just announced

I feel like seeing his highlights is a cruel tease right now 

ND degree, light WR competition and a CFP window ahead.  Why leave?  Especially for a school rebooting.

I think OSU is probably the most likely spot, over USC. I could even see a case for Bama and TX.

Colzie, Styles, and Merriweather aren't really light either. I agree we're probably thinner than a team like OSU and Bama, but we're probably sitting with better talent than TX and USC right now at WR. And sometimes rebooting is attractive to kids.

OSU offered him before ND, and he visited OSU a week or so before his ND official. 

The USC and UCLA visits are just his last two officials IIRC. He's been to Stanford and TX too.

I really hope we keep him, I think he will be a great college player.

Yeah I don't think osu is involved here.  

Now I see why Williams was looking into USC again.  I would hope that the ND staff asked him point blank before accepting his commitment, what happens if USC hires a big name coach?  Not to say that a guy that age should be able to speculate but you still have to ask to see if you have a solid commitment or not.

Kelly is out on the left coast recruiting this week after the Stanford blow out. I am sure he will be in Williams' living room with his parents to seal the deal this week,

Freeman needs to start working on his SC game plan against CJ Williams and a bunch of other top 100 receivers, as long as SC has Lincoln Riley they will have the best WR corps in college football.

Passing game hasn't been a problem for SC since forever. Agreed that getting Williams is important for ND but they'll continue to have a load of talented receivers out there (and QB's to sling it to them), no matter how many top 100 WR's we pull in annually).

ND coaches - BK, Rees, Del, Polian - go in-home with him this week (Wednesday, I believe). They need to crush it. He was already looking around (USC, UCLA) before the Lincoln Riley news. The offer seems to intrigue him based on his tweets and quotes. The one thing going for ND is that OU did not offer him a scholarship, and Riley is bringing the WR Coach with him to USC. That's got to bug CJ some, but not sure it will matter in the end if they extend an offer now, as he seemed looking for an excuse to stay in So Cal.

I would suspect CJ Williams will flip to USC.

Will be interesting.

If Williams were really such a Riley fan, he could have committed to OU.

He may be a big USC fan, and Riley going there may put a more lustrous shine on that program to him.  But, I'm not sure he's a 'sure thing' flip.  We'll certainly know more soon.
