'10 CO RB Mister Jones (Signed to Texas A&M)

Re: '10 CO RB Mister Jones (Committed to Colorado)

Jones will be very needed next year imo. We need a back with his size and speed. Sumler is our only "big" back and he doesn't really run like a bigger guy. Lockridge and Speedy are nice, but are what, 5-8 170-180? Injuries are bound to happen when you're that size in the Big 12 carrying the ball 20 times a game.

Then again Scott had the size and was injured all the time anyway, who knows. :sad1:
 
Re: '10 CO RB Mister Jones (Committed to Colorado)

Mister Jones is most definitely the big time recruit that we will need the most.

Converting short yardage has not been something that we excelled at this past year.

Enter Mister Jones. He will be a great addition to Speedy/Lockridge/Sumler. I've been disappointed that Sumler hasn't progressed more either. He was better at blitz pickup and catching the ball in previous years, but slipped back this season.

Wierd that we went from a "stable of RBs" to being scarce. With DScott transferring and Ray Polk moving to Safety, we have no underclassmen at RB on scholarship next season.

We need a power runner and someone that will be the clear-cut #2 back in 2011, and then take over completely once Speedy graduates.

Quentin Hildreth is not on scholarship, but he was an invited walk-on and may well be next year. Definitely a D1 talent.

Read a little about him, but really don't know enough about him. Would be nice if "surprised" and became a solid contributor. Once Lockridge and Sumler leave we will need some bodies in there to step up.
 
Re: '10 CO RB Mister Jones (Committed to Colorado)

Mister Jones has confirmed to Rivals that he is rock solid in his commitment. :thumbsup:

On Hawkins and his commitment: "I didn't think he was leaving, but it was good to know he is definitely going to stay," added the 6-foot-2, 205-pound running back from Littleton High. "I am still committed to CU. All around it is a perfect school for me and it is close to home."

On his academic standing: "I am just trying to keep my grades up," Jones said. "I have a 3.5 grade point average [this semester] and I got a 21 on my ACT. … I got set up with some wrong classes my freshman year, classes that aren't accepted by the NCAA Clearinghouse so I am going to have to keep working hard."

He's skipping track in the spring to focus on academics and may also need to take some classes over the summer before he can enroll at CU.

I think we all know where this will end up...

Oops! :lol:

Track, he's skipping track. :smile2:
 
Re: '10 CO RB Mister Jones (Committed to Colorado)

Good. I can easily see him starting.

why be more negative then we have to be? I may not have faith in Hawk, but I will have faith in this kid until proven otherwise.

Exactly. Mister's done an amazing job bringing his academics and test score up. He's a motivated guy who is going to get it done. Anyone want to bet on whether he makes it into college, I'll be happy to take your money.

I've seen the ncaa and cu administration before, that might be the reason. Never said anything about the kid, thanks.

Sounds motivated, hope he gets in.
 
Re: '10 CO RB Mister Jones (Committed to Colorado)

Really hoping he gets it all together. We need him for next season, and I think he could be a contributor right away.
 
Re: '10 CO RB Mister Jones (Committed to Colorado)

Guys, this is a recruit thread, please keep the pissing on each other to a minimum. Thanks.
 
Re: '10 CO RB Mister Jones (Committed to Colorado)

Man, I really hope that is not true. We need Jones badly.
 
Re: '10 CO RB Mister Jones (Committed to Colorado)

He sounds committed to CU, but sometimes kids just want to take the trips and see what's out there, get treated like a VIP. That's okay with me. Enjoy it while you can.
 
Re: '10 CO RB Mister Jones (Committed to Colorado)

It would be a surprise if Jones doesn't end up a Buff. In the end, I believe he's going to want to be close to home.
 
Re: '10 CO RB Mister Jones (Committed to Colorado)

I hope Jones sticks with us because he will have an opportunity for a lot of playing time.

I cannot begrudge a kid for taking visits if he so chooses. Really hope the Buffs hang on to Jones.

sorry, watched the worst offense last night perhaps in D1. They are horrible. Unless you are a defensive player, you don't want to go to NU.

Well, luckily, most of the recruited kids are a little more astute than message board posters and know what teams have waiting in the wings, why things may be as they currently appear and the fix for said issues.

waiting in the wings. The interception machine named Green? I've seen what Shawn Watson can do.

By year end, there was not a more pathetic offense in D1.... But I'm sure it's because you were holding all your good players back...
