Yes.

Looks like they were cold up there......Denton's so much warmer

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

Mom & Pops in a Purdue jacket is not a good sign unless they were given to them by the school.  You would think if the parents purchased the jackets its a done deal right???

[UNTLifer]

That Purdue offer has been out there for a while.  Home is where the heart is.

Yeah, but the fact that he just took an official there shows he's definitely interested.

C'mon Jordan.   Stay home, be great here & be part of a new chapter/legacy at UNT!

Good point. Those jackets don't look cheap either

& the Purdue offer is the pinned one on his Twitter profile.

The fact that he hasn't committed (don't recruits usually commit to their top school while on an official visit there?) gives me a little hope he's gonna make the right choice.

[southsideguy]

does he know how cold it gets up there.

That has been pinned since he got offered.  He is not concerned with size of the school. Loves the UNT staff and what they're building.  He's staying home. In my opinion.

I hope you're right! As a long time resident of Denton, I love when kids stay home and play for the home team. I do understand their motive to get out of a small town and try and make something of themselves but why move 14 hours away from momma? You can eat home cook meals here in Denton whenever you want, be a part of a changing football culture and get one hell of an education! Im biased though

Those are all things he mentioned when we chatted at a recent game when he was talking to other recruits about what he liked about UNT.

Good deal. That and its a lot warmer down here in the winters and summer work outs will be a lot cooler with that indoor practice facility!!

[UNTLifer]

Lafayette, IN isn't bigger than Denton, so stay home in the "big city" and still get home cooking.
