More big receivers in the funnel. If Black is closer to 6-4 as some have described him, Jones is closer to 6-6. This all day.

Interesting. A lot of recruits are going to have to show us their hand. I like it!

From Allen Trieu @ Scout:

Sophomore WR Jones Receives Sixth Offer - Football Recruiting - Scout

"[I'll camp at] Michigan State or Notre Dame. I just found out Irish Invasion and Michigan State camps were on the same day, so I'll choose which one soon and I also want to get out to a Cal camp to expose myself to the Pac-12. I also might be doing a Texas A&M camp."

 

[BobbyMac]

Chose Irish Invasion over going to MSU's camp. Good sign. Hope he performs well and hope he gets an offer.

He is not a WR. He will have to be a TE in college.

Based on what? Size or lack of speed?

4* TE can't be all bad.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Looked good on tape from II. Wouldn't be mad if we ended up offering

They have never had any good receivers. This means nothing, he still can't catch.

GB you wanna tell me again how crazy it is that I said the staff needs to offer this guy like I did 3 days ago?

I'll eat my crow, not sure I like the offer but I'm happy for Micah and his family Wouldn't mind seeing him as an OLB. Seems we don't have a WR under 6'3

I didn't call you crazy man it was just my opinion and what others have told me. The staff knows a hell of a lot more then I do I was just speaking my opinion. You were right and I was wrong, I'll take my ball and go home.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

Watched his tape again. The kid is tall and big now, he will keep on growing and gaining weight. There is no chance he plays WR at the college level.

Careful Sherm, don't paint yourself into a corner.

6-4.5, 194 at the Opening Regional in Chicago last month.

Could go either way.

 

[calvegas04]

Could go either way.

He could get smaller?

 

[BobbyMac]

The Irish threw an offer out to Class of '18 WR Micah Jones from Illinois today

He dropped it.

When watching his tape do you see a smooth athlete at WR? Or do you see a big kid who is a possession WR, but would be a dynamic TE?

Lot of us thought Corey Robinson may grow to a TE, then it was maybe Miles Boykin.

I thought both them had better WR tape the Jones. Especially Boykins.

Hey I was prolly in one of those groups calling for eventual position switch. Just hard to protect future growth for some of these guys.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

He isn't exceptionally fast but who has access to his birth certificate? Looks like a senior out there in his sophomore film. If he keeps growing, LB fo sho.

Listened to BGI and ISD and both hosts reckon Jones is a better prospect than Boykin and its not close

Doesn't surprise me. People are comparing Jones to CRob and MB but at what ages? I never even saw CRob or MB's soph film.
