I agree, and the fact that Urban Meyer offered him tells me enough. Not because I trust Florida's coaches more but because Jackson has SEC SPEED!!!:biggrin:

The fact that Jim Tressel offered him tells me enough. I've seen his track results. He is a legit, 10.5 100 meter dash guy, as well as a sub 7 60 meter dash runner. Those are blazing.

Vico's always excellent "Better Know a Buckeye" feature of James:

In all fairness to James, Michigan isn?t the goldmine of recruiting that California, Texas, Florida, western Pennsylvania and even Ohio are. After his sophomore season, James had become a bit of a star attraction in his Grand Ledge hometown. Much of this was a result of his electrifying speed and his state championship in the 100m. However, that didn?t translate ? at least not immediately, as we?ll see ? to early offers. However, his exploits were enough to garner some attention from the in-state schools. His participation in summer camps made some of this possible. In late June, he attended a summer camp at Michigan, where he participated as a wide receiver prospect and was introduced to Lloyd Carr?s staff. The next week, Western Michigan held a satellite combine at his very own high school. In both camps, James Jackson clearly stood out, even making a big impression on Lloyd Carr?s coaching staff. Afterwards, James was receiving early consideration as Michigan?s top junior prospect and was subject to serious interest from around the state.

Trivial info but James told me he is going to move in on the 23rd with Storm Klein for Spring break and then room with Jamie Wood and CJ Barnett this spring. He is VERY excited about arriving on campus and is looking forward to putting on the S&G, so are his parents.

is that a number he'd like to stick with, or is that just his number while he waits his turn as a frosh?

I got the impression that it wasn't on his short list of desired numbers. He had told me he wanted 4, 6, or 9. I think he said that his friend Chris Fields was getting 9 and that Duron Carter was getting 4 and that Grant Schwartz is stil 6.
