Julio Jones: What is the realistic possibility?

I just have a hard time believe that Lester would go elsewhere after how quickly he committed to us after we offered.

I have been following recruiting for a long time. Either the OU writer is twisting what is being said in his article, Lester is putting out some serious misinformation to the media, or he is seriously looking around. He is now saying he is going to take all his visits along with statements leading one to believe is he very open to changing his mind. In my opinion his commitment should be changed to "soft verbal."

Would his Momma really want to travel to Okla for his games? I think not...Heck, his whole family could come see him in T-Town. I pray to the good Lord above that he plays for Bama....He would be the toast of Alabama for the rest of his life!!!

No. She would move there.

I agree CS it should be.

The blurb below comes from this OK website:

Julio Jones, WR, 6-4, 215, Foley, Ala.: Jones visited the Cotton Bowl for the Red River Rivalry, but OU is on the outside looking at the nation's No. 2 overall prospect.

Wow!

How many Bama games has JJ come to this year already? lol

That being said, I think he really, really does enjoy the total courtship/recruiting stuff involving him....

(Big under-statement! lol)

And yet, I'm not really worried. While there are those that are 100% committed right now to certain schools (the kids that grew up Alabama fans, like Tyler Love) a majority of prospects are under the "soft verbal" until NSD.

I mean if you are given an opportunity to watch another big conference game on the sideline of say a Oklahoma game, you wouldn't go? What's the point of say Oklahoma inviting you to a game, if they know you are not interested? I'm sure Lester is interested in Oklahoma, but I doubt it leads to anything.

I going to keep say...Lester and Jones will be in T-Town in 2008.

I don't blame these kids for going to as many games and stuff like that as they can. How many of these kids will have the opportunity to do these kinds of things later in life. Enjoy it while you can.

I do hope these two end up signing with BAMA as they would be welcome assets. However, it will not be the end of the world if one or both do not committ as I'm sure CNS will have a very good recruiting class one way or the other.
