All ND sites are extremely confident in Jones know which leads me to believe something happend

What's weird to me is that Michigan people still consider him a lock. So what are the odds he told both staffs he is coming?

Do you mean he's a silent? I'm all for guys using up their visits but even I would have a beef as a recruiter if I got a silent from a player and then he wants to go see the other team in the mix practice in his home town.

Maybe that's just me.

...and seeing Steve LowRes update it just makes it worse.

Steve Lorenzo is a homer, I have no idea if he is a silent honestly but it wouldn't shock me at all. All of a sudden within two days all ND sites went from 50/50 to feeling good. Sometimes it's not what people say but more of the actions being in place.

Such a sage nowadays.

Ivins thinks he ends up at ND right now

ones (Rivals.com's No. 19 inside linebacker) has stated in the past that he likes Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh, but Blue & Gold Illustrated continues to hear good things about where things stand with the Irish, especially after defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin left Michigan for Maryland. Toss in the fact that Jones' father has a hand in the final decision, and things are trending the right way for Notre Dame for the athletic linebacker that can play in space.

Yea, he once again admitted that his dad is all ND when talking with Ivins. I get the sense that maybe the kid likes UM slightly but Dad likes ND a lot more, so what wins out?

Maybe Kelly should get over there and build a tree-house with the kid or something? Really only half kidding.

parents typically win out if they put their foot down. Which I am not a fan of, at all. Have to let a kid make the decision for himself and to live with it.

Malik McDowell's mom tried hi-jacking his recruiting process and forcing him to go to Michigan while his heart was set on Michigan State. In the end he waited until a little bit after NSD to get everything worked out with his mom, and he ultimately wound up at Michigan State. And I was very happy about that. I didn't want a kid at Michigan that really wanted Michigan State but was being forced into it by mom. It takes so much commitment and dedication and hard-work to be great at the college level. If a players heart isn't in it 100% and he's not 100% committed to the school it'll just never ever work out.

Anybody else remember that Landon Collins' mom throwing a b*tch-fit on national tv when her son picked Alabama over LSU. It was a shame. I felt horrible for the kid, in what was suppose to be the biggest moment of his life, his mother totally ruined it.

While I agree that kids should be given a certain amount of rope with which to develop themselves, there are certain things that implore parental intervention. A decision as important as this should probably be one of them. I'm not saying this as an ND fan. I'm saying this as a parent.

Totally agree. If they are choosing between Duke and Stanford, whatever. But Duke and, say, Houston? Can't let them waste a huge opportunity slip them by without a fight. Your experience trumps theirs by a wide, wide margin.

Is Jones good enough to play the waiting game this long? I've never understood waiting until the final hour to commit somewhere if you aren't a clear-cut 5* talent.
