There were 4 clips of him in that video.. In the first 3, the other DB wasn't even CLOSE to him. Great routes get great separation... Would LOVE to land him...

Twice he beats Alec Ogletree, Rivals' #31 overall player in their latest top 100, in that film. The first time he burns him to a CRISP!

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - New Rivals250 loaded with big-time backs

Mr. 101
Being ranked as the 101st-best player in the country might be a disappointment to some, but to Gainesville (Ga.) High wide receiver Tai-ler Jones, it's motivation.

"In a way, it's disappointing because you're not in the main group, that top 100," said Jones, a 6-foot, 174-pounder. "It's motivation for sure. It makes you want to work harder so you secure a spot in the top 100 and make sure you're not left out. Next time I hope to be in the Rivals100."

Jones improved his stock Sunday at Tri-Cities High School in Atlanta, during Team Georgia's practice for a 7-on-7 tournament in Tampa, Fla. Jones showed his quickness in and out of his breaks, excellent route-running and superior quickness. Most of all, he showed strong and reliable hands.

"I think that just comes naturally," he said of catching the ball out front with his hands. "I played quarterback up until eighth grade, so I guess always holding the football that way in my hands just made it natural for me as a wide receiver."

I'm curious if a lot of recruits look at these rankings and put any stock in them. I mean, this kid has offers from everybody who matters - what does he have to prove to some middle aged has-beens or never-weres on a website?

For the record, I'm not middle aged...but I am a never-was.

I wondered about Jones at a ball-hawking coverage type safety, but the recent videos on him seal the deal in my eyes: definite bona-fide BCS Conference caliber WR, no doubt. Has the skills to flat out clown people in the slot, and has enough height to be a #1 or #2 on the outside (lets face it, the 5'9" #1 WRs of the world like Steve Smith are few and far between for a reason).

Whoever gets this guy is getting a really, really fine prospect. Of course I want him at ND, but if not I hope he goes to tOSU, where Robiskie already being gone and Hartline set to graduate before Tai-ler's freshman year will have opened up some good opportunities at PT (though Carter and Posey have bright futures on the field to be sure).

Hartline declared early for the NFL. But I agree, Jones seems to be able to do everything that Anthony Gonzalez was able to do in the slot and also go deep.
