The biggest response actually came from Williams on Thursday morning:

USC is the WEST (but)

Williams made his first media appearance earlier in the week and gave insight into what makes him a great recruiter:

"The biggest thing is can you relate," Williams said. "These kids change every year. These parents change every year. And you have to be able to relate, you've got to be quick on your toes, and you've got to love this. You've got to love it just as much as you do coaching. I mean, it's almost being available 24/7. You could say I have one son, right, you could say I have one son, but all of the sudden when it comes to recruiting and if I'm recruiting and [include] the guys already on the team, all of those are my sons too. And you have to look at it that way. You have to be fair and not treat anyone differently."
