I like this kid. I’m not just talking about on the gridiron; dude appears to be a quality young man. He has some natural tools to work w/ to become special here if it’s unlocked. (Big Pause to all of that)

I don’t like to fall back on this culture stuff like one way is better than another, or it somehow excuses not getting talent (remember the Shannon days)

But it’s a trend with these elite recruits Mario is landing and some that he has missed on. A lot of these guys are humble and business like dating back to the string of recruits like Mauigoa, Williams, Bryant etc last year. Some of the misses have been straight up weirdos in their interviews. Not suggesting that we are just making all the right calls and blah blah blah, but these guys are seemingly cut from the same cloth of Mario which makes sense.

I have my criticisms of Mario, but his character is not one of them.

From his post-visit interview. fwiw

"Right now, I'm probably locked in with Miami still but I wouldn't say FSU doesn't have a chance because I really do love FSU," he said. "It's just a really good school and I have seen many people come here and I know many people that are here. They say it's a good school to be at and that their program is amazing and the coaches love you to death. And coach Odell is one of the best coaches around -- maybe the best d-line coach in the nation. He's just a great person. Coach Norvell, I love him so much. He shows that he cares about your personality."

It sounds like an official visit to FSU is on the table for later in the process.

"I would love to go to FSU for an official visit to be honest," Jones said.

It doesn't look like any other schools are heavily involved in Jones' recruitment besides the aforementioned Sunshine State programs.

"I'm locked in with FSU and Miami right now," he said. "Go Noles."

Ain’t no way this man said “Go Noles” 🤣

Bruh kids are crazy lol
 
I’m going to pose a question that’s meant to be somewhat logical but completely speculative so please don’t take it in one direction or the other.

But based on those comments…did we pressure Jones to commit early because we were that desperate with DL recruiting?

I still can’t see us losing to FSU but man…the f^cker said Go Noles?
