Pete Carrol is telling him that he'll be used as a tailback and wildcat quarterback there...looks like he is looking at richrod's offense as a potential alternative. Just sounds like a great all-around athlete that could be used in a number of ways. Looks like he's somewhere in between Tate Forcier and Justin Fargas on tape.

Newspapers have reported that Cornelius Jones is being recruited as a defensive back. Recruiting websites have long held that Jones committed as a quarterback. I trust recruiting websites more than I trust newspapers.

because national sites like rivals and scout are going to be more directly in contact with the players and their coaches than, say, the shitty local newspaper who has to get by through exhausting these avenues of close contact.

I've seen several cases where local newspapers have no clue what's going on with their local teams. Not only do people like Josh Helmholdt (Rivals) have contact with recruits, but they also have "inside sources" within the Michigan athletic department. On top of that, they're just flat-out better at scouting players and knowing whether he can play quarterback or safety or linebacker or receiver.
