From EDGYTIM...Demetrius enjoyed his trip to Purdue on Sunday. His top 5 is Notre Dame, Purdue, Texas, Louisville and North Carolina. He would like to decide soon.

With Henton on board and Williams as an option, I think it is safe to close this thread for the mean time...

Lexie Spurlock didn't quite betray Charlie Weis' big secret. But the Morgan Park football coach -- who is in almost daily contact with Notre Dame quarterback Demetrius Jones -- said Thursday that he believes his former star player will get the start for the Irish in the season opener Saturday against Georgia Tech.
Weis has refused to name a starter publicly because he thinks that will give him an advantage over the Yellow Jackets. Asked if Jones has told him anything, Spurlock said: ''All I can say is Chicago will be proud.''
''Everyone tells me that he's been getting most of the snaps, so I'd assume that we'll all be happy,'' said Spurlock, who said he spoke with Jones on Wednesday night and again Thursday.
Jones, a sophomore who didn't take a snap last year, has been competing with junior Evan Sharpley and freshman Jimmy Clausen.
''He had a good camp in the spring and the summer,'' Spurlock said. ''[Jones] has all the tools, and he is with the man who can polish them up. The sky's the limit.''

ND's Jones headed to NIU?
By Adam Rittenberg | Daily Herald Sports Writer
Published: 9/15/2007 1:23 AMSend To:

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Notre Dame sophomore quarterback Demetrius Jones did not travel with the team to Michigan and possibly has transferred from the school.

Several clues suggest that Jones, who started Notre Dame's season opener Sept. 1, has transferred to Northern Illinois. The NIU online phone directory lists a student with the same full name -- Demetrius Armond Jones -- and the Chicago zip code matching the South Side neighborhood where Jones lives.

The e-mail address listed for Demetrius Jones in NIU's directory corresponds with the one Jones has at Notre Dame. Another hint surfaced Friday on Jones' Notre Dame Facebook.com page, where Northern Illinois linebacker Phil Brown, a teammate of Jones' at Chicago's Morgan Park High School, wrote "So loong" at 1:08 p.m.

Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis issued a statement saying he was informed at 2:30 p.m. Friday that Jones would not be traveling with the team to Michigan. Jones had practiced with Notre Dame as recently as Thursday.

"I have not spoken to Demetrius and can only say that he missed the team bus," Weis said in the statement. "Any additional comment would be without all the facts."
