'08 WV OL Josh Jenkins (West Virginia Signee)

[BGriffBuckeye]

How on God's green earth can an FSU fan act smug about ANYTHING right now?

I have no idea. Also, going into the season before, when I actually lived with him, he was honest to God telling the truth when he said they would probably go undefeated (finished 7-6) and Clemson QB Will Proctor would have to be brought off the field on a stretcher by the end of the game (Clemson won 27-20 and Proctor had very good game). Delusion is the only way to describe it, I guess.

Coach Tressel and Bollman spent the entire day with Josh and then had their in-home visit with his mother. Josh's coach still thinks it is between tOSU and WVU with the Buckeyes having a slight lead right now.

OSU?s Tressel visits Parkersburg
Coach makes bid to recruit Jenkins

By STEVE HEMMELGARN POSTED: January 18, 2008

PARKERSBURG ? The man in the gray sweater vest came to town Thursday, but he wasn?t a tourist out sightseeing.

Jim Tressel knew exactly where he was going ? and it?s where the riches were, athletically speaking that is ? as Ohio State?s head football coach headed to Parkersburg High School to visit with Big Red All-American senior offensive lineman Josh Jenkins, the prize in a recruiting duel that has apparently been narrowed down to between the Buckeyes and home state West Virginia University.

Since Tressel couldn?t discuss any specific recruits OSU was after, even though the Buckeye grid boss was obviously at PHS to see Jenkins and later at the Jenkins home talking to Josh?s mother, he talked about a variety of other topics relating to Ohio State football.

Great update, especially considering I've been told that McCullough is THE man when it comes to JJ's recruiting (from some people at PHS).

The coach sounds like a nice guy, but I would trust what Josh says over him.....

Josh says he will visit WVU and has no idea what to expect. He raves about FSU and says the Noles and tOSU lead with WVU in a distant third. Pitt is no longer being considered.

How, as a parent, could you not want your kid to play for this guy? :)

I love how Tress dodges that last question COMPLETELY...but what he does say pretty much makes you forget WHAT the question even was.

Senator indeed.

Jenkins may see cohorts at WVU
Star?s brother may be student assistant; bowl teammate Jackson leaning toward WVU

PARKERSBURG ? After spending Thursday with Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel, Parkersburg High School all-America lineman Josh Jenkins left Friday for his official visit to West Virginia University, which will take place this weekend.

Jenkins remains the subject of a red-hot recruiting battle with at least three schools ?WVU, Ohio State and Florida State ?still in the running for the services of the 6-foot-5, 305-pound standout, who recently participated in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio.

If Jenkins ends up casting his lot with the Mountaineers, he may find himself being coached by one of his brothers and may be blocking for one of his East teammates at the All-American Bowl.

Jenkins brother, Ohio University senior Paul Johnson, who is completing an internship that will qualify him for graduation, has interviewed with WVU regarding a graduate assistant position for which he had applied several months ago.

Parkersburg coaches were asked to keep JJ off limits to all except one program - by you know who? (BN post - Kurelic, click to read)

That link really makes me wish cursing was allowed in the recruiting forum. So many words to describe DickRod, so few one's I'm actually allowed to say here.
