He needs to be at 100%. Running isn't cutting

Justin Hunter agrees with this post.

I've never personally dealt with it, but have been around a few who have. The common theme was trying to forget about the injury, have confidence cutting, and pushing off that repaired knee. IMO, it's a mental thing after it's healed up.

If he is running at that kind of pace and is in great shape than his cutting ability shouldn't be too far behind. I just hope he continues to get better because it doesn't sound like he is considering a RS year.

He was adamant on twitter that he would not redshirt. We'll see.

If he is 100% by Sept/Oct, burn the red shirt. Even if we did red shirt him, if he produces like his star ranking (BIG IF), he likely leaves early for the draft anyways (again, BIG IF). If not, we still have him 3 1/2 years. Seriously doubt he red shirts. Jmo

He will not red-shirt imo.

He will be what this WR unit needs. I see him getting quite a few reps. And it will help North and Pig more than anyone. Maybe, Malone will step up too.

Josh Smith is going to bring it. Lots to look forward to.

The only way that Preston Williams redshirts is if he re- injures himself before the start of the season. I will not say that he starts with game 1, but he will see as many snaps as the starters until he adjusts to the speed of the game.

What Williams gives us is a receiver that can not only run, but runs crisp routes. His insertion in the lineup makes things dramatically better for Josh Smith, Marques North, Pig Howard and the rest of the receiver corp. If Josh Malone begins to show the ability we all know he has, this could be a scary receiving corp.

Imagine how fast they will be in Nike. Under 60 seconds easy. I kid but that is very impressive and glad to have high level speed back at UT.

Investigation is still ongoing. VQ and 247 continue to be very optimistic about him returning and being ready for the fall. If we don't hear anything conclusive in a couple more weeks; however, I will begin to worry a little bit.

I think Butch realized how physical practice was last year and is going to tone the physicality down a little this year.

Lot of players got injured and played through it

So basically like all the players before them? I agree the physicality could use some tweaking but most players play through one injury or another. This isn't baseball lol..

This team won't need as much nonsense. Butch had to build the toughness up mentally. We've got to take care of players this year. Like Hurd in the Spring.
