In fact mom & grandma are both graduates of WVU (while the uncle is an Ohio State alum).

I reserve the right to make fun of my kin.

Regardless of what decision Josh makes he is going to upset at least one fanbase. If he comes to Ohio State the WVU faithful will label him a traitor while if he sticks to his original decision and stays home some Buckeye fans will accuse him of playing games and leading OSU on.

Hopefully Josh will make the decision that is best for him and not one that is meant to placate a group of (often over involved) fans.

I would never bash Muck's family or state(he owns too many nice guns!)

From a column on Brendan Beal - mentions that he heard Jenkins may decommit, FWIW.

[BuckeyeNation27]

Everybody who follows recruiting has heard that Jenkins may decommit.

Yep - just thought this was worth posting because it was a direct quote from Beal, not just someone who follows recruiting. Anyways, it was a FWIW post, which, apparently, is not that much to you, BN27

meow...pffffft....pffttt.

Anyway, this would obviously be good news and a big public step. We hoped/suspected it was coming but getting that out of the way frees him up to join block O...verbally...officially...whatever.

Josh should make it a package deal... Him and Pryor together...
but then Josh also gets to play GUARD on the basketball team too...

Josh leads down the lane... Terrelle comes behind for the layup

[BuckeyeNation27]

The reason I posted what I did wasn't to be disagreeable or to be a jerk, it was to point out that maybe Beal heard that Jenkins might decommit the same way all of has had heard it.

In other words, don't read too much into it.

I also have lots of family in WV, although it's in Wheeling, which is really almost like Eastern Ohio. My dad is from Wheeling and much of his family still lives there, although two of his siblings were wise enough to move to Columbus.

Edit: in order to stay on topic, let me say that I think Josh would make a great addition to our team should he decide to come here.

Wow WVU fans can't feel REAL good about that pic you posted

the entire state of wv is within the columbus, ohio hinterland. so it only makes sense to me.

Only 2 hours away to be exact...

That is one fantastic looking future O-line!

By Lichtenfels. Confirms that car trouble was the reason he was not at the Ohio State camp. Plans on visiting Columbus in July with his mother. Also talks of a trip to Florida State around that very same time frame.

You have to like the comments made about the "contacts" he has.

Talks about the local pressure he has been recieving. Also talks about his relationship with Coach Bollman and the "rumors" of recruiting Pryor to WVU.

The last portion of the "local pressure" portion really jumped out at me.
