Jayden Jones: LB Parish Episcopal: 3 star - .8416

BillySee58 · June 16, 2020

Picked up an offer from Kansas yesterday and Colorado State a few days before that.

BillySee58 · June 24, 2020

Added a couple more P5 offers in Colorado and Arizona. Up to 5 total P5 offers now. Gotta be pretty glad we were able to get him sold on us and committed to us so early on, but you have to recruit this guy like he’s your top target going forward, and not just a standard commit who’s just counting down the days to sign.

Why is it no surprise?

How are you not surprised? It’s this generation. They “commit” somewhere and then when they see greener lands they leave for them and are usually not heard from again

Oh, I know the generation. Sometimes I feel people are thinking all of our commits are just here because they have no other choice.

In all honesty, I am tired of the "form" tweet that says "respect me decision." Why don't you say that when you commit? How about honoring a commitment? Same crap every year with these kids. Respect is earned and you haven't done that. People like Christian Lee earn respect by committing, sticking with their commitment and then helping recruit other kids to the program.

I want more kids like Lee!

He changed high schools this year, that shouldn't surprise anyone. Oh well, best of luck playing for one of the bottom feeder P5 schools.

It will be his regret when he rides the pine at a P5 school instead of starting at North Texas... but hey it’s his call!

BillySee58 · July 12, 2020

FWIW, he deleted his tweet of him decommitting

Sounds like our top competition right now is Kansas and Colorado and he doesn’t exactly sound like he’s in a hurry to commit anywhere.

The takeaway I left with is he didn’t expect to receive so many offers when he initially committed to us and now that he’s received some P5 offers he wants to leave his commitment open so he can receive as many offers as possible and weigh his options at that point.

In all cases we stay in as long as we can. Hopefully, if he transfers he remembers

I’m calling Colorado.Just a guess, literally nothing behind it but a blackface cover and black question mark. I truly hope it’s still us and not a school that swooped in after us.
