Pulling an offer after Baldwin is pretty dumb so I don't believe that. We will just wait and see but I'm not getting my hopes up. He has said over and over again and recently that he is fully committed and it pisses me off that the media has made such an outrage directly towards him asking if he is indeed fully committed which I'm sure bothers him.

*shrug* Dunno. Supposedly OSU isn't even sending him a LOI so he definitely isn't signing with the Buckeyes on Wednesday. Sounds like it'll be either Florida or FSU.

You know what? Chicken butt.
I’m going to watch what I say but a few pages back I said there was something I just wasn’t comfortable with here. The OSU depth chart was the same for a long time after he first went verbal. It could lessen by one if Burrow got frustrated and transferred. Baldwin only happened much later. So he knew what he was getting into with tOSU from the beginning. And yet something was never quite right.
Could it be he just wants to stay south?
Could it be he wants an easy path to early PT?
Could he be easily intimidated?
Who knows, I’m sure it’s a combination of all the above. But what I do know is that he has looked for a reason NOT to be here for a long time and that’s not good for anyone.
Good luck EJ.

Elite southern player wavers but still eventually signs with osu. Then he doesn’t play year 1 and gets visibly frustrated, and doesn’t play year 2, becomes a distraction and transfers. We’ve seen this before and if the staff saw that as the likely ending I could see them pulling the scholarship. It was fine when he was all buckeye, a guy that Wants to be a buckeye will wait it out for 3 years and will battle for playing time transfer if he loses. If that’s what you begin to expect and you have needs at OT and DE why use up a scholly?

I do not choose to discuss it
Maybe it’s a situation of going from, “hey, you’re our future QB and we need you and are really excited to lock up your commitment” to, “hey, you’re a great kid and we’ve really enjoyed recruiting you, you do you and we know you’ll make a good decision and have a bright future.”
No longer recruiting him doesn’t necessarily mean they turned on a dime and started treating him badly.

What happened to my ¤cash?
The requirement for the hat game should be LOI faxed to the player.

What good does that do? And what are the chances that Bill Greene and Marc Givler are both wildly uninformed about such an extreme stance?

“You can’t fire me! I quit!”
I always liked EJ. Have been real impressed with his throws and was beyond thrilled when he committed. That said, I wish him the best of luck wherever he goes. And if he goes to a team like Florida and happens to have a rough go of it, I might find myself smirking a tiny bit. Such is reality.
Edit: @tonystarx beat me to it

Jones flirted for too long with too many teams. Ohio State, Bama, and Auburn all basically walked away, leaving Florida as the last team left.
A kid who is "fully committed" doesn't visit other schools. He especially doesn't visit multiple other schools multiple times. Jones has not been an Ohio State commitment, in any real sense of that word, for a long time now.
Look at the timing of the Baldwin commitment (right after the in-home with Jones) if you don't believe that Ohio State finally got fed up and walked away from Jones.

Not only the Baldwin timing, but the fact that we also pursued the kid that was committed to UK that is now committed to Miami who's name escapes me.
There is no doubt in my mind the in home didn't go well in Urban eyes for one reason or another so Bam, Baldwin was given a spot. If I had to guess, Baldwin had been recruited for quite some time and hopefully told he was "next man up" if something happened to Jones.
