BOUTTE, La. — For some prospects, the early signing period can’t come soon enough.

Such is the case with Louisiana’s most prolific athlete, Pooka Williams. The longtime Kansas commit recently announced his intentions to sign his letter of intent on Dec. 20, the first day of the newly-implemented early signing period.

Of course, with an urgency to sign on the dotted line comes some form of intrigue. The 3-star athlete earned an offer from LSU at the beginning of the fall and has drawn the attention of coach Ed Orgeron. As the pressure mounts on the Tigers to keep Williams in-state, the dynamic Hahnville (La.) High School standout has grown even more confident of where he’ll sign in just more than a month.

“I just want to get the process over with. I want to continue to play Hahnville football and just get to signing day and get it out of the way,” Williams told SEC Country on Friday after amassing 305 yards and scoring 5 touchdowns in his team’s first-round playoff win.

As far as where he’ll sign, the answer is clear — Kansas.

LSU continues to try and cut into the Jayhawks’ lead, but the late offer remains an issue. However, Orgeron’s affinity for Williams paired with area recruiter Mickey Joseph’s touch has the Tigers still in contention.

“I’ll be talking to Coach Mickey now and then. He calls me and we talk,” Williams said. “LSU is still in my top [schools]. Kansas was just loyal to me and I want to be loyal back to them. He [Joseph] tells me to keep it up, keep my grades up and stay the course and that he still wants me bad. He’s told me a couple of times [about Orgeron wanting him] and that means a lot, but like I was saying, they were here then left and then came back when I got my grades together.”

“They’re still in my mind,” he added, “and it’ll be a hard decision on Dec. 20.”
