'14 DC RB Jonathan Haden (Arizona Verbal)

[MD Buckeye]

Reminds me a ton of Ray Rice in his style...short but powerful, great catching the ball out of the backfield, great balance, and very shifty. I think he will be a great fit here.

This. Exactly who came to mind when watching the most recent vid posted.

Does it seem like the staff doesn't have him in as high priority as much as before or am I reading too much into it?

According to his Instagram, '14 RB Jonathan Haden is listing #Buckeyes #Vols #Arizona and #WestVirginia as his final four schools.

Haden confirmed to me that those are indeed his final four schools, but does not have a plan for a decision date. #buckeyes

Any other sources to confirm the verbal? Seems a bit...suspect?

It didn't seem like he and the staff had been on the same page for quite some time. Wish haden the best out in zona, he fits their offense very well
