Sounds like the visit to MSU is still on:

Not good news for the Buckeyes RT @DYoungScout: Latest on Jamarco Jones' weekend visit plans for #MichiganState http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=175&f=2653&t=12628382&p=6…

If he visits East Lansing this weekend, that is Bad News Bears...

Reports out there that the coaches are still visiting with Jamarco Jones.. I dont think visit to MSU is 100% right now. Still think OSU 100%.

Obviously one man's opinion, but still...

I was curious as to how the visit could already be over at 4pm. What time does he get out of school?

I still think he'll be a buckeye when alls said and done.

Coaches just left, and drayton was there

I feel pretty darn confident he'll stick with his committment with those 3 seeing him tonight.

Mom is on board with Ohio State.....that certainly doesn't hurt

Hope he and his mom are nothing like Landon Collins and his mother.

Or Alex Collins and his mother

It seems to me like Dantonio's (and Hoke's when he's not mumbling about 'disrespect') go to recruiting pitch against OSU and Meyer in particular is the absence of a 'family atmosphere' in Columbus.

My hope is that that angle will backfire spectacularly on the OV after the in home visit last night, particularly since mom is on board with the good guys and in light of the close relationship he has developed with the Dream 14.

I don't really see any angle MSU can take that couldn't have been preemptively crushed by Warriner and LJ Sr last night (which can't be said about the McDowell recruitment, for the record), particularly since I am supremely confident that OSU has better recruiters.

Still, stranger things have happened...

They went in there yesterday intending to stop the visit, I'm sure of that. The mission was not successful. As Wade said, Bad News Bears on this one.

They went in there yesterday intending to stop the visit, I'm sure of that.

What if they went there saying "Go ahead and visit, we're confident we're the superior school and here's why. Here's what they are going to tell you on the visit and here's our response. Have fun visiting all your friends at MSU, remember where you mom wants you to go and remember what we've told you."

It might work and it might not work, and they might not have done that at all, but projecting confidence seems like a better strategy than acting like you are scared of him visiting another school- at least to me.
