Rather than starting a new thread, will post this here. Yesterday afternoon, the local radio show (Bill Shanks Show) was at a Wild Wings Cafe and had a bunch of the local signees and their coaches there -- along with callins of state football coaches. JB was there with his head coach and defensive coach.
JB's interview made me proud that he is coming to Tech. Am paraphrasing, but he said in talking about his reasons for coming to Tech was to get a degree that meant for something; in talking about playing next year -- his answer was that he was going to try and get on the field, but if the coaches wanted to RS him, he was okay with it. Head coach and his defensive coach raved about him -- talking about he made them great coaches -- and now they will go back to being just average. Heady, hard work, etc.
Bill Shanks (UGag fanatic) also ranted on his only 2 stars -- compared him to Rennie Curran in very similar styles.
Everyone kept calling him a football player, in that he is not flashy, not mouthy -- but will just play hard nosed football.
Was excited about Burnett already -- but the show made me more proud of our school and the recruits we get.
