Nope, not really. He's handling his recruitment the way a MATURE teenager handles it when everyone wants you (I'm looking at you, Mr. Pryor).
Sam Webb from Scout has repeatedly said on his podcasts on WTKA that Jelani's dad (who is handling his recruitment) has promised him that when Jelani narrows things down, Michigan will be on that list. Aside from that, not much to report.

I think the way he's handling the recruitment says as much about his parents as it does about him. His parents seem like good individuals with strong morals, and they're doing their best to help him with the process. The parents definitely set a good example, that he's following.
Just my .02.

ok enough of jelani and his 5 stars. we dont do family values.
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:46 PM ^
He is really really good, and no one knows where he is going to go to school, *but* i have inside information that at some point he will make a decision and said decision will make some people very happy and piss off a lot of other people.
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:49 PM ^
This requires inside information? I'm pretty sure at some point every recruit makes a decision that will piss off a lot of people and make some other people very happy, Jerimy Finch being the exception to this.

Fix your sarcasm detector, yo.
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:57 PM ^
On this board, it's conceivable someone would say that. My bad if that was sarcasm.
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:57 PM ^
My insider info tells me that Shock didn't pick up on homeboy's sarcasm. Come on man, you're better than that.
October 2nd, 2008 at 4:54 PM ^
My inside information also tells me that said decision will be made some time before signing day, unless it is not...
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:12 PM ^
good stuff guys.
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:17 PM ^
Thank you. I accept cash or fruit rollups.
Let this forever be an example of how quickly a thread can get OT.

On a more serious note, on film he reminds me of ernie sims and his high school days, (although Jelani is probably about 15 lbs lighter). Both were undersized rush linebackers with ridiculous speed and pop, get off blockers well, and just have this need to get to the football with reckless abandon. Erine was a little bit more athletic but I think that at this point in his career Jelani is a lot more polished than Erine.
With all that being said, we would:
A). Be extremely lucky to land Jelani.
B). Be even more ridiculously lucky if he became anywhere near the type of player Ernie Sims was for FSU.
October 2nd, 2008 at 5:46 PM ^
Lucky? We are unstoppable. All the other teams who got commits from 5-star players are lucky that those guys didn't commit to us. We are the standard upon which all teams are compared.

Who has the bomb ass dick?
We has the bomb ass dick!

We have shown promise in getting top recruits with alliterative names that start with 'J'. This bodes well for us in the future.
