'08 WV OL Josh Jenkins (West Virginia Verbal)

[Irishknight1023]

I put my money on him going to OSU. I think he is only staying a verbal to WVU because the local pressure and he'll wait until the last minute to pull a switcheroo.

You might be right, but in the end, I think he ends up at WV.

This Rock & Roll recruiting rollercoster sounds a bit better for WVU.....

“I’m committed to WVU,’’ he said for what must be the 1,000th time. “I want to see the country. I can understand [WVU fans being] nervous if I de-committed. But I’m still committed.’’

Understandably, though, the services have given that commitment a “soft’’ tag.

“It’s really not,’’ he said. “There’s no such thing. Either you’re committed or you’re not. That’s where people get carried away.

“It’s not soft. You’re either committed or you’re not.’’

But what of the planned visits to other schools? What does that say to the WVU coaches and fans?

“I’d say this to them: Would you take these visits?’’ he said. “Would you take them and see other parts of the country?’’

---------Isn't he taking all of these unofficials on his own dime? I'd understand if it was the fall and you weren't paying, but I wouldn't want to be driving everywhere on my own money If I have absolutely no interest in going there. Hmm we'll see about him, but if I'm other coachs I just give up because he's not worth the hassle.

Looks like WVU will probably not get him in the end. If he is good enough to get other offers from big time programs, then most likely we will end up where ever they show him the most love.

Better than ever? How could it be better than the day he verballed?

He's says he's still committed but he's going to places like Columbus, South Bend, Ann Arbor, and Gainesville.

He says,

"I want to see the country"

What does that say to the WVU coaches and fans?

“I’d say this to them: Would you take these visits?’’ he said. “Would you take them and see other parts of the country?’’

You don't go to Columbus, South Bend, Ann Arbor, and Gainesville to "see the country". You don't go to Ann Arbor; you go to The Great Lakes.
You don't go to South Bend; you go to Chicago.
You don't go to Gainsville; you go to the Florida Keys.

Poeple that want to "see the country" don't go to cities with major football programs they go to the Grand Canyon, San Francisico, The Tetons, The Outer Banks, The Mississippis River, Nawlins, The Alamo, Vegas, and hundreds of other places.

If he was taking Officals at least you could say, "Hey, their paying for a free trip to Florida, (Ohio or wherever)" he getting frequent flyer miles.

But he's paying for these trips on his dime. If he was going to Chicago to see the Cubs, or the Bears, or eat his first deep dish pizza and making a stopover in Ann Arbor on the way, he could say he's "seeing the country". But he's not. Specific college campuses are where he's going. Campuses that have offered his a scholarship.

He's looking. He may well end up in Morgantown but he's looking.
