To HELL WITH SCHOOL PRIDE-IT IS ALL ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL……
Caleb Williams family are control freaks that ignore school and college game for personal individual goals…….IT IS ALL ABOUT CALEB…….
Father says: “Professional development. We want Caleb to be ready to play when he becomes a pro. You go to college to get prepared for your career. His chosen career path is professional football. We want him to be prepared for when that time comes,” said Willams.
This father has a lot to learn about life. He and the family is controlling the son to disregard the college game in a way that the only thing important for the kid is “his development to be an NFL player.”
That sort of belief system can and will, at some time, be thrown back in the son and the family’s face. There is NO GUARANTEE that the son will ever make the NFL as of many things that can come up…injuries being a major concern. While disregarding the school and team for selfish reasons, this family will come to the realization that there is more to life than controlling a young man from birth through his adult life, which is what I see. Some will say that Caleb Williams is making “his” own decisions. I would disagree.
That is my take sports fans.

I would add that if this is true, what is to say that the culture of the school that Caleb goes to is better than OU? What is the percentage, I wonder, of players that make a move across the Country to play, and do not do as well as they were doing, or potentially could have done where they were!? Charleston Rambo left OU, when he was not performing as well as he could, resulting in not as positive results. Miami was a mediocre program, and Charleston did not get the attention, nor results he expected. Now, Miami has a new HC.
All of these QB’s see what happened with the QB that left UGA and went to Ohio State, and think: that could be me! But, how about the QB that went to Miami from Ohio State and never started, never played. His career is over. How could things have been if he stayed out, helped the team, and won the Natty? Think about Tom Brady. Was a second string QB at Michigan. Stayed. Went pro. Learned from his coaches and learned how to play the position.
