Haha.

I recommend you read this thread if you don't know why Jenkins is interested.

I would refer to the quote of WVU and tOSU being even. If you are "commited" to one school, but there are 2 schools that you consider "even".... That isn't very commited.

Ditto...I would be very surprised if JJ didn't end up in Columbus.

if Jenkins is so interested then why did he commit? Explain that please.
I will repeat it. I will take him at his word and stand behind his acceptance position until I see otherwise.
As Far as I am concerned he will honor that commitment until he retracts it simply because I believe him to be honorable.
If he does retract it then that's great too if he chooses us ut until that happens I will not say otherwise.

He committed very early to a coach who is no longer at WVU, but at FSU who is now among his top suitors.

There are a flurry of articles making it clear he is mulling things over, and will announce his decision later in the year. 100% committed individuals don't have to decide anything.

If he is so committed to West Virginia, then why is he taking official visits to other schools? Explain that please.

While I do agree with you that Jenkins seems a soft verbal to WV at this time, Just remember, the same questions are being asked about a so called "lock" in Cordale Scott over on his forum. A common answer seems to be for the experience. In the end I think he waits till the end of the season and right now I see it as 50/50 OSU/WV. I would like to see him change his mind, but I'm not going to be suprised or upset if he doesn't.

[jwinslow]

Cordale isn't committed. Jenkins' school has not sent 10 straight buckeye offers to Ohio State, with a virtually identical pattern for announcing late.

Agreed on Cordale not being committed, but if I'm remembering correctly wasn't there some hubbub about J.B. Shugarts visiting LSU as well... but then again I'm not sure if that was an official visit.

Wouldn't that be supporting what LJB is saying? If JB was visiting other schools officially, there would be at least a measure of concern correct?

Thought it was worth note that our 2nd string O-line was in on for our entire 3rd TD drive. On that 2nd string line: not one, but TWO walk-ons (C Andrew Moses, LG Daniel Dye).

Although I'm sure he knows it already (thanks to Block O and the Brew Crew), but Josh has a huge opportunity to do something great at tOSU if he works hard.
