Well it seems like this ship has sailed. I doubt Jones will ever enroll at OSU now that he has reopened his recruitment due to academics. Some have said it could be a 1-year prep school thing & he could try and come back to OSU, but college teams generally aren't gonna just hold a scholarship open for a kid in the hopes that he will academically qualify eventually.

They have those at junior college and prep school?

They had them in D2 in the early 2000s.

Seem to recollect that back in the day, D1 schools would stash players at a community college with ties to their university to get their academic ship in order. But that cost the recruit a year of eligibility, so they morphed to the prep school route in order to preserve that eligibility. Lost track of what's going on there, as big time schools not interested in wasting a schollie on someone who cannot cut it in the classroom. But there's always a university that without the academic requirements of, say a B10 school, that will grab that talent and put him in remedial classes (or somesuch bunny curriculum (curricului?). But yeah, he's gone.
