It's pronounced "Juh Ley"
Wow, 4 years in football purgatory at Duke. Enjoy Jela.
4 years in football purgatory, work hard, and all you have to show for it is a degree from one of the finest universities in the world valued at well north of 200k. Yea, Jela really screwed up by signing with Duke.
He is a wonderful kid who will excel no matter where he chose to go. This is his future and his choice, not yours. He will do great at Duke.
Yeah, I'm sure that's what people said to Andrew Luck and David DeCastro and Toby Gerhart when they signed at Stanford. How'd that work out, again?
