TomVH: DT Jarron Jones Offered

Big time New York defensive tackle Jarron Jones (6'6", 305 lbs) was just offered by Michigan. He has offers now from Michigan, Alabama, Florida State, and North Carolina to name a few. I talked to him about the offer, and it seems like it's all too early in the process for him to really have a set plan.

Michigan is a big offer for me. Coach Mallory called my coach and told him that they were offering. I'm going to probably take visits over spring break and the summer. I'm just trying to take it all in right now, if I end up feeling comfortable somewhere then I'll make a decision. I don't really have a timeline right now. I grew up watching some Michigan games, watching Mike Hart and Chad Henne, so I know about Michigan.

Jarron is going to try to make it up to Michigan for a visit, but doesn't have any dates set in stone yet. 

His junior film is here.

6'6" maybe a little tall for DT. Any chance he moves to OT?

Personally, I love it that the new staff is going after studs. It shows we aren't willing to back down from, the schools on top, for the best players in the country, while showing that we are still here we are still Michigan and we're coming back...

A friend of mine who follows OSU recruiting religiously said that someone on a Buckeye site asked the mods why Michigan would offer Bri'onte Dunn (spelling?) when they know that he's solid for OSU.  The mods on the site said that the offer was made to bolster the Michigan brand, i.e., to show other recruits that a Michigan offer is something that goes to elite players.

Adding to the info supporting the higher calibre players, of the almost 90 offers we've handed out, two-thirds of those have gone to players in the Rivals 250 to Watch. It's nice to see that the staff's really aiming high recruiting-wise.

According to ESPN we have offered 22 of their 150 watch list. It does seem as though Hoke and company are going after the higher ranked players no matter where they are or who's interested in them. Seems like a good plan to me. Go Blue!

I am not saying that we don't have a chance or that Michigan isn't a marketeable brand but what is the likelyhood of landing them.

I mean ... CMU could offer all 5 star kids - how many would actually choose to go there.

Also, he's a physical beast, but geez, it seems like the first thing he does is stand up when the ball is snapped.  Gonna have to work on that on the next level.  Still, that's why we have Mattison, so I'll take him.

Has a little Big Will in him.  Work that out and you can do a lot of damage sticking that large frame into the interior of the line before the offense gets out of their stance.
