Incorrect rumor. Very wrong.

Jamel was very excited having received an offer from ND. during his visit at the Michigan game, he was able to spend time talking to the coaches and the McCarthy brothers who were his hosts; he played against Dan last year.

The visit went well, and the offer exciting, but this will be a long recruitment for a player who says he isn't thinking much about recruiting right now. says he is focused more on his Jr season and getting better.

His other schools of interest are Ohio State, Michigan Michigan State, Iowa, USC, West Virginia, North Carolina, Notre Dame, and Akron.

Very tragic. I wish him and his family the best.

I saw on another board that he may have passed away. Hope it's not true. A 17 year old girl was also murdered in the same incident.

Terrible

Yes it is.. Kid was a stud and bright future ahead of him.

Wow. Unreal. Some people should get fired...

I can't find any other info other than Buckeye message boards, but prayers to the family of the young babe that was killed, and prayers for Jamel.

 

[TerryTate]

He's now in stable condition. Good news, I hope he fully recovers. My condolences to the girl's family.

Anybody can be in the wrong place at the wrong time or piss off the wrong person, but this is the SECOND time he's been shot. If you get shot on two separate occasions you are either the most unlucky @#$% on the face of the planet or choices you have made in life have put you in situations that increase the chance somebody is going to shoot you. Obviously this kid needs a change in life style..
