Whether we get him or not, I think this would work out for all parties involved. Tim Williams is a classic redshirt candidate. By the time he puts on the necessary weight to play, he'll be either a RS Fr or a RS Soph. I rather have Keyon Brown fresh out of HS next year. In 2014, a RS Fr Tim Williams will be around 6' 2ish 235ish. At that same point, a True Fr Keyon Brown will likely be around the same. It could put some separation between guys like Mccord/AQM and Chad Thomas/Brown.
I wish Tim Williams well and I think he can be a good LB if things fall in place (weight, position, school) for him. It'll be fine either way. Hope he comes, but there are more important pieces.
