Anyone aware of any contact, friendship, between Jenkins and Thomas or Givens?

From the UVA site....talks about his trip to Penn State. Says Virginia is very much in the running for his services. Plans on making trips to California, Oregon, Michigan, Florida and "all the states between" over the summer.

Call me crazy but I see little chance he ends up in Columbus, so I am moving this one to the '09 forum...

The Rounds Continue for Jenkins - Josh Barr's Recruiting Insider

The college coaches continue to filter into Good Counsel to visit with All-Met linebacker Jelani Jenkins.

Yesterday it was assistant coaches from UCLA, Stanford, Wake Forest and Michigan State, which was represented by Ted Gill -- "an old friend coming through since 1970," Good Counsel Coach Bob Milloy said.

On Monday, Penn State's Ron Vanderlinden and Larry Johnson were at the Olney school. Last week, Michigan, Notre Dame and Virginia were among those to come through.

While Jenkins already has been to a handful of schools in the region, Milloy expects the player to take three recruiting trips this summer as he attempts to narrow his choices: one to the sunshine state to visit Florida and Miami; one to the West Coast to see UCLA, USC and Stanford; and one to the rust belt, for Ohio State, Michigan and Notre Dame.

"He's going to go there and check them all out and hopefully he'll have a feeling and like one of them more than the others," Milloy said.

Yes, I saw an article somewhere that current teammates/PSU commits Givens and Willis are talking to Jenkins; Thomas is close friends with Givens so he's likely involved too. Dunno how well they know Jenkins though.

From TheWolverine....Plans on taking several unofficials this summer, one of which could be Michigan. At this point, he doesn't have a plan on when he'll make a decision, but will visit several schools before deciding. Looking for a place where he feels comfortable, early playing time, a good program and coaches.
