Good stuff, thanks man. I look forward to seeing him continue to trim that list down. I think we have as good a chance as anyone if he comes here for an official. Maybe we can get him and some other big time recruits in for USC. Night game in the shoe will be electric.

I believe he's planning on committing on his birthday, in July. So any official visits he takes will be after he commits.

Its not that hard to see the field at WR... plus he's a different type of WR so he'd bring something different to the table.

Besides that if a kid is one of the best WR's in the country I don't think he'll be scared away be competition.

Gainesville WR Tai-Ler Jones narrows to 15, eliminates Georgia Tech

By Michael Carvell | Monday, March 2, 2009, 06:37 AM
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution


Gainesville wide receiver Tail-Ler Jones, one of the nation?s leaders in early offers with around 30, trimmed his last to 15 schools on Sunday evening.
Ohio State, Oklahoma, North Carolina, UCLA, Alabama, Notre Dame, California, South Carolina, Miami, Auburn, Tennessee, Clemson, Michigan, Michigan State and Vanderbilt made the cut.
?I think I?ve taken visits to most of these schools,? Jones told the AJC. ?I?m just going off my visits, the background information I have about academics, and the relationships I?ve developed with the coaching staffs. That?s how I got my list.?
Jones eliminated Georgia Tech. ?They have a great program and great coaches. However, with the triple-option offense, I just don?t think it would be a good fit for me.?
Jones also didn?t include Georgia, where he is scheduled to make an unofficial visit on March 21. ?They have yet to offer. But if they do offer, like with any school, I?ll assess them and look at all those aspects. If I feel like that school is good for me, then I will put them on the list and bump another school off.?
Jones said he hopes to narrow down to five schools by the end of the spring, and then announce his college decision on his birthday, July 19.

What?s in a name? Tai-ler Jones is no ?everyday Joe?

By Scott Bernarde | Thursday, March 5, 2009, 02:25 PM
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Sooner or later, the question comes when a recruiter makes his first call to the home of Gainesville wide receiver Tai-ler Jones, one of the state?s top-rated football prospects for 2010.
?Now, how do you pronounce it?? says father Andre Jones of the most common question regarding the unusual spelling of his son?s first name.
For the record, it?s pronounced TY-ler, though most first-tries pin it as TAY-ler.
?You name it, we?ve heard it,? said Andre Jones, a member of Notre Dame?s 1989 national championship team. ?It definitely sets him apart from the everyday Joe. But all in all it?s been a great conversation piece.?
The name was the idea of Andre Jones, who thought the spelling was a fitting way to honor his wife?s Asian heritage. Michele was born in Korea, according to Tai-Ler. Her father is Korean and her mother is from Hawaii.
?I remember doing an interview and he called my Taylor, then asked how to pronounce it,? Tai-Ler said. ?Then [he] was like, wow, he?s never seen it spelled that way.
?I like the name because it?s unique. Everyone, once they see my name, because it?s so different they remember it and can put my name with my face. All the recruiters say they like my name and have never seen it spelled the way I spell it.?
Jones hasn?t needed the unusual spelling of his name to get noticed. He caught 81 passes for 1,000 yards and 21 touchdowns. He runs a 4.5 time in the 40. He scored a 25 on the ACT.
His resume has attracted around 30 offers, which he recently narrowed down to the top 15: Ohio State, Oklahoma, North Carolina, UCLA, Alabama, Notre Dame, California, South Carolina, Miami, Auburn, Tennessee, Clemson, Michigan, Michigan State and Vanderbilt. Jones said he is no longer considering the scholarship offer from Georgia Tech, while Georgia has yet to offer.

Free vid of Tai-ler at a 7-on-7. His routes look just as smooth as Posey's.

Great comparison. Ambles may be faster but Jones is the better WR at this point. Smooth out of his cuts, runs great routes, great body control, attacks the ball, great hands, and good speed. He was beating a very good DB in Alec Ogletree and the other guys didn't appear to be slouches either. I'm thinking Tai-ler is a 5 star more than ever. I would love to see Joyner vs. Jones in one on one...in Columbus on a regular basis :biggrin:
