Jones didn’t convince anyone that he was solid last weekend on his official. The ball was in his court.

It seems like Jones is content with dating both Bama and OSU for as long as possible. OSU is his public girlfriend at the moment, but he's been showing more attention to his side piece recently to the point where his feelings have grown very strong for Bama. I can't help but compare this situation to Triston Wallace and Dwayne Haskins, but it's probably not as apples to apples as it would appear from the outside.

Wallace was told to look around but I get what you’re saying. I think it’s gonna end up like the Kareem Walker situation.

I think Jones will make a decision before it gets to a Walker type deal. If he goes to Bama this weekend, you'll see a decomittment post by Sunday morning for sure.

That is the expectation. He’s been committed a long time like Walker was. I don’t always like the super early commits. Sometimes, I think it’s best for kids to look at all options, then decide unless their Ohio born.

I agree. JK Dobbins is the exception not the rule.

@John Anthony how much stock should be put into Crystal Ball predictions?

Case by case basis, but a lot.

Boom!!! 4 Star Safety Tyreke Johnson commits to the Buckeyes!

Elite prospect on the cusp of being a 5 star. Amazing they could keep him away from Georgia.

@GrantNKY Cox is out but the staff knew it. Can’t blame a kid for wanting to possibly play with all of his local friends.

I had a feeling this one was coming. It's hard to turn down that kind of connection. But the fact that he stayed committed to OSU for so long in the first place is a tribute to what Larry Johnson is doing. My only hope is the ridiculous part of our fan base understands the allure of playing with your boys leaves him alone and wishes him well.
