Very positive report - more affirmative comments about the other 2 (possible) commits

 

[korchiki]

Can we give Mike Adams some kind of medal or something?

I think we should split this into its own thread...but thinking back who have been the best player recruiters of all time...obviously adams is making a run at it...and i know zwick was pretty good in '02...any others

By BK...Jenkins is still a soft commit to WVU but OSU has made up ground. FSU and UF are also in the picture.

I just don't think Jenkins is ready to tell WVU fans he is leaving the state...yet. Time will tell...

Columbus ain't that far away. Just a hop skip and a jump away.

Michigan offered. Josh says he is a soft verbal to WVU.

 

[HINYG8]

Michigan offered. Josh says he is a soft verbal to WVU.

The more often he repeats he is a soft verbal, the easier it likely becomes to make a change.

I'd like to hear him say that about 500 times a day.

I'd like to hear him say that about 500 times a day.

I'd like to hear him say, "I'm now a Buckeye and it's solid", once...

Strutting their stuff at the combine
WVU-bound Jenkins sits this one out while coaches, scouts look for gems

By Jeff Rider
Staff writer


[QUOTE]Between his work in the trenches on Friday nights and his performance in the combines, Jenkins showed enough to West Virginia University coaches to garner a full scholarship offer. He has already signed with the Mountaineers, opting to stay closer to home instead of accepting offers from Notre Dame or Penn State.

While the departure of WVU line coach Rick Trickett caused him to ?sway a little bit,? Jenkins said he remains committed to West Virginia.

His focus, though, is on his senior season with the Big Reds and winning a second straight Class AAA championship.

?Right now, things are going good,? Jenkins said. ?We were in the weight room the week after the state championship game. All we do is work out. It?s great. We have great coaches and a great football team. We?re going to be a family this year, that?s the biggest thing.

?We don?t want what happened to Morgantown, in a sense, happen to us. They were all playing as individuals. I heard them saying, ?We?re not a team.? I don?t want that on my team. I want our team to be great. I want our team to be one. For us to win it our junior year and not win it our senior year, that?d be pretty hurtful. So we?re going to give it all we got.?[/QUOTE]

I hope nobody puts to much stock in this article. The "staff writer" thinks Jenkins has already "signed" with WVU.

 

[HotMic]

I think the writer should have "dug deeper" into this story.

 

[RB07OSU]

Lol...this writer needs to get a clue. Seriously, sometimes I wonder how these guys are making money doing what they do.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

example #4,525,745,354 why you shouldn't get your recruiting info from newspapers. he may very well stick with WVU, but it's nothing concrete like that article says.

 

[willsonphilips]

I thought journalism was based on research? That is absolutely laughable, it appears the writer in question pulled an all-nighter to get this one in right before the deadline.

 

[OSUBuckeye4Life]

WVU fans are saying that the journalist usually covers NASCAR, not college recruiting.

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

it appears the writer in question pulled an all-nighter to get this one in right before the deadline.

i agree, willsonphilips. in the future, the journalist should hold on for one more day.
