I said a long time ago I thought Flemming would end up being the star of this class, and the only to see PT right away. After watching the PTL, i still stand by that. He just has a swagger that I really like. A little like Chris Kingsbury I think.

Thanks.

Playing for that team was also a sign he is a step or two ahead of most kids his age with a plan about his future.

He will lead us after Mike leaves it appears.

I don't won't Williams to redshirt, that is the selfish side of me... Yet I want him that extra year down the road. That is the other selfish side of me. Call it the Gabe Olaseni effect(If we had him this year, we would be top 3 in the B1G, in the preseason).

People say he needs the experience for 2016. But if he plays big Minutes in the preseason , then runs the PG for the scout team the rest of the season, wouldn't that be significant experience?

We have enough backcourt support this year. What say you about CW hanging around for a 5th year?
It isn't hurting Jarrod Uthoff's pro potential, nor his team, too much...

Is pre season non conference games? If so and he plays there is no red shirt available unless there is an injury.

I like that we're seeing a new side of Williams - it apparently took him a bit to get comfortable or find his role, but now we're seeing more of what he's capable of.

Even when players have a legitimate injury during pre -conference games there is no guarantee they will get a red shirt. If a red shirt year is desired it isn't a good idea to play any pre-conference games. I don't know about exhibition games but that is only one or two games so no reason to take a chance on playing those if a red shirt is desired.

I must have confused my redshirt rules. I thought if one competed in less than 20% of the games, in the beginning of the season, they could redshirt. But that maybe the medical redshirt rule...

They may compete in exhibition games and still redshirt. There is no risk.
