Does Bo Mitchell always go by Bo Levi? I thought using all three names was reserved for those with addresses in Huntsville.

justin doesn't have the speed to play any of the skill positions. did you notice the defensive lineman from central florida chasing willis down from behind??? jw is also too small to play any other position. he better start changing his act...if he wants to play for indiana jones............



ipp----"What about Bo Levi Mitchell?

I am very worried about Justin Willis.

Justin hasn't exactly got a resounding vote of confidence from Junebug.

We need Justin's athleticism on the field in some shape or form.

Stallion does Justin have the speed to play receiver in this offense?"

From what I hear, the only player that was not previously playing linebacker, but now is, is Smart. No one else has switched positions. Bailey's switch has been discussed due to the fact that the coaching staff does not feel as if he is fast enough to play safety.

Additionally, the players are being told they are running a 4-3

SMU has a rich history of 3-named QB's. Just ask Jim Bob Taylor. I think he holds the SWC record for longest TD pass.

No Jeff Courtwright is who you are thinking of-he was literrally starting on the Phi Delt intramural team when [deleted] Blaylock and some other Phi Delts convinced him to walkon because SMU couldn't recruit many QBs after McIllhenney started as a freshman. McIllhenney got hurt and missed the NTSU game. Courtwright threw a 96 yard TD pass to Craig James which stood as the longest pass play in SWC History until one of the very last weeks in the last season of the SWC.

Not receiver, but Tight End :D

Does Dandy Don Meredith count as a 3 name QB?

June Jones is just Yoda-ing Justin Willis: breaking down the Conf. USA Freshman of the Year into something he can work with. Jones wants to make it very clear that there is one way to play football at SMU for the foreseeable future: His way.

Those that disagree are invited to go elsewhere. That has been made abundantly clear to everyone involved.

Didn't some "insider" mention that Willis had some grade issues? I am not starting any type of rumor. Just thought that Big Daddy or someone similarly close to Justin had said this.

Dunno. Heard Willis had some class attendance issues. I believe those have been straightened out.
