'08 WV OL Josh Jenkins (West Virginia Signee)

[OSUnumber45]

It helps that Trickett will not being going back to WVU.

That's the key IMO.

If Trickett were to go back to WVU that would make it very very tough for OSU to get Jenkins.

Josh has decommitted from WVU and is focused on Ohio State, Florida State, Pittsburgh and Penn State. He may consider WVU again after they name the coach.

JJ just decomitted from WVU per Scout $Scout.com: A Mountaineer No More

I wonder if he has any front-runners...

Rod just made it easy for Josh...but this was happening regardless.

 

[Moose]

This is very encouraging. OSU has been steady all the way. Hope that's evident to Josh. Consistency in recruiting is re-assuring to the parents as well. Coach Tressel is a "Steady Eddy".

Yes, I have to agree with that. But I am a little surprised that he has been considering FSU, even after all the problems that the program has been having recently.

W/o a BN$ sbscription, the headline over there does say Ohio State leads... not that I needed them to tell me though in the first place.

Good news on Josh and look forward to his decision.

I am not an insider but perhaps Rich Rod is smarter than we are giving him credit. He got a huge raise and upgrade in programs with Michigan and knew he was not going to be able to deliver the top in state recruit and best qb like some assumed to WVU hmmm. This would solve the why call TP before anyone else because it is all about him.

Michigan's newest insider disagrees.

Agreed. RR is the fall guy in this not Josh. Even the crazy Mountaineer fans would have to agree. :)

He has been considering FSU because he committed to WVU largely because of Coach Trickett, who then left Morgantwon to be an assistant coach under Bobby Bowden...

By BK...more of the same...visiting FSU on 1/11...says OSU is his number one followed by FSU, WVU, Pitt and PSU.

Oh Ok! That makes sense now. However, based on everything he has been saying lately, including in the article on BN, we have the best chance of landing him.

Man, what a OL that would be if we added Jenkins to Brewster, Adams & Shugarts! I think I could play QB with a line like that!

 

[stowfan]

Sounds like the long talked about block O will soon be complete!

 

[ProudBuck67]

Jazzman you might have to if we can't land Pryor!



GO BUCKS!

More of the same...talks about why he felt he had to remain loyal to WVU this long and say the decision to de-commit was not spur of the moment.
