Brian Perroni (TAMU247) says it isn't official yet.

ETA: Sounds like it was announced on ESPN Waco, but Perroni spoke with his coach and said it wasn't official yet.

This kid is a beast and a great kid...nice pickup for you guys if/when it's official.

However, it's a big kick in the junk for Texas...I felt really confident on Jones to Texas.

This recruiting thing is crazy.

Edit: One of recruiting guys is saying that Jones' father is denying the commitment but will be announcing
a top 5 this evening...stay tuned.

I don't think I've read anything regarding Bama being involved in his recruitment until this. So to me it seems to be coming out of nowhere. Is that accurate, or has Bama been on him?

From what I've been told-#Rivals100 DT Kendall Jones was scheduled to announce decision at his spring game. So stay tuned.

Does anyone know when is his spring game?

ETA Perroni posted on BOL that it is May 22.

Gump reporters or other sites reporters reporting Gump commits having been jumping the gun lately.

Let the kids have their moment

It wasn't a gump reporter this time. It was a longhorn.

We want the kid, but we have never really been in on him. So it sucks losing him but it doesn't really sting, like losing kendall sheffield did, cause we never really had a chance. Texas fans are gone be mad though

If true, this bodes well for Lawrence.

I said other sites too. Point is everyone is racing to break the story. It's turning into bleacher report.

I think Alabama fans would riot outside of Bone's house if he did it again. It almost cost us Najee Harris.

Somewhat. Our other DT commit is from MS which means there is a high chance that he Landmasses us sometime before NSD. We lose 2-3 DTs this year so our staff will need to replace those in this class.

As you should.

I am merely pointing out that us taking Jones is somewhat irrelevant to Lawrence's recruitment especially at this stage of the game. It would be like me saying that if you get both Oliver and Alexander then Lawrence must be headed here. Those recruitments really have nothing to do with each other.
