A Cincinnati school coach used to discard all letters from schools other than ND. That way, NoD used to get the cream of the crop from Ohio. Its not a new phenomenon. Things like this have been happening for a while.

Its not that uncommon a practice for coaches but it certainly gives insight into how much they actually care about a young mans life outside of where their football program is concerned.

As a parent I would take notice of that type of behavior.

Jenkins may see cohorts at WVU | Parkersburg News and Sentinel

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.

When Jenkins played at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, he was extremely impressed with his East teammate, quarterback Star Jackson of Lake Worth, Fla., who came out on top in several quarterback drills at the all-star game. Jackson, who was said to be leaning to Alabama, now appears to have put West Virginia at the top of his list. His timing couldn’t be better with Pat White having one more year in Morgantown, after which the signal-calling position will be up for grabs.

Yes, but in the eyes of the NCAA there is a huge difference between what the HS coach does and what the college coach does.

Love your enthusiasm, nice post.

However, I'm afraid this one isn't going to come down to Coach Tressel vs. any other person in this world except Josh. And what I mean by that is that this kid to me (and I've never met him, of course) Just loves TOSU and WVU so much that it's killing him. It's probably why he's brought FSU into the mix, which is a shame because he just needs to make a tough decision and let either us or WVU down. I'd love to have this "big'ol ugly" like I'd always like to have ANY of the big'OL's on our radar. But, I'd rather see Josh go to WVU and be happy that go against what his heart tells him to do and come here, and I truly believe WVU is in his heart. IMO, if he really loved us the most, he would have committed awhile ago. I think the kid wants to come here because of the potential rewards down the line, but I feel WVU is his "calling: and will end up there, and if this happens, I'd like to be the first to wish him the best of luck.

OR, just come here:biggrin:

IMO, he doesn't go to WVU.....one of my best frieds knows him very well, and Josh never claims to be from WV....he was born in Texas I think, and just lives here now.....I just dont think he'll be a Mountaineer.....

Regardless the other rumors and such, remember, passion about a program can be a powerful thing, and Stewart LOVES WVU, the state, the university, the football team. He is a Mountaineer through and through. I don't think Bill Stewart would have a hard time at all selling a recruit on why he should love WVU too. THat being said tress can do the same here.

I wish Josh the best luck on his impending desicion and whether in Scarlet and Grey or Blue n' Gold he'll be a good one

Interview with Jenkins's coach (McCullough) concerning Josh's official visit to West Virginia; also discusses JT's recent in-home visit to Josh.

Coach McCullough states that Josh is probably done taking visits, and that he will announce on Signing Day from among Ohio State, West Virginia, and Florida State.
