dme1111 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Posted December 5, 2009 I read the article in my SI and I thought it was great. Talking about the great TJ teams of the 70's. Very nice article.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted December 5, 2009 Report Posted December 5, 2009 the most highly recruited QB to come out of SETX? I cant think of another one other than Chip from WB and JB from Brook also

It's my understanding that West Virginia will put JJ to the test, immediately! Don't be surprised with no redshirt year.
Guest JoesBros Posted December 5, 2009 Report Posted December 5, 2009 I hope Zach Lee dosent turn into Jarret Lee for my LSU Tigers ;)

Granted, they don't exactly run the same scheme at WV as they did under their former HC (now at Michigan), but I expect they will give him plenty of opportunity to perform with his legs as much as his passing. The Big East is about to get a taste of Texas football. I'd love to see him switch to TCU, but I don't expect it. Either way, he'll be fun to watch.

Tiger90 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Posted December 6, 2009 I visited with WV's qb coach most of the night at the Navasota game. He told me he'd love to be able to redshirt JJ to "thicken" him up but he'd probably get a shot next year. They currently have just one freshman ahead of JJ. JJ is the only Texas recruit and would be only Texas player on the team according to him.
AggiesAreWe Posted December 7, 2009 Author Report Posted December 7, 2009 The OC At WVU (Jeff Mullins) will be in Silsbee today to do a home visit with JJ and family. This is his third trip to Silsbee. The Head coach Bill Stewart will be visiting sometimes in January.Coach Tadamy of TCU will be in on Tuesday to visit with Jeremy.
