Really, the stupid press conference is not that big a deal, get on with it!

He could still have the press conference. Star had a presser. He can even do the jersey or hat thing and it will be aired on National t.v. But the world isn't as sure of him coming here as we are, and him joining now would help get the other guys that we really need.
 
From all I've learned about JJ the last couple of years, if he agreed to announce at the all-star game I would be shocked if he even gave an indication a minute earlier.
 
The question I have on Jones is this: Will he be at the UA/LSU game?

I'm figuring if he showed up at the Ark/GA/UT games, I'm guessing he's not going to miss the biggest home game of the season against a TOP school.
 
he's been to every big bama home game we've had...how could he not be coming to bama? i'm very optimistic...and just hope i'm right! seemed like good news that he was in t-town last weekend, considering the EARLY start, and i assume he was at his foley game the night before.

If he's considering LSU, wouldn't he have probably been at the game last weekend vs. Auburn? since he's already been to several bama games? or FSU since they were playing a big rival in miami (that game was at FSU, right?) - instead of going to bama, where he's already been a few times?

hope he comes to the LSU game...because that is going to be some atmosphere!!!!
 
I saw on scout today that JJ is supposed to do his official on December the 7, does anyone know anything about this??

Scout also says that he is visiting Oklahoma on the 3rd......which would mean he wouldnt be at the LSU game??? i have really never looked at scout before but i was just wondering what the validity of these statements are?

Hopefully, he has seen enough Bama games and his mind is made up and this trip to OU is just a free trip.

Personally the OU trip is nothing more then a courtesy trip for Jones. Most---not all--- HS sign with team that basically in the area. So, I honestly believe the OU is nothing more then a courtesy/fact finding type trip for him
 
I don't mean to start rumors in any way and if any one feels that way I do apologize but a friend told me that in the Atlanta Journal Constitution they had an article about recruiting and that Julio Jones dropped Florida State. I can't find the article so they may have been mistaken. I was just wondering if any one else had seen this. Again if any one feels that I'm spreading a rumor please correct me.

I'm assuming this is the article he is misquoting LINK. The article says he canceled a scheduled trip to FSU so he could come to the TN game. It doesn't say he dropped FSU.

Just a tip on searching for stuff like this. On google you can search a site by typing something like "site:ajc.com Julio Jones" in the search box.

Hey thanks thats my bad.
 
It'll be interesting to see if he makes that visit to OU or if he cancels/reschedules if that date is correct.
 
I truly believe that JJ is coming to Bama.

But, if I were him I would at least go to schools that I was wondering about because if he doesn't, one day, he may look back and wonder what that school was like. People tend to have regrets about what they don't do, not what they did.

And, if he is so taken by OU that he choses to play there, in the Big 12, not here in the SEC, close to his family, then that is what he should do. But, I don't think that will happen. I think that he is simply tying up loose threads.

Most HSers tend to not want to play football too far from their own backyards. I realize there are the Joe McKnights, who will travel to play college football, but the majority of HSers will find a school in the radius of their home to play their college football. Which means, IMO, Jones going to Oklahoma is like an itch that he will need scratched. But ultimately, I also believe JJ will be a Bammer.

Also, some kids can think far enough ahead to what they want to do and where they want to live AFTER football. If a kid wants to raise his family and reside in his home state, getting an education and playing football at The University will someday open a lot of doors of opportunity.

Mainly, when the UofA is maintaining it's status quo, in football, that is where 80%-90% of the Alabama kids WANT to play. It will be hard to get JJ to play anywhere else!!!!!!!
