Morning links: Jamaal Williams pitches BYU to recruits; Jimmer Fredette gets some love

Jamaal Williams continues to put his best foot forward for BYU.

The former Cougar star running back, who now plays for the Green Bay Packers, recently delivered a two-minute recruiting pitch for his alma mater.

"I think it's a special place," Williams said of the Provo university.

His reasons:

• Independence: "We play anyone we want. All four years, I probably played so many teams other teams didn’t play because they have a real robot schedule."

• Academics: "Private school is always a good thing. I feel BYU just challenges you in school and academics and everything.
