(Rochester D&C) Syracuse wide receiver Mike Williams unexpectedly quits team. He probably realized that the QB, former Duke point guard Greg Paulus, sucks
If he thinks he's secured his draft status by tying Marvin Harrison for second on the school's all-time list I'm pretty sure quitting on his team with four games remaining will trump that accomplishment.
Theguybehindtheguy:After the last two ginormous busts, methinks NFL evaluators will be a little weary with anyone named Mike Williams.
I'd take a flyer on this kid. I've watched him play. As long as he isn't a total head case he's going to be pretty decent. I don't know if I'd ever use a first rounder on a WR though. I would use a 2nd if there was a great prospect and a need. I don't think he's fast enough to be considered a great prospect though. I would defintely use a third on a good prospect. If he isn't a head case I'd consider him a good prospect. I'd use a a 4th rounder on him even if he was a head case.
seriously, what was the point of bringing paulus in? he was never going to be good. and it is even more pointless to keep him playing on a team that sucks.
unclejimbo827:Really? Really? This is all you need for a greenlight nowadays, "Hurf durr DUOOK SUX"? Who farking cares about Syracuse?
Yes an article about the 7th ranked WR in the country, who is all but guaranteed a 1st Rd draft pick, leaving his team is something that some college football fans care about.
I'm amazed that a lot of Duke fans still rip Paulus after all the big 3's he hit. Sure, he never lived up to his high school ranking, but he wasn't that bad.
It's too bad there isn't a video of Paulus and Scheyer falling backwards after 3-point shots.
Per the Rochester Sports radio Williams and 3 buddies (all of whom were suspended for 1 game today) got into an auto accident on their way home from Turning Stone Casino early Sunday morning. Williams supposedly posted that he hated college on his Facebook page, then resigned from the team. The trip to the Casino was a violation of team rules, that's why the other 3 were suspended. Williams might have gotten a heavier punishment as he's already been suspended once this season, and he was out all last season for grades.
/All rumor, got no linkies to prove any of this, just reporting what I heard in the car on my way home today. //Makes me sad that I've got tix to the SU-Rutgers game later this month.
Local news confirms what snuffybud says. They got rear ended and it was the other driver's fault. The indian casino was a big no-no as far as the team goes so they were in trouble regardless.
Doogled:moistD: as a Duke basketball fan, yes, Greg Paulus does suck.
/someone please link the youtube video of him flopping

I'm just upset that Luol Deng left after his freshmen year and that made Shaun Livingston never arrive. He probably would not have blown out his knee and they would have won the next year.
/how they lost that final four is beyond me, Duhon carried that team with a broken rib.

Because when it comes to quitting on your team and renegging on your comittment, Richrod is the expert.

That's how everyone will see him now. Well hey, maybe the Bucs can get a cheap WR now.
