'08 WV OL Josh Jenkins (West Virginia Signee)

[RB07OSU]

Not only did he get that blatantly wrong but they also could have quoted him on saying he remains committed to WVU if that was true, not just write it. He could have covered local gardening before this article and he should have known better to just say something he wasn't sure about without a quote. I learned this in sophmore English.

It?s physically demanding when you do those one-on-one drills, especially if you?re an offensively lineman.

Lots of talk about Notre Dame, but no mention of WVU or OSU. Possibly a slanted article from Irish Eyes ....

Scout $ (WVU)

05/14

Nothing new. Also nothing about his interest in any other program other than WVU.

I have a feeling that a lot of people are going to be disappointed.

WVU fans are nervous...believe me.

 

[JCOSU86]

WVU fans are nervous...believe me.

For good reason, from what I can gather here.

 

[RB07OSU]

WVU fans are nervous...believe me.

They are and that is why it's so funny to see them on the scout boards saying he is 99.9% a Mountaineer and that OSU has no shot.

That's quite the prognostication given that it'll apply no matter where Jenkins ends up. lol

Can we get a v-bet set up for the question

Bigger meltdown on the neers' board

A-The day Jenkins decommits
or
B-The day #3 hit the wall

Per my homie Mike Farrell on Rivals Radio this AM, Mike expects JJ to be a Buckeye. He said that it will be hard for JJ to pass up an opportunity to be a part of Block O w/ Adams, Brewster, and Shugarts.

MF said he could see it going either way, but coupling the departure of the 'Neers OL coach, someone "everyone would like to play for", and the pressure JJ is getting from other tOSU recruits, MF thinks JJ will be a Buckeye in the end.

MF didn't feel like JJ would be ready to switch for quite sometime...so this thing could drag out for awhile.

 

[RB07OSU]

If it happens, I would expect it to happen much later rather than sooner...see Ben Martin (I know he never verbally commited but same concept).

 

[wadc45]

You mean Ben never publicly verbally committed...another topic for another thread.

Exactly but yeah...don't announce your actually going to head out of the home state so you don't upset all the locals.

If Josh were inclined to head to Columbus, I would expect him not to announce it until the last possible minute -- to avoid the tremendous home-state pressure an early de-commit would bring down on him.

I have no idea what the young man is really thinking, but I'd bet JT has a pretty good idea. If we start seeing heavy OSU recruiting activity around another OL, we'll know JJ's likely decision, IMHO. If we don't, I'd guess that JT feels pretty good about our chances. In Tress we trust.
