He is a safety.Brandon Kirby-Wolverlora Simon said
We will fin out whether this is good or bad early in february. Can't blame a kid for being excited about getting an offer from cal. And it really speaks to the talent Charlie is bringing on board that this is happening to kids we have committed.
The reaction he got on twitter was resounding about the cal offer. Hopefully we can keep him locked down. Could be a really good linebacker for us.Posted On: Dec 18th 2014, 1:50 PM #339836

Cal has 2 4* and 14 3* commits with two of them being db's. And Cal went 5-7 this past season, not 1-11 but they did lose 6 of their last 7 with a PAC12 version of our D, meaning pretty bad.

2013 record 1–11 (0–9 Pac-12)
2013 = LAST YEAR
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

He is an OLB / SS type. With our thin lb core I'm assuming we want him at OLB, where he projects especially at 210 lbs already with room to put more on.

Hard to see him staying on with a major program offering now. However, he just cancelled his Pitt visit (probably due to Paul Chryst leaving though). Other than Cal, his other offers are Alcorn State, Alabama State, and Buffalo.

No he's being recruited by FAU as a LB.

FAU is a the bottom of C-USA and gets beat regularly by C-USA teams.Local Owl said
I may sound like a homer, but I don't feel like Cal. has an advantage over us. They have things to offer ,but so do we. We are also in his home state. Cal is at the bottom of the PAC 10 and regularly get beat by the other PAC 10 schools. I guess it is all in what he is looking for. I hope he lets the coaches know so they can plan accordingly.Posted On: Dec 19th 2014, 4:41 PM #339865
We will see what happens is hard to beat Brekely education.
We will see what matters to him if Charlie is the recuriter we think he is he will get Jones to stick.

My point is we both are losers. Hahahaha. It will come down to if he wants to stay in Florida. I was going to say "close to home", but Panama City is a long way from Boca. You're right though, lets see if Magic Chuck can keep a recruit that is swaying. This kid would make a nice OLB. 210 lbs. now, college strength coaches will quickly have him at 225. Maybe more in 3-4 years. My question with him is other than Cal and pitt and FAU, the interest drops way way off. What gives ?Posted On: Dec 19th 2014, 5:50 PM #339867
Project type of kid. He's the "well is he a safety or is he a linebacker?" debate that staffs will have for hours.
If you're FAU, you take the talent, because you need the speed with the spread offenses that everyone is running these days. FYI, Archer also falls into this category.
The Panhandle is also weird when it comes to recruiting in general. I personally think it's an untapped market. Mosley High hasn't had a kid sign with an FBS school in 4 years, and the Owls also found Jones after that satellite camp in Tallahassee.
Now, the Cal interest is fascinating. They have signed just one kid from Florida in the past 12 years, and that was a kicker out of Jacksonville. I would like to know what drove them across the country.
