Late Emerging In-State Prospect
Last December, a linebacker recruit at Lakewood (Colo.) High by the name of Joe Hemschoot went from sleeper to blue-chipper in the matter of weeks as soon as he began sending out his senior film. Hemschoot chose Stanford over offers from Colorado, Oregon, Oregon State and Northern Colorado.
This December, Lakewood High lineman Jake Jones is hoping that his senior film will provide a similar boost to his recruiting stock.
"Jake would love to go to CU," he [defensive coordinator John Bacon] added. "He understands the whole coaching situation and he is not scared by it. He is more anxious to kind of check out the black and gold."
Read more at Rivals...
Jake Jones played for Green Mountain not Lakewood, and seeing how I played for Green Mountain I'd say Rivals is a bit off unless he transferred for his senior year.
Rivals does have "Green Mountain" in the profile for Jones. Strange that it was written differently in that article.Originally Posted by CUBuffs12
CUB12 - did you watch Jones play at all? Hear anything about him through the grapevine?
Yeah I watched him play quite a bit and his brother who played was the same year as me so I could probably find out pretty easily.
He has a lot of talent, ever since midget league he has always had size on everybody else, he was on one of the GM teams that won the Carnation Bowl. He's probably not going to get any taller I'd say he's a legit 6'4" 285 though, GM doesn't have a very good weight room so he has room to grow.
Greg Brown used to be a coach at GM back in the day so if he is truly on Embree's staff that could help land Jake.

Jones has picked up offers to Air Force and Wyoming. Good to see another Colorado kid getting a D1 scholarship. We'll see whether CU has a spot for him or not with our limited 2011 class size.
Then Rivals picture is wrong. Those are Lakewood jerseys (orange and black) and since you went to GM you would know that their colors are black and yellow.
Looks like a brawler. That's what we need.
Said Deehan: "I've got to say the biggest difference is Malcolm in the weight room. . . we're a lot stronger where we need to be. We're no longer just big, fat power-lifters."
He looks like human targeting missile... he flattens one guy and is looking for the next. Seems to move well when pulling and seems to handle a "speed" rush in the passing game. Clearly, he is most accustomed to run blocking. He might be a personal foul machine however... plays angry.

Film said Lakewood... jersey says Lakewood... I think its Lakewood.
He plays for Green Mountain.

I'll look into the photo used.
Is the film incorrect? Is there more than one Jake Jones...? Common surname.
The number listed in the DP is 79... his number in the film is 72... isn't it?

Jake Jones on Lakewood team and GM team too... funny.

Honestly, I see a better DE prospect than OL. Good thing we need DL more than OL! sign 'em up!
You'd think with 3 D1 prospects that Lakewood would have been better on the Gridiron.
