Hes not gone forever. Hell be back better than ever. We know it. Weve just got to hold the fort down until he comes back.Alex Caruso has the utmost confidence that Williams will bounce back, as he done from injury before.(JDub) is a resilient human being. He has great parents, comes from a great family of I think hard work and love and putting your best forward at all times. The couple years Ive been here, getting to know his mom and dad I know that they raised their children right. And I think those characteristics and qualities are instilled in him as a person. A certain point you cant be a victim anymore, and you have to take the adversity head on and kind of fight back. And hes continued to do that, and I know hell continue to do it moving forward.
