Kevin WIlliams interview

Dude is not a starter. The only reason he's getting playing time at MSU is because of how incredibly thin they are on the DL. Go take a look at the MSU 247 board. They think Malik McDowell is solid and the rest of their DL is horrible, including KW. We're not missing anything with him transferring.

Odd you'd make that claim. He's listed as the starter on the MSU official webpage.

I believe the point beng made it that he would NOT be a starter at NU (obviously he is a starter at MSU). It actually is a good thing to lose a player that is not a starter and doesn't want to be here - it's called team.

They forgot that they have to be hyper precise with every statement.

My point is that he is not starter quality.

In case you doubt it, here is what the MSU 247 writer said about KW after going up against a freshman dominated FCS line in the first game:

Kevin Williams, the allegedly Big 10 starting quality DT from Nebraska, was repeatedly turned and made a non-factor

We're not worse off for him transferring.

So he's not starter quality at the unranked team, but starter quality for the #12 ranked team. Got it.

LOL

Yeah, preseason rankings are worth so much.

[SIZE=medium]It happens. In 2014 Aaron Green was a starter for #3 TCU but wouldn’t have been the starter for unranked Nebraska.[/SIZE]

 

[1989husker!]

the only team for sure team that Kevin Williams was going to start for was the South Beach Cowboys in the annual G@y Parade softball tournament.

 

[Count 'Bility]

its cool. He'd a been a starter here too. He had his little Pelini Pity party and left. And that's fine. His heart wasnt here. His prerogative. Good for him. More importantly, good for us.

Huh?

he woulda been a starter this year. Which leads me to thinking he wasnt happy here for other reasons. I note it as a pelini pity party. Understandable. So he leaves and goes elsewhere and becomes a starter. Yipty doo. good for him. How good for us? Well, if his heart isnt in it, it's best he's not here. Good for him. good for us

did I almost retype exactly word for word what I already posted in order for you to understand what I posted?

It's never a good thing to lose a player who would have started at a position of need.

His departure has created sense of urgency to get development out of players like Stoltenberg and the Davis twins. Urgency that may not have been as high with williams still here. Urgency that forces a guy like Maurice-who really wants to be here-to be the leader needed.

Hate to break it to you, but regardless of circumstance, sometimes a departure is a good thing.

DeAngelo Evans was a phenomenal talent too. But that team got better after he left.

EDIT * Sorry guys, I was just informed that the cowboys won't be going by that name this year. Something about the moniker cowboy sounding to white male dominated I guess?
Instead Kevin Williams will be the STARTING Catcher for the "South Beach, I like it down south Cheese Dix" I guess the Winn Dixie down on Collins ave sponsored the team this year.

WTF

I don't normally listen to tom and dirk's write ups about individual player performance. I'm even less inclined to care about a recruitnik fake journalist's assessments. OL and DL are some of the hardest positions to evaluate from TV coverage. Without endzone views and a play sheet, it's almost impossible to know what responsibilities should be executed and whether they were successful.

So, let's look at the stats sheet. The way that the recruitnik wrote it, you'd think that MSU had been gashes on the ground.

In reality? They ran for 87 yards on 33 carries, with a long of 14 yards.

Their 170 pound true freshman RB ran for 83 yards on 20 carries (4.2 yard per carry) behind an offensive line that featured 4 freshman. If that is not concerning to you, so be it, but the MSU board was in a panic about their DL.

 

[HuskerExpat]

And for further reference, while MSU held Furman to 87 yards rushing, The Citadel held Furman to 70 yards rushing. So there's that.

 

[cm husker]

Sounds like MSU is a sh**ty team that we shouldn't try to emulate...
