How big does an OLB need to be??
never trust an SEC team and their practice to oversign

Talked to an LSU fan on the national board of 24/7.
He noted that a lot of LSU fans wanted Jones, but that there is a lot of in-state talent this year at LB. When Jones didn't make the camp, that pretty much sealed the deal. Barton Simmons says he will likely end up a mid-3* for 24/7 Sports for those counting stars.
Over at Tiger Droppings, there are some comments on Jones' ability and some about how the staff may have made a mistake not continuing after him. In the words of the original poster at Tiger Droppings, "The man, the myth, the legend who couldnt find a ride 40 minutes away is off the board." That of course is a comment about not making camp, but still a good comment.
I'm ready to see this kid's film. Sounds like one hell of a player from everything I'm reading and hearing.

This kids dad is no fool....went to school with one of the LSU coaches...as he said 'I understand the buisness'....the dad that is....not every kid in the south goes ot an SEC team and I'm sure many understand that whole gig of oversigning....

Said his coach: “He’s not going to be one of those guys shuffling around hats on Signing Day,”
If Pelini wants him, he's one of the best. Welcome to the Huskers. Mr. Jones!
His dad is quoted calling him "Debo" so with that nick-name he is a natural LB in Bo's defense. De(for Deion) Bo(for his favorite defensive coach).... How could he go anywhere else!!
In the 80's when our big road grader punishing ground game would play FSU or Miami we got stopped dead because our lineman couldn't get to the Linebackers to block them because of the speed the backers flowed to the ball with. I have no problem with small and fast Linebackers if the have good instincts and a mean streak they can take over a football game.
I really like hearing that his father is a big part of this process...sadly more often than not some of these kids have an "advisor" that is not always looking out for whats best for the kid
"Debo". I guess we're lucky Clemson didn't come after him.
His dad grew up with the RB, recruiting cordinator and they had a death in the family and did not contact LSU and missed the camp where LSU said they would offer after the camp...he did not show up or call so they gave 2 scholarships that day to 2 Texas players and are now almost full......Dad is right and it is a business and time for them to move on to Husker Nation.
We will see what will happen if Alabama or LSU comes back with an offer.
Jones was waiting for an offer for the last 2 months from them and did not get it so he decided to check out NU on line and had the parents contact Raymond.

Hope we hit a home run when he visits on 3 Sept
Yes, we will definitely need to keep recruiting this kid. Hopefully, as his relationship with our coaches continues to grow, his desire for an Alabama or LSU offer becomes more and more a thing of the past.
Alabama is not likely to offer (he didn't fit the profile they like at LB) and LSU has a lot of other options at LB.
