His HS team beat Chad Kelly's team 40-20 yesterday. Kelly is committed to Clemson.

His facebook doesn't have anything about it.

He did list his first game's stats. 9 tackles and 3 passes deflected. No sacks. Someone asked him how he has no sacks and he replied that the QB just launches the ball when he hits them.

Amazing what a single visit can do. Fingers crossed for Agholor and Keith Marshall.

Many feel that Jones is too tall to play defensive tackle at the next level and he would be better suited for the offensive line. For the nation's No. 78 player, he prefers defense but will play wherever he can help the team.

"It's not about me, it's about the team and wherever Notre Dame wants me is where I'll suit up and play," he said. "I think I'm better on defense, but I used to play offensive tackle and like I said whatever they want they will get from me. Right now I'm playing tight end on offense but I do some blocking of course. But in Notre Dame's defense, it's a 3-4 and they want me as a five technique end anyhow, and I play a lot of that in high school. I'm just working hard to get ready."

This is what I want to hear. This kid is a man among boys already.

Jones was all set to choose between the Hokies and Tar Heels and might be committed to one of the two right now if it weren't for a nudge from his father.

"I grew up a Virginia Tech fan and I liked it down there a lot," he said. "And North Carolina was really nice, it had everything I wanted. But my dad is a huge Notre Dame fan, I mean huge. And he told me we were visiting South Bend before anything was decided, just to check it out. I told him it was a waste of a weekend and a waste of time and I wasn't going, plain and simple."

Why was Jones so hesitant to make the trip to Notre Dame?

"I hated Notre Dame, hated them growing up," he said. "My dad loved them and everyone else in my family hated them. He knew that and I told him it was a waste. But I went along anyhow and then everything changed."

The article was just posted today on II. Pretty great. My dad is the reason I love ND. They used to set up the big screen on Saturdays for me at local Moose lounge when I was a kid and my dad was still in his, as my mom calls it, "drinking phase". LOL.

Opposite of Chris Brown.

Also, to hell with the people who want him at OT. Can't wait to see him on the DL.

I'm with you. I just like the team-oriented style of these kids we are getting as recruits. These guys are going to ND to win championships. Makes me salivate.

One of the reasons that Big Jarron should be smiling at his football future is the thought that everything is set up for him to be playing in a futuristically powerful D-Line wherein every position is manned with All-American potential two+deep. By the time that he gets here, Coach Diaco will have become totally fluent in the substitution patterns at game speed and the Nix/Lynch/Tuitt/ Jones/Day/Okwara Schwenke/Springmann/Hounsell [I'm dreaming of us in two years that's why no KLM] mauler-brawlers will be littering the field with the shrapnel of enemy offenses, and writers and commentators from all around the country will be referring to NDs Green Giant in the same breath as LSU and Alabama.

THAT would be my best "selling point" for a young superman: do you want to play with giants? Do you want to be legend? Nix and Lynch have already shown this to be true. Tuitt is very nearly there too. This is no fantasy.
