August Recruiting Thread

The Fong on Christian Jones -

Omaha (Neb.) Westside On3 Industry four-star linebacker Christian Jones is going to take his recruitment into the fall.

Oklahoma, Miami and Nebraska are the finalists.

“Probably going to commit three games into the season,” Jones said. “See some things and make a decision.”

The Sooners are a program to watch for the 6-foot-2 1/2, 215-pound Jones. They got the last visit at the end of June.

“I love Coach Venables,” Jones said. “He’s one of my favorite coaches so far. Coach Alley their new defensive coordinator has a lot of fire to him. I love their scheme. It’s made for linebackers. I like that aspect. They do everything right down there. I like their culture aspect. They really harp on it.”


Oklahoma currently has On3’s No. 15 ranked recruiting class.

Nebraska is pushing to keep Jones in-state.

“They’re rebuilding their culture,” Jones said. “Rebuilding their program. Waiting to see what they do with it. I like the coaching staff. Good relationships with them. Coach Rob, Coach McGuire and Coach White.”

Matt Rhule and his staff are working to sign a second-straight Top25 class. Jones is one of the top remaining targets as they sit at No. 30 in the standings.

Miami is starting to come on strong.

“I’ll probably go take an official down there during the season,” Jones said.

“It’s a really rich tradition school. Their linebacker room fits up good for the class of 2025. They’re losing some guys and have some holes to fill. That’s what’s catching my eye. They have a good opportunity in their room.”

So apparently the OV to Wisconsin Jones was going to take in the fall is no longer happening anymore?

I don't remember him mentioning Wisky in any interview after the Badgers took the commitment of high 4 star Mason Posa as their 3rd LB in mid-June.

He also got 4 official offers on 8/1 per Rivals OU - Nebraska, OU, Miami and Auburn. So I'd say Wisky is out.

Yeah, I don’t remember where it was from. Maybe an interview after his OV here? I thought I remembered some mention of him thinking about taking a trip to Wisconsin in the fall.

I'd lean towards the Sooners right now heading into the season.
When OU Rivals gave him two "Futurecasts" tp OU last month (one from the infamous Parker Thune) one of the reasons cited was that Jones told them he "had no burning desire to be a Husker".

He definitely mentioned visiting Wisconsin during the season as a reason his crootment would go into the fall. Looks like that may have changed though with Whisky filling up at LB.
