I said he wud start also
localsports Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 I feel J'Covan was better than Willie Warren, Oka. via Fort Worth, in high school and was arguably the best talent to come out of SE Texas. Talent like that will always get a second chance. Good Luck J'Covan!!
athlete4o9 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 we get to see him show why he as better than willie feb 6 and march 1
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted November 17, 2009 Report Posted November 17, 2009 Warren really didnt progress into an elite player until mid-season at OU. wait until we get Jai Lucas on board. they will run teams out the gym. you will be seeing the horns full court press this year. Guard laden team.
Guest gladiator2 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 Brown had another good game tonight. He can flat out play, his passing skills are very good. As long as he keeps his head on straight, we will be seeing one of the best to ever come out of this area. The Horn's should be very strong for years to come. Hook'em Horn's!
CThoops Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Posted November 19, 2009 He is still shaking off the rust too. ;D Playing very well but has to cut back on those turnovers..
localsports Posted November 19, 2009 Report Posted November 19, 2009 Not a big 'Horns fan (Louisville) but a huge local fan so I'm pulling for J'Covan. Your right he is on track to be the best from this area.
Icky3284 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 Im one of those guys that never thought he would suit up for the Horns, but man was I wrong. I know its early and the 2 teams they have played aren't great, but man he has looked nothing less than AWESOME!!!

The Goat Posted November 29, 2009 Report Posted November 29, 2009 Brown just finished the rice game with 15pts second on the team behind Pittman
Bucof2010 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Posted November 30, 2009 He's been mentioned on espn quite a bit when they talk about ut bball
shorttexas1 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Posted November 30, 2009 Brown has played well EXCEPT for the turnovers... He will needs to work on not being up in bad positions, he is way to smart of a player for that. I had my doubts about him playing for UT but I did not doubt his talent. He still has BIG shoes to fill to be the best from the area... Right now 6'10" Perk and 6'9" Jackson own those honors... Both have a State Championsip and a NBA title... Those guys are the best to ever come out of the area!
The Goat Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 His scoring is going to increase when Jai Lucus joins the team in Dec. I think they'll move him to the 2 guard

athlete4o9 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 what about bj tyler, earl evans and immanuel mcelroy??? perk and stevie arent the best to come out of this area. some of the best but not number 1s
Razor Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 BJ Tyler was an absolute stud...that guy could flat out play

athlete4o9 Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 bj comes every summer and works out pa players

Bucof2010 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 Do you'll see an nba future for him?
DogOne Posted December 7, 2009 Report Posted December 7, 2009 First of all, good luck to J'Covan! Secondly, an earlier post on this thread said J'Covan might be the best to ever come out of SE Texas. Thankfully, several other posters have said that honor may be a little premature considering such local players such as Kendrick Perkins, Stephan Jackson, BJ Tyler, Earl Evans, etc. But there is one name that is almost never mentioned when listing great athletes from SE Texas and that is Walter "Buddy" Davis from Nederland and Texas A&M. Here is what the Texas Aggie website says about Davis:"Davis (Nederland, Texas) was named the top two-sport track athlete in history by USA Track & Field several years ago. He earned third-team All-America honors in 1951 after leading the Aggies to their first Southwest Conference title in 28 years and their first-ever NCAA Tournament berth. Davis went on win the gold medal and set the world record in the high jump in 1952, then played five seasons in the National Basketball Association for the Philadelphia Warriors and the St. Louis Hawks."A world record and Olympic gold medal in the high jump and then five years in the NBA - not too shabby. Even though Davis played over 50 years ago, I think he is worthy of at least being mentioned as one of the best ever from SE Texas.
