'22 GA RB Justin Williams (Cal)

[RDU VOL#14]

I seen an article that he flipped to cal. Wasn't sure if anyone else had seen that.

Cal Lands Tennessee 4* RB Justin Williams-Thomas from the Portal

Cal might be the current worst Power 5 program.

He may have been informed or realized he would have a difficult time getting admitted into Stanford due to academic requirements and did not want to chance it. Smart kid but the process can be strenuous.

I would think Cal is pretty tough to get into also.

Vandy doesn’t exist anymore?

Vandy doesn’t exist anymore?

Currently Cal is really, really bad. Vandy almost went to a bowl. But yes, Vandy is usually the worst P5 job.

Vandy won 1 more game than Cal this season. Over the last 3 (prob a fair “current” indicator), Cal is 10-18 while Vandy is 5-28

Berkeley wouldn’t be a bad place to live if you’re getting your housing paid for. Good luck to him.

It’s a great school but a terrible place to live. My son goes there. Tons of homeless walking around outside campus and on campus, even sleeping on benches on campus. Lots of crime in town around campus and the political views and events are annoying and mostly anti Christian and definitely anti Republican

It is. It’s rated the #1 public school in the world by several publications. They have dedicated reserved parking spots for Noble prize winners, 😂

Cal is a phenomenal school but it still trails Stanford in correlation to difficulty of admission. Stanford has an acceptance rate around 3% whereas Cal around 12-14%.

Cal also has the ability to bend the standards for athletes more so than Stanford. Again, Cal is a top school well above the thresholds most people would be considered for.

A Stanford site said he got admitted into Standford; however, he decided to go to Cal.

On his Instagram he said "Business decision".

this just isn’t accurate. If he had a respectable ACT score that matched up to his high hs gpa, and he had an excellent gpa from his one year at UT, and the football coach wanted him on scholarship then it would be no problem getting him in. Must meet those 3 “ifs” or it would be hard to transfer in.

Cal is a state school whereas Stanford is private. Explain how Cal has more admissions flexibility than Stanford? Do you really think all those players at Stanford were national merit scholars when they were finishing top 10? Stanford let’s in whoever they decide - same with Harvard and the other Ivy League schools

Since you have first hand knowledge of the situation please enlighten us or reread my post. I said “may” have had issues or something arise.

Anyone that has an elementary level understanding of recruiting knows Stanford offer is dependent on admission to school.

Doesn’t surprise me. Wasn’t he planning to be a doctor?

The admission of recruited athletes to Stanford, the Ivy’s and service academies is misunderstood by the masses - elementary and higher

You guys are talking about normal students not athletes. They don’t admit it but the standards are different for athletes.
