wes, you know we love you and we have your back on most thngs, but you are dead wrong on your stance on this one.
this is nothing more than old hearsay at best with only the words of a grumpy old alumni who hasn't written or said a positive thing about anyone in years.
what bothers me the most about this quite frankly is not the claim, but that this isn't news, this is [ Finebaum ] being thrown against the wall to stir up things and has nothing redeeming about it.
in regards to brees himself two thoughts. first, i don't believe sullivan stated brees was an option quarterback because quite frankly he wasn't an option quarterback in high school.
drew was a highly productive, pro-style quarterback who lead westlake to a state title where they beat the [ Finebaum ] out of abilene cooper. the guy threw for over 3,500 yards and 31 touchdowns as a senior and this was out of a two-back system and not in today's spread offenses.
the school that really missed on drew brees? simple, texas.
drew was a 2-year starter at THE high school in the austin area, a school where multiple texas football staff members and exes had children attending, he was 28-1 in his 2 year period, threw for over 5,500 yards in high school, and was a blood relation of a cotton bowl winning longhorn quarterback.
thing is that story doesnt paint tcu in a bad light and that is the only purpose i can find for a story that can not even be backed by the head coach who would have been actively involved in his star players recruiting process.
