'08 WV OL Josh Jenkins (West Virginia signee)

[Holy Buckeye!]

I know this time of year gets tense but......

besides this kids' parents It's nobody decision but his. One thing I like about the constituents of the B-Planet is that people generally respect kids decision even if the decide to pursue there college experience elsewhere.

Josh is a young man with his OWN big choice and all this other conversation about how everybody else is behaving with pressuring him and all is pathetic and queer. I mean who cares how, where or when he makes his call. The point is simple it's his call! If he goes to Ohio State is the state of West Virgina going to burst into flames...? This is where recruiting shows its ass and really people need to get it in their heads that these are young folks that are trying to figure out their own path.

Good Luck to Josh and his family wherever he goes!

Reportedly there are threads on Rivals, Scout (on Ohio State $ and Free and on WVU boards) hinting that Jenkins has made his choice - and is staying home. I hope this turns out to be wrong. No formal announcement has been made as of now.

Still a phenomenal OL class without him. Good luck Josh. Maybe you'll get to play us in the NC game next year.

Is there an echo in here?

he probably isn't aware of how to properly quote...

kind of sad to not see the final (expected) piece of 'Block O' not come here. I had grown accustomed to the idea of Josh being a Buckeye, but as in every recruiting year there are surprises and ones that get away. good luck to Josh.

bingo The only one that I could even think about was when Pace and Golhstein, sp, came in the same year. Both 1st teamers on USA TODAY

Good luck Jenkins in WVA

Dang, now I'm going to have to change my sig.

I also don't think Josh is coming in as the best looking lineman (unless you think he's actually good looking in a non-football way). However, he may end up that way through hard work. I'd have to hand that accolade to Mr. Adams.

Do me a favor and look at that Scout HS All-American team posted a few posts back and tell me that going to WVU is like going to tOSU... can't see it at all.
I do agree that Josh needs to do what is right for Josh (yes, I am Captain Obvious), and despite the points above, it doesn't mean that WVU isn't a better place for Josh.

WOW! Nice job at having absolutely no idea what my post was all about. In cases like yours, next time I'll have to consider the "alternate" post which would have been sometihing like:
I'm sure Josh really likes TOSU and WVU but will probably go to WVU because he's from West Virginia. Also, I was going to make a joke here about Josh being the most handsome of all the OL recruits, but I'll pass because I'll probably be accused of being a homo. Now, "Mick" does that make more sense. My posts are often pointless, so don't beat yourself up looking for lines to read between, when the lines aren't there to begin with.

Oh yea, Congrats To Josh. Best of luck on having a great college career.

Shouldn't he have been the second 'H'?


Best of luck to Josh with the 'Neers.

Poor kid was overwhelmed by the whole process. Never felt good about him leaving West Virginia.
Goos luck to you, Josh!
