Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

We no one named as our potential starter for next year. Jones would compete for that role out of the gates at OSU.
Haskins is PRO style and will be a rising junior. Martell is DUAL and will be a rising soph.

I think its between those two in the spring. if Jones sticks, he has a chance to make some noise, but from what I read and seen , he's not quite ready nor polish. great arm but needs work on footwork etc.

And Ohio State just got another QB commit. Come on down, Emory!!

Thanks - just heard this was a done deal. He is a very elusive QB who runs a pistol formation pro-set offense in TX. He is a solid runner, but a much better passer. Because of his size he won't be competing for a starting job next year (6'2", but only 195).

Good luck landing Emory.

Given CNS' home visit has come and gone, and tOSU has turned elsewhere, what's the latest with EJ?

Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

the home visit went very well. confidence is high that Jones will flip and Bama will get him in the fold.
From the SEC Country article about his last game:

The Under Armour All-American will enroll early at the school of his choice. He told me that he may have a “fake” signing ceremony on Dec. 19, which is the day before the early signing period begins. Dec. 19 is the last day of school for Jones, and he wants his teammates and coaches there when he makes his final decision.
Highly doubtful he makes a public commitment before next Tuesday. We've just got to wait another week for confirmation on what we all expect to happen.

Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

Seen some talk that Florida might be an option for Emory now. Would make sense.

Similar offense to Ohio State? Check

Closer to home than Columbus, Ohio? Check

Yep, and it appears we have picked up the pace on James Foster. Going to start a thread on him.

Re: 4* QB Emory Jones (Ohio State Commit)

Hey RTR, if Jones is out of play, would we be better off with Foster or Williams (if we could get either)?
Williams isn't going to happen. We stopped recruiting him a month ago to focus on Jones. Foster is a possibility.

No doubt would have loved to see Jones come aboard. Having said that, IMO QB is far from our most pressing priority this cycle. If we didn`t sign one this cycle, not an earth shaking event, again IMO.
