Like how he has patience to wait for his blocks to develop and then when he hits the whole, he explodes.. Very fast, and love the pad level when a hit is coming, drops the shoulder and picks up those extra yards.

He wants to be a Rb and he does seem like a TJ Yeldon type back

He's not close to the size of Yeldon. He's only 6' 185 where as Yeldon is 6'2" 220. I don't see Jones as a between the tackle thumper like Yeldon. He'll be good, just a different style IMO.

I think he was responding to Koons post above his about Soso playing wr, not about Jones.

Running back with dreads and it only takes 4 tacklers to bring him down. Do Not Want.

Per TV he will be accompanied by his mother on his OV. As of now USC is the primary competition to OK St. He'll also be OVing to USC the following weekend so he'll see ND twice in back to back weeks. Definite take at RB and would ND would make room for both Jones and Soso if they wanted in.

OK state usually puts decent backs in the league. There is one on the 49ers right now.

Its not an insane list but they actually have a lineage of quality RB's that goes back to Thurman Thomas/Barry Sanders and more recently Kendall Hunter and Joseph Randle. Also, the offense has put up a lot of points over the last several years and if your in an offense that scores points you're more than likely going to be the recipient of some of those scores.

Vision is his most impressive attribute imo. He really does a great job of seeing the holes and exploding through them, better then most HS RBs. He's my top want in this class.

He looks better than Soso imo because his vision is extraordinary, although Soso has a "wow factor" that Ronald has not. Anyway, he looks great, a Jamaal Charles type of back.

Also, he has a little classroom work to do. They didn't state what specifically just that he has some to do.

Those situations haven't gone our way recently haha.

Unless I'm putting too much weight behind the big instances, and disregarding when it's worked in our favor.

I said it before, there's nothing that wow's me here. I hope he proves me wrong if he signs at ND.

The real question though...can either pass block, or at least learn to?
