Bryan Jones- DT Junction City, AR

[jmar]

Has this kid decided between Arkansas, La Tech and AU ?

Follow up: Jones, Whitaker Lemonier and Thornton still on the board, Coleman still telling websites he is still a firm commit to Auburn and DJ Hpward wants to play RB, his reason to visit Clemson.

If he's talented, and he's an in-state prospect, Arkansas doesn't need him. They're loaded.

Only with 5 star RB's.....Wingo says: "F off, we have plenty of talent."

Seriously though - heard a little rumor yesterday afternoon that Jones had given indication that he was now leaning to Auburn, which contradicts what he reportedly was last week - which was a lean to Arky. We shall find out shortly.

I wonder if Jones has actually said anything to anyone.  No one has any quotes and there was a Facebook thing that was a joke and misunderstood too.

One of Jones' teammates said on his Facebook that he and Jones were going to SAU.  I think some people saw the AU and got excited.  Turns out the kid was joking, since they had been asked some much about where they are going, he was joking that they had both committed to Southern Arkansas University (SAU, not AU).

Hadn't heard that. What I heard was more to do with an indication he gave coaches early Friday sometime.

Jamie Newberg's answer:
The best second-year run has to be at Auburn. First, Gene Chizik put together a really good staff in terms of recruiting. The Tigers' staff went a bit unnoticed because all the attention with the coaching changes last season went to Tennessee. Assistants such as Trooper Taylor, Curtis Luper, Tommy Thigpen, Ted Roof, etc., are big-time recruiters. And it's not like they walked into an easy situation. Alabama has killed it in recruiting under Nick Saban, with back-to-back top-rated recruiting classes. Along the way, the Crimson Tide owned the state. I wouldn't say the pendulum has swung to Auburn in the state of Alabama, but the Tigers have gotten some players they didn't in the past and they are making things a little harder for Saban and Co. Auburn has scored on both sides of the ball, has filled needs and has a balanced class. They also still have some major out-of-state battles brewing with running back Marcus Lattimore, defensive tackles Bryan Jones and Jeffrey Whitaker and defensive end Corey Lemonier.

This is part of a Rival's synopsis.

They've decided not to sign anyone this year.

The kid's name is Byran. I don't think he is going to a place where they don't even know his name. We need him. He ain't a running back.

Whatever.

We had Tuberville for 10 years and half of Auburn to this day can't spell his name without putting two b's in it.

What??? He's only had one B in his last name?  Huh, oh well.
