2018 5-star Xavier Williams commits to Alabama

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Anthony Schwartz, American Heritage, Wide Receiver I'll take him over this kid . About the same height , he has game breaking speed than it helps with AH pipeline

I agree and It's time on from X. He'll be another cap casualty in a few years. That's not even hating; if ole buddy can't catch and Bama don't even want him as a WR, and if he still wants to go?? Then I'm fairly certain he'll be a cap casualty in two years.

A kid who has caught only 7 balls in his career you would take? Don't be fooled by the speed. Come on guys.

You can say what you want about Xavier but I find it insane anyone saying they'd take Schwartz over him or Austin or Thornton or even other WRs locally. Getting caught up in the speed game a little too much IMO. There is football players and then there is track kids... and then there is track kids who can play football. Maybe kid blows up this year and puts up insane numbers as a senior but I'm not counting on it from history that shown otherwise. He has a very bright future in track though, I just don't see it in football.

Generally speaking, I agree 100%. I'm not saying take Schwartz over the other kids, but imo, there are track kids and then there are elite track kids. Schwartz is on an Olympian type of trajectory with his times - that is quite different than a Daryl Jones type of track kid. You find room on your roster for kids like that.

But if he doesn't have good hands, and doesn't run decent routes, he's basically worthless. KO returns? Maybe. But I can't think of one elite track guy doing this that wasn't also at least a decent football player. Right now, he's not a football player.

I'll defer to rattler on this one who has said before (from memory) that Schwartz is actually a pretty decent WR with good hands. His production hasn't been great bc or offensive philosophy and play calling (again, as per folks who follow AH).

Exactly!! Until proven otherwise, he is another version of Renaldo Nehemiah.

It's a moot point. Only people who think Schwartz is a take for us is writers. He's not even in the discussion for a football spot.

Yeah, he ain't coming. Based on this interview, it sounds like Bama has a cookout planned for July 21st, same day Paradise Camp starts. We'll see if any of our targets choose to go there vs coming to Paradise.

Shut this thread down, just like his recruitment. Enjoy Alabama. No more comments.

His interview screams bags. He keeps mentioning his relationship with Bama over everything, but they have an entirely new coaching staff.

Also hilarious that his parents seem intent on pushing him to an out of state school that has poor academic ratings.

Funny that he is talking about the new OC and offense and sitting in on WR meetings when they only want him as a DB...

LMAO X Williams, you played yourself!

 

[dfagundo]

Wish him and the rest of the sellouts in TusKKKaloosa nothing but the worst. Have a great time repping the Klan

I'm sorry but keep this ni99a the **** away from our class. SIMPLE!

"Alabama is the only school that meet my parent" NO SHT when they're on their payroll. How the **** would they be able to get the cash and cars Alabama is providing them if they weren't in contact.
