I heard from a person I consider to be a reliable source, that JJ had a serious question about Willis arm strength and especially his ability to throw hard long balls (not long floaters). JJ discussed this with him and told him what he needed to do if he was going to compete for the QB position. Sounds like he chose to rebel instead of getting with the program.

A 0.9! WOW


I had a friend who made a .8 one semester, but he wasn't a supposed leader on a team. It takes a lot of determination to pull grades that low.

I can assure you it is possible, but it couldn't be a surprise.

I'm sorry, but even if its true, don't go posting his GPA on the internet. The guy someday may be applying for a job and he might be rejected before even a transcript is shown because of ramblings like this. A better answer would have been "I know he was having some academic difficulties". That's all that needs to be said.

It doesn't matter what's said on here about his GPA, if he's applying for a job they'll have to see it eventually, regardless. And with his work ethic, he's probably not gonna be searching for one for a good while.

It's funny how people quickly stood up about Jwill's gpa being posted on the board but didn't say much when other aspects of his personal life were previously brought up.

haha, as a friend of JW, ive done my best to have his back when bad things were said, granted, ive done a lil JW bashing before but i do believe that personal issues shouldnt be brought up, even though they always are.
