DL Carlon Jones [USC - Signed LOI]

[Red Five]

Reading between the lines from other places he wanted to visit other schools and wait until February to sign. And we said “nope”.

“I wanted to be a part of the change, but unfortunately that couldn’t happen”

Odd wording but it’s a 18 year old so who the hell knows.

That sure sounds like it wasn’t his choice. 

 

[BigRedBuster]

Any chance he was going to be an academic risk?

 

[Red Five]

From some of the responses it sounds like people are saying it's because Nash and Ty are coming back? I'm not up on the scholarship numbers but I would think there are plenty of other guys leaving to make room? 

You don’t turn away a good HS DT because 5th and 6th year players are coming back.

The writing on the wall was that he was ready to visit Ohio State.  I think if he was going to do that while being committed to us then we would be sitting ducks just waiting to see if he decommits later or wants to stay on.  I want kids that want to be here to help the program turn around.  Im surprised we are still hanging on to Barney from Florida.  Nothing from this past seasons offense tells me that he could make a difference for change not with who was doing the playcalling at the helm.

This with a variety of wanting us to sweeten the pot makes the most sense. Hutmacher/Robinson seem like non-factors
