'10 GA WR Tai-ler Jones (Notre Dame Verbal)

[xcrunner]

Our depth chart is pretty full too. Only Small is a senior.

I think ours is much more favorable, at least at first impression. Georgia's is filled with top WR's in the country, definite 5*... I could be wrong but I believe we only have one 5*, in Posey? We have a ton of 4* studs, but not good enough (or, more accurately, not rated highly enough) to make someone like Jones too scared.

I looked at their scout rankings and I don't see much of a difference. Both schools have recruited about the same.

UGA makes up ground quickly with Gainesville WR Tai-ler Jones
March 23, 2009, by Michael Carvell

Georgia?s scholarship offer to Gainesville wide receiver Tai-ler Jones has performed instant wonders for the Bulldogs and their chances of landing the top 2010 prospect.

UGA made the final list of seven schools on Monday with Jones, who is also considering Notre Dame (his father?s alma mater), Ohio State, North Carolina, UCLA, California, and Stanford. Jones has also pushed up his decision date, saying he could make his college choice within the next couple of months.

Jones is one of the nation?s leaders in early offers with 31, including Clemson, Georgia Tech, and South Carolina. Georgia Tech did not make Jones? first cut of 15 schools because he did not feel like his skills were a match for the team?s offense.

A few days ago, Jones did not have an UGA offer and said he was going to attend track practice rather than Georgia?s Junior Day on Saturday. However, UGA coach Mark Richt called on Friday with an offer, and Jones quickly changed his plans to visit Athens.

Final 7 consists of Ohio State, Georgia, North Carolina, Notre Dame, UCLA, Cal and Stanford.

This could probably be split but over the last year or so the recruiting job of Jim Harbaugh has been pretty impressive. Stanford could really make a push to be more competitive in the PAC-10 in years to come.

I disagree. We are VERY thin at split end which is where Jones would play if I'm not mistaken. At slot, we have guys for days but we only have Posey and Carter at SE, you might put T Washington in there but I'm not sure.

Are you Duane Long? That's like word for word what he said.

LOL!

We will have nine currently-on-roster WRs, with Small graduating, when Jones staps on campus...of those, only Sanzenbacher and Posey have significant PT. Thomas and Washington have been used only occasionally, Torrence has been moved mainly to CB for now, and Schwartz has seen little time on field other than special teams. Stoneburner has yet to see the field and Carter, Fields, and Jackson are just coming in. I'd say the chances of Jones getting at least some PT as a true freshman, ala Sanzenbacher and Washington in 2007 and Posey and Thomas in 2008, are pretty decent.

Are you Duane Long? That's like word for word what he said.

Nope, but it's not secret how thin we are at SE and how deep we are at slot. Do you disagree with that or what?
But you are right, I read Duane say how thin we are at SE and I agree. Tai-ler is a split end I think, so really, we are very thing at SE.

Hmm, I think it's overblown and really not that big of a deal. WR is still WR. And Tai-ler seems versatile enough to play either slot or split end.

WR is still WR.

Pretty good sized difference between a SE and a slot.

I guess I will just have to agree to disagree with you then. Tai-ler is a guy that can run all the routes and beat you deep. That's a true split end. We only have two of them, both unproven. In my eyes, that makes us thin.

 

[WaitingforKickoff]

Duane thinks we are short at every position. He's always been an advocate of recruiting more linemen. He said we didn't have enough safeties. And now WRs. The fact of the matter is, we only have 85 to give, and you have to work with that.

Elite 2010 prospect Tai-ler Jones names a top seven

ESPNU 150 athlete Tai-ler Jones told affiliate Web site Bucknuts.com, "I made a top seven. It's Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Cal, UCLA, North Carolina and Stanford. I wanted to name a top five, but I just felt like I couldn't decide which two to cut. So I decided on a top seven."

Jones has visited Ohio State, Notre Dame and Georgia. He plans to visit North Carolina this weekend. A California trip to Cal, UCLA and Stanford over Jones' spring break could be next.

Programs such as Oklahoma, South Carolina, Miami, Michigan State, Tennessee and Clemson have been eliminated from contention.

The Gainesville, Ga. product, who plans to graduate early, added, "Chances are good I'll commit by the end of April."

Last fall, he caught 81 passes for 979 yards (12.1 average) and 12 touchdowns. On defense, he posted 28 tackles and two interceptions.

 

[MONTbigBuck]

For those more in the know than I am; any chance the Bucks would encourage using an official visit for the spring game with Jones, or even Montana for that matter? Both these guys keep reiterating that they will make an early decision, and if they aren't coming in on their own dime, it would seem very prudent to promote maximum exposure to OSU, pulling out all the stops before they committ someplace else. I would hate to loose out on any early committing athlete because he didn't have the resources to get to OSU, when we still had an official in the holster.
