Question: DE / LB Jordan Jenkins Commits to Georgia (Page 11)

Re: DE Jordan Jenkins status/updates?

Last word, we led, with Florida not far behind. Saturday didn't hurt us a lick. Tidesports/Rivals had an update for its subscribers. The teaser indicated JJ was impressed by his visit for the Arkansas game. That may turn out to be the understatment of the year.

Re: DE Jordan Jenkins status/updates?

He says that UA and UF are his leaders with UGA, UT, and AU still in there. But it looks to be a 2 horse race between UA and UF. Will be at the game this week and not planning on deciding yet.

Jordan Jenkins, who is a candidate to be Georgia’s No. 1 overall college football prospect, may be close to the end of his recruiting journey.

The 6-foot-4, 250-pound defensive end from Harris County High School made an unofficial visit to Alabama last weekend, and is headed to Florida this Saturday. Alabama and Florida are the co-leaders for Jenkins, followed by Auburn, UGA and Tennessee.

“I think after this Florida visit, I think his announcement is nearing,” his father, Ronald Jenkins, told the AJC. “I anticipate it definitely before the end of the season, in my opinion, or right after the end of the season. I really think he’s getting closer to his decision.

we have had the lead and we all saw what upshaw did from his future position.

Re: DE Jordan Jenkins Updates

Plus Geno is really working him hard. Just like Ha-Ha did last year with D Hart.

So he did make the trip. I'd forget about Florida too.

Re: DE Jordan Jenkins Updates

That's great news. He's a very talented player

Re: DE Jordan Jenkins Updates

Fabulous news. The #1 recruit in GA by most services and along with Smith, Lee and Drake would give us 4 out of the top 10 players in GA. You know where you want to go Jordan so go ahead and pull the trigger.

I believe brandon green is in that top 10 as well.

Re: DE Jordan Jenkins Updates

Vadal Alexander, Dalvin Tomlinson, Freitag ... all still on the vine. This would be almost embarrassing ... except it's not embarrassing in the least. When Larry Munson commits, I'd say this year's job is done.

Re: DE Jordan Jenkins Updates

Jenkins has named Bama as his overall favorite.

I was watching In The Huddle on CSS and Barton Simmons of 247 Sports is one of the co-host. He also said we lead for Jordan. They showed a list of the top 10 players in GA with Jordan at #1 and most likely committing to us along with #2 Geno Smith, #3 Dillon Lee and #7 Kenyon Drake. They were wondering what Richt was doing letting these guys go out of state and complimenting Bama for their efforts. The state of GA is ours and with Foster committed for 2013 (#1 or #2 recruit) and us leading for Nmideke (sp?) the trend continues.

Is anyone else getting warm fuzzies?:wink:

Re: DE Jordan Jenkins Updates

Blurb from some FL writer on Jenkins at the UF-UA game. Just interesting, not earth-shattering.

"I do think one tangible result that this game may have had on an important prospect involves buck linebacker Jordan Jenkins, or should I say jack linebacker (which is what Alabama calls the same position). Jenkins said before the game that Alabama has a slight edge over Florida in his top 2. Well, Saturday’s blowout most likely solidified that status. Jenkins has a good relationship with Florida’s Ronald Powell. He looks up to the former No. 1 overall recruit in the nation. He has watched intently to see what Powell could do in Will Muschamp’s defense now that he’s lined up in the buck linebacker position. He didn’t see a whole lot of splash if he was watching Powell against Alabama. On the other side of the field, he could see Bama’s jack linebacker, Courtney Upshaw, absolutely wreak havoc with a pick six, a sack that knocked out UF’s starting quarterback and three tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Ask yourself this: If you were one of the nation’s best defensive end/linebacker prospects and you just watched that game, which team would you think is more likely to develop your talents?"

Re: DE Jordan Jenkins Updates

These guys post full subscription stuff. The last post mentions visitors to the Florida game and Jenkins' comments. The posts are insightful and worth keeping an eye on, given they're freebies! Delete if this shouldn't be posted.

Re: DE Jordan Jenkins Updates

Certainly some speculation in the writer's post, but sound reasoning. I do believe he may have underestimated Alabama's lead for Jenkins coming into the game.
