I doubt that it is Va Tech since he hasn't even mentioned them.
He and Star have kept in touch alot from my understanding.

I will also say that I think that it is sad that someone, yet again, takes a thread and uses it to bash JPW.

Re: Julios comment after UnderArmor all star game

I'm a bit concerned that he's referring to Tebow, as Rivals currently has Florida at the top of his list. For lots of reasons, though, I hope he's referring to Star. Watching that kid throw the ball today proved to me that more than any other dual-threat QB out there, Star will be looking to throw to his receivers first and foremost. And he's got the arm strength and accuracy to hit them anywhere on the field.

I don't think Julio has said anything about who's at the top of his list so I would think Rivals may be just guessing. Also...Tebow will be a junior next year so he wouldn't fit what Julio was talking about...I hope!

Apparently, you haven't read any of the QB threads on the football board because compared to a lot of that I'd almost consider what I said a compliment. At least he had the good sense to lock onto his best receiver if he couldn't go without locking onto someone.

Isn't Bradley the QB at OU a (true) FR this year? He set national TD records for a FR QB I believe. He would definitely fit the scenario described if so. Sounds like more fuel to go along with his downplayed trip to Norman, for the "JJ to OU" theories. Don't forget OU picked up a big WR commitment today as well so he would have someone to make it harder to DT him. hmmm....

Sam Bradford is pretty good. He'll be a true sophomore next season.

Agreed - he was most likely talking about OU. That comment by JJ makes me really nervous about his coming to UA as JPW is not a freshman or sophomore.

He may have been talking about Star Jackson. You know, the really good QB from Lake Worth High School that has tremendous upside and unlimited potential who has been talking to JJ a lot lately? Yeah, he's also committed to Alabama! ;) :biggrin2:

Here's hoping he stays in state with our up-and-coming gunslinger.

You're right.:redface: I guess I forgot what I heard and just assumed he'd follow his brother. The way his brother has been shuffled in and out of the line up this year I guess I can understand him going elsewhere. NC State is getting a good one though.

Re: Julios comment after UnderArmor all star game

Tebow will be a junior, so I couldn't imagine he would be referencing Tebow. Not to mention the fact that Florida is returning two of its starting wideouts and has a lot of other wideout talent already stockpiled. If JJ went to Florida he might never see a pass from Tebow in a game. JJ has a great opportunity to grow with a quarterback at Bama (and play early as well considering the experience at wideout that we are losing). I have no idea where JJ is going, but Bama sure makes sense to me lol.

Yeah, but from the way the comments were presented in the opening post, it seems like he is talking about a freshman currently playing, not one enrolling this year.

For a while, OU boards have been touting that they have the advantage with JJ because they already have an established QB that is young. JJ's comments seem to mirror those on the OU boards word for word.

It does seem like CNS has a little bit of work to do but he is an excellent closer. :)

Re: Julios comment after UnderArmor all star game

Everyone knows Star Jackson, as good as he is, is not going to be ready his freshman year. I think he was referring to someone else..Sam Bradford was who I first thought of too. I think Julio may be telegraphing something here unintentionally. Folks, let's be painfully honest--if YOU knew beyond reasonable doubt that JPW was going to be the qb next fall, would you really be 'jazzed' and excited about that, more so than lining up with a Heisman contender like SB, if you were in JJ's shoes? I'll say it--I wouldn't.
That being said, I think proximity may come into play here. Norman is a lot farther from Foley than Tuscaloosa, and that may end up being our saving grace and what closes the deal in our favor. I think we've got a great shot at him, but any veneer of inevitability of him coming to Alabama, I think, is now out the window...

If I were JJ, & attended the Bama/UT game, yes I would be excited to catch passes from JPW........especially if he locks onto JJ the way he did DJ.

Come on, CH. That's one game. Julio is smarter than that--he won't base his decision on that.
