On trip, FSU has Williams' number BY MANNY NAVARRO Willie Williams' weekend visit to Florida State felt like a scene from Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. From a ride on a private jet to chowing down hundreds of dollars worth of steaks and lobster tails at Tallahassee's most elegant restaurant The Silver Slipper, Williams ate up the royal treatment.

After getting spoiled with his own private jet ride to FSU, Williams was downgraded to sharing a flight with with seven other players. The expensive steak and lobster tails he had been treated to by the Seminoles were replaced by a steady diet of finger foods and ribs. Continued
The kid is more concerned with the food and perks of being a college athlete than his development. I wouldn't want this kid.
Going to Free Shoes University has many many perk$ and I'm sure Good Ol' Bobby has told him about them.
