Congrats to Ju'Wuan James

[omghulkhands]

Let the record show that James was taken BEFORE Manziel

 

[tennvols77]

He deserves it. Good kid and hope that he has a long career.

 

[tobybeast]

Just glad he was taken before Manziel!

Luv it when the "experts" with their"inside info" pipeline are wrong. You go Mr. James ! Gruden really displayed his love for johnny football. :rofl: :stop:

Wasn't James a Dooley recruit?

Wasn't James a Dooley recruit?

dooley's name is now synonymous with failure.

 

[Boca Vol]

dooley's name is now synonymous with failure.

And multiple 1st round picks...go figure.

 

[RikidyBones]

Really exciting to see. Miami fans are probably pissed right now, but they have no idea what they just drafted. James is a steal at RT.

I'm not. My friends who were confused are no longer confused. 7 guys down, the rest of Miami to go.

Wasn't James a Dooley recruit?

Kiffin recruit that Dooley held onto iirc. Recruited by Orgeron and Lance Thompson

 

[CornfromJar]

Congrats JJ! You're a Dolphin now but you'll always be a VFL!

 

[chattavol420]

glad he went before richardson. not because i dont like richardson or anything (I do, hes a good kid and a vfl), but because often time the better player gets passed over for a player with better measurables. imo you've had at least 3 if not 4 years to let those measurables work for you. If they haven't yet...they probably never will. james was by far our best o lineman. not even close

Who saw this?

Evidently everybody in hindsight.

 

[Tennman]

cognratulations to him. I always said he was our most consistant lineman. I wish you the best young man and thank you for efforts for the big orange. :hi:

 

[utvolgirl]

Very happy for Ju'Wuan. Saw him on campus a few times and he seemed like a nice guy.

Wasn't James a Dooley recruit?

First, CONGRATS...way to go big fella...keep making us proud !!! :rock:

Second - Dooley's problem wasn't that he didn't have the talent / or couldn't recruit...his problem was that he couldn't develop it...in other words he couldn't SELL IT !!!

 

[Oskie Volum]

Good stuff. I see you have already been chastised. But did you really think we only had four 1st rounders? If you were born in 95 you get a pass for being a youngster though.

Or he still hasn't recovered from that Vols GB back in '95. This is def a "change of name" moment. U don't live down this type of error on this site.

Congrats to James. Man if I were in the NFL MIA would def be one of the places I'd like to be. U know Manziel is like..."Cleveland?? really?? Do they even have any clubs yo??"

Way to go JJ and good luck with the Dolphins!

 

[UTFanForLife]

Who saw this?

A few did, as someone put out the Dolphins were looking for a lineman with that pick and they really liked James.

 

[knoxvols11]

Evidently everybody in hindsight.

Congrats for him but I sure didn't.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Wow! Shocking! Go JuWuan!

 

[orangeluvr]

And multiple 1st round picks...go figure.

So dd could recognize talent but couldn't coach it (?). :dunno:

 

[SlyStone]

Congrats big fella!

 

[Smokeyman]

Congrats on 4th 1st round pick in school history

I think we've had a few more than 4 in our history there buddy…

Other than Kiffin, we haven't had a talent-developer since the late-90s.
