re: ESPN: "UT has chance to build Louisiana pipeline"

Project, I'll repeat what I said earlier: I strongly believe that if Williams was all LSU coming out of the gate, LSU not only would have taken him, but would have with enthusiasm.

But Williams' attitude toward LSU helped mold LSU's attitude towards him.

To me, he's a very similar player to Patterson from Winnfield. I don't think LSU has any regrets taking him because he was all LSU and is a kid who will play, like they say, for the name on the chest more than the name on the back.

Bottom line: I think LSU decided Williams wasn't worth the effort he seemed to demand. Which is different from him not bbeing good enough to get an LSU scholarship.

I think Noel Ellis is the same way. Is he good enough to play for LSU? Probably. Is he good enough to be treated like the priority recruit his dad seemed to think he was? Hellz no.
