ESPN does it again

[cxt7]

Now they are going to televise live a recruit named derrick williams choice of college on wed, there add for it says he will bring the college that choses him a national championship. I looked up his numbers and they are not that impressive, he is 6-1 185 lbs 4.4 40, had 1300 yards rushing and 800 passing. and i pulled this out of a article in newspaper "several Washington area players put up numbers this season that rivaled or surpassed Williams's. Of the 47 area players who have recorded 1,000 yards rushing, 22 averaged more yards per carry than Williams. In 13 games, Williams himself had more touchdowns and more total yards as a junior, when Eleanor Roosevelt advanced to the 4A state semifinals."</NITF>

I think maybe the biggest anti-white aspect of all is these services that rate high school football prospects. All the white high school stars at running back, receiver and defensive back suddenly find themselves not heralded as potential recruits, while the black stars at those positions are fought over and end up manning the I-A rosters. And then ESPN and the rest of the media machine goes to work hyping certain ones before they accomplish a damn thing, like this Derrick Williams.

I just have a hard time with espn saying he could win the team that he chooses a national championship when he can't even help his high school team win astate championship....and in high school he would make a bigger impact because heplayed qb/rb/wr, while in college I have read that he is being recruitedonly asa wr.ESPN is just trying to overhype him, they feel he can be a gamebreaker like vick. If they are going to do something like this why not consider jake christensen, a qb from il, has won 2 state championships in a row and He threw for 3,800 yards and 33 touchdowns and was intercepted just seven times. He also rushed for close to 400 yards, also has nfl blood his father played in the nfl. This guy could help win a major school a national championship.

To williams credit one man doesn't make a team and he can't play every
position at once so it doesn't matter if he is qb/wr/rb. but his
comment is like putting a target right on his back. kinda like the
fella from NC States basketball squad who says he is the man. lol what
a moron, thats just asking for people to try even harder against you
and make you look bad.



Williams plays in maryland 4A football which is pretty tough, but not
as tough as 3a ball in md. In 98,99,00,01 a majority white team(urbana
high school) set a state record 4 championship wins. when i say
majority white i mean like maybe 2 black guys on the team, if that. the
qb was zack mills, who is lucky enough to play for pennstate(not really
lucky, they suck). anyway kinda a digression, but i found it
interesting that maryland is 30 percent black and for 4 years in a row
an all white team kicked ass, even though blacks are supposed to be
better athletes.

Williams signed with Penn State and it made the front page of the sports section here in Pittsburgh:

There was a white high school kid right in this area, Carmen Connolly, who had the fifth highest number of receptions for a season in U.S. high school history, but there is no I-A recruiting interest in him.
