<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>W. Williams won't returnBy MANNY NAVARROmnavarro@MiamiHerald.comA day after Willie Williams was denied a transfer to Pearl River Community College in Mississippi, UM coach Larry Coker was asked the burning question: Would he let Williams back on the team?''Well, that's not an option,'' Coker said firmly. ``He's not coming back here. Willie has decided to go in another direction, and we wish him the best.Coker then paused, ``But, you know, if he wants to talk, we'll talk. But that's not the case, and I don't anticipate Willie Williams being a part of this team.''Williams has been unreachable since it was first learned he wanted to transfer. Carol City coach Walt Frazier said late last month that he had not heard from Williams in a long time.''Willie has basically isolated himself from the world,'' Carol City assistant Andre Stafford said. ``Unless you're family, or one of his real close friends, he doesn't talk to you no more.''Voice and text messages left on Williams' cellphone Thursday by The Miami Herald were not returned. Coker gave Williams, the nation's most highly recruited linebacker in 2004, permission last month to seek a transfer in search of more playing time. But Williams, who slipped down the depth chart in the spring, didn't find many takers -- until Monday when Pearl River coach Tim Hatten said Williams had agreed to transfer there.Then, late Wednesday night, Hatten said Williams was no longer headed his way because he ''failed to reach some stipulations,'' even after Coker said he gave Williams a full endorsement.''They called and asked me, if I were at that school would I take Willie Williams?'' Coker said. 'I said, `Without question I would take Willie Williams if I were at that school.' ''Two of Williams' UM teammates, linebacker Jon Beason and quarterback Kyle Wright, have said that although they didn't have anything against Williams personally, he would have to earn his way back on to the team.On Monday, when safety Kenny Phillips heard Williams was transferring to Pearl River, he sounded a bit surprised. Phillips, who won a state title at Carol City with Williams in 2004, said he hadn't spoken with Williams in a while. Same with UM defensive end and former Carol City teammate Eric Moncur.''Everybody wishes he would stay,'' Phillips said. ``But since he's leaving, everybody wishes him the best.''Williams, a redshirt sophomore, still has a scholarship to UM and can attend classes, which begin Aug. 23, if he registers and shows up in time. With classes starting soon around the nation, the likelihood of Williams playing this season is dwindling fast.</div>I don't know if anybody here is following this but I wonder where's he going to go now. First, he wanted to leave UM and now he can't even play for Pearl River Community College. Does anybody know where he might be headed next?
he should of just stayed with the U, but maybe he wanted to leave because he wasen't going to get any playing time but who knows
I have no idea why he wants to transfer. I was looking foward to this guy though, I remember when we first recruited him. It was huge news, he was the most sought after LB that year and we were expecting big things out of him, but then he got injured and was supposedly done for the season. After that I never heard another word about him.
Even with the loss of him, the U still has one of the best defensives in the nation, I think it's going to end up hurting him down the road more then it will hurt MIami
Well, it really doesn't mean much for us anyway, like I said I don't think he's ever even played a game for us...
he hasent played a game for Miami i think they red shirted him his first year or he got suspended or something, i dont really remember
yeah i think thats itbut if miami protects kyle wright this year they could have a good year but their WR's are kind of soft but the Hurricanes defense is very good like always
He transferred because he wanted more playing time and he wasn't going to get any at UM. But right now, I'm thinking it's his loss not UM's....
