentleman at the back. He has a story and gets spooked when she asks questions and takes off leaving."

A neighbor wrote down a plate number. Within hours, police had connected the car and a suspect to a similar burglary in Fort Mitchell.

"Same M.O. We put two and two together, compare evidence. Exact same guy."

Williams was arrested in Newport. People at the place he was staying said he was a pro football player. He's not. But most say he could have been. Williams was the highest rated linebacker coming out of high school in 2004. He played one year at Miami of Florida before an arrest cost him his scholarship. He ended up at a junior college in Los Angeles where he cleaned up his act for awhile. Long enough to get him a spot on the team at Louisville.

"Gets in trouble there. Gets kicked off the team. Ends up in Newport, Kentucky doing burglaries in Campbell County and Kenton County."

Williams is locked up in the Kenton County Jail for the Fort Mitchell burglary. Attempted burglary charges are pending in Fort Thomas. But he's not just in trouble here.

Chief Jeff Eldridge, Ft. Mitchell Police: "All indication are he's wanted out of Georgia for a probation and parole violation in the state of Georgia as well."

Both police departments say this case might have gone unsolved for awhile, unless a neighbor had not written down the license plate of a suspicious car. They encourage people to call any time they see something suspicious, even if it's minor.

Williams will be back in court next week. He's being held on five-thousand dollar cash bond. Police say he stole jewelry from the home in Fort Mitchell. It has not been recovered.
