Again, Jamar lists his favorite as Florida with Georgia Tech, Georgia, USC and Michigan rounding out his top 5. He does not know if he will camp this summer as his coach told him he should not need to do so.

Jamar is being recruited as a safety by tOSU. Maurice Wells told him to take all of his visits and keep tOSU in mind. He may camp this summer, but it is undecided thus far.

His favorite schools are Michigan, Florida and USC. He is going to graduate early from high school. He possibly could have a decision soon.

This article is a spin-off from the earlier article doen by South Carolina. However, this involves the pro-Michigan spin where Jamar discusses Michigan's early offer and the author even sees Maurice Wells at tOSU as an advantage for the Wolverines. Jamar claims that he had a problem leaving state at first, but that problem no longer exists.

 

[CleveBucks]

If he's going to make a decision soon, you gotta think he's a Gator lock. Has he even visited USCum or scUM?

Jamar has over 22 offers, with Oklahoma offering recently as a wide receiver. Hornsby says Florida is recruiting him the hardest.

Jamar has Michigan and Florida leading, with Georgia Tech in third, and USC and Georgia rounding out his Top 5. He planned a mid-May decision but pushed it back to further consider the issue.

is it pessimism creeping into my psyche or is the OSU staff getting out recruited OOS?

Its only May...anyone who commits this early usually has an "unrecruitable" connection.

 

[G8erBait]

They aren't getting out-recruited. Hornsby is arguably the state of Florida's best prospect. As good as OSU is, you can't expect to get the #1 prospect out of Florida. The one constant in everything has been Florida. It was Florida and OSU, then Florida and FSU, Florida and G. Tech, Florida, Michigan and USC and now Florida and Michigan. Hey, I am sure OSU fans would rather see Hornsby at Florida than USC or Michigan. :)

 

[osugrad21]

Agreed. Well put.

Jacksonville WR A Major Attraction

By Phil Kornblut
WR Jamar Hornsby (6-4 195) of Jacksonville, FL counts over 25 offers at this point including USC and Clemson, but the Gamecocks and Tigers are not in his current top five. That would be Southern Cal, Michigan, Florida, Georgia and Georgia Tech. Hornsby says he's also interested in Texas, Oklahoma, LSU and Ohio State. Hornsby also plays both safety positions but says most of the schools would want him to start out on offense. Lat season he had 20 catches for 720 yards and 9 touchdowns. On defense he had 135 tackles and 7 interceptions. At one point Hornsby was on the fast track towards a decision, but that's no longer the case. "I was going to have my mind made up in the middle of May but my mom wants me to wait and explore my options, so that's what I'm going to do."
