WTF, he was putting up huge numbers at 'Cuse.

For those around WNY, you'll remember he was a star at Riverside HS

I plan on talking to his HS coach within the next day and see if I can find out some inside info, and get some good insight for a peice.

Great player, troubled person right now.

I thought this was going to be about the Redskins's tackle.

Saw the 'cuse player a few times and he seemed pretty good. Damn shame he quit.

Wow, I thought he was looking like a possible first day draft pick. Is there a link? What's going on with him?

I saw him play vs. South Florida at the dome this year, he made some great catches but also dropped one or two.

Two guesses...

1. His academics were going to get him suspended anyways. He missed all of last year with academic issues and his grades may again have failed him. So instead of being suspended again he just quit to concentrate on the draft.

2. He was suspended by Doug Marrone for the Akron game for a violation of team rules. Maybe its a more deep seated issue?

None of the people I know have any insight.

Draft Status why this will hurt him but he'll still be an NFL pick (likely top 4 rounds) as long as the quitting didnt have anything to do with drugs.

I agree with DB, there's more to it.

Talent wise, hes got ability. How far he will drop if at all? Who knows.

Maybe he wants to tour Tibet high as a kite like Ricky.

Ha he tried to come back, was barely voted back on by his teammates then he quit again and the latest is his family is trying their damndest to get him back in. There is more to the story. Williams, Tiller, Bailey were in a car accident early sunday morning around 5:30am apparently coming from a casino.

He tried to come back again this time and his teammates said yes (barely) and then he quit again?

Who is reporting this?

Insiders and they have been right from everything from getting recruits to when the Melo Center was going to be built etc.

That's what I figured. Nothing so far on most of the trusted news sites. Should be still a few days until the whole story is out.

I would think the grades issue was it. If he had academic problems before, Riverside HS is one of the worst HS in Buffalo.

It becoming clearer that this was much more than just grades related. If Insiders are whispering then its something else. Im beginning to think it has something to do with why he was suspended v. Akron.
