No disrespect to Williams but he isn't the play maker or even close to what Hawkins is. I liked Williams size when I seen him against Fulton. He moved okay as well for that size. Hawkins is as good with ball in his hands as this area has seen in a long while and a 4.4 (40) from what I was told... If you haven't seen Hawkins play you won't regret making a trip to one of his games. Ask ANY opposing coach I'm sure if honest they would share with you the player he is.[/QUOTE
Stumbled over this old post and wanted say I wasn't comparing their talent. Xavier is a BEAST. They are totally different players and serve different purposes. Xavier was being used to his full potential. Billy was not. Billy also played most of thatl Fulton game with a partially seperated shoulder that was injured when he went down on it after nearly breaking a kick off. No thanks to any help from his coach ....his film was made it's way to Northern Iowa and he's on a full ride after they offered just on seeing the film because of his versitility at his size. They watch him play basketball and that made them more excited. If Billy cant' go around you(he has a 4.38 shuttle....that's litte guy quickness)...or out run you (a 4.6 40yd at a now muscled up 245-250 ain't bad)..he will run over you....Hope things worked our for Xavier....i saw him play and he is dynamic.
