Sounds like 5* safety Brian Williams (RWIII's bro) headed to A&M

Just heard this on a Dallas radio station.

I hate this for a couple reasons—he won't be ours, and he'll be theirs (specifically A&M). I thought he might go to Texas, or somewhere far off like Notre Dame or Stanford.

I was hopeful until Rawleigh's last neck injury and retirement. It's a small thing, but I think there's a difference seeing your brother on the field having big-time success and all the momentum that accompanies that. Since the beginning of this past season, I had my doubts. I actually met Rawleigh's mom in the parking lot of my bank a few months ago. She said that Rawleigh really loved the U of A, but his experience can only go so far (with Brian). Maybe a year from now, Brian will think differently.

There was a tweet from Rawleigh congratulating his brother on committing yesterday. When I didnt see it on HV, I knew it wasnt good news for the Hogs.

Yeah, it's disappointing, but I don't begrudge the kid.  He needs to follow his own path.  He's a good kid from a good family and I will always hold his brother in high regard.  Good luck to him.

It was on here, I believe they moved it to the SEC forum.

He's a good smart kid.  I wish he would of went to ND or Stanford if it wasn't the Razorbacks, but I think he probably wanted to be close to home given the injuries RWIII suffered.   He's always been positive about the Razorbacks and I wish him the best.

Yeah, this is disappointing, but you knew that Jimbo was going to starting getting some good ones.

And I agree with TJ, I always felt like Rawleigh being at Arkansas was the only slim advantage we had, if any. And when he stopped playing, even tho he's still in school, things changed.

I never count any kid in as a signee until they are signed and faxed.

Including "shoo ins" like this one.

Can't fault a guy for wanting to be closer to home. Best of luck to him.
