Wisconsin RB commit Antonio Williams preaches patience about coaching turnover

81

That's 2016 four-star running back Antonio Williams, who committed to Wisconsin in early December. Williams, aside from the hype his recruitment has gathered -- 247Sports' Composite rankings have him as the No. 7 running back for 2016 -- the North Stanly, N.C., product has been vocal about his excitement of coming to Madison.

Yet, after news of running backs coach and top recruiting Thomas Brown leaving for Georgia surfaced earlier this week, Williams tweeted he was "staying off twitter for a while" and "not answering any questions at the moment." The tweet was received widely as a hint that Williams might be re-opening his recruitment, but as the above tweet indicates, he says he's just being patient until Brown's replacement is in the fold. At this point, John Settle still seems likely to be the guy.
