He also said that the feeling might be mutual and the UM staff thinks they could get a better player in his place if he went elsewhere. Personally, I'm hoping he either sees the light and commits to CMU or jumps on tBelieve Train.  Losing Jones would be a big deal because it would leave UM with Campbell as their only instate commit, and being that he's most definitely taking visits this fall (surprisingly,  DickRod has elected not to enforce his visit-elsewhere-and-lose-your-spot policy with Mr. Campbell), he could easily opt for Miami/USC/LSU/wherever else he's visiting. If that happens, you have to think that there'd be serious fallout from DickRod taking ZERO instate kids in his first class. If he doesn't want to alienate the HS coaches in Michigan, he'd have to start targeting CMU's scraps. |
RR would be stupid to pull Jones' scholarship. If he did that, he'd most likely alienate UM's best pipeline for instate talent.
