1 is to Tennessee for the UGA game. Something interesting is that the other is to UF when they play UT.
I'm guessing the other is to LSU.

That was actually crazy because when I first walked in they all started clapping and I was shocked and I was walked in and everybody was clapping and waiting for me and so I shook their hands and gave them some hugs," Jackson said Sunday after his visit. "It was just a great welcome. I've never seen that, ever. That does stick out to me a lot." "It was exciting. It was very fun to be up here," Jackson said. "It was different from all my other visits I guess you could say. Just spending time with the coaches and players and just having fun and relaxing and seeing some current players that are here, it was just a good experience." "It was unexpected for me. I thought we were just going to sit around like a junior day like everyone else does it," Jackson said. "So, it was just a fun time hanging out with everyone and laughing and making jokes and stuff like that." "The coaches and the players and how they treated me when I got here," Jackson said of what stood out to him. "The staff people treated me really well and it felt like a home welcoming. You can see that fan support on my twitter and it came out to be true when I got here." "I think it exceeded it. It's just great to be here," Jackson explained. "I think the hype was worth it." Jackson said the coaching staff spent little time on football and lots of time getting to know him and he said he appreciated that. "I got to know them and with it being their first year here they got to break down things with me scheme-wise and how they're going to use me and things like that," Jackson said. "We didn't really talk much about recruiting, we were just talking about starting a relationship just in case on signing day I do sign here I already have a relationship with everybody." "For me they said whichever place I'd want to play first. If I want to do offense and part-time (defense) or if I want to do defense and part-time offense. Basically I think I'd do 'D' and part-time offense the more I see the schemes and stuff," Jackson said. "Being a corner, schools don't really have good corners that stand out. Everybody has a good receiver that sticks out and I want to be a dynamic player and use me on both sides of the ball to get me touches and that's what I like about it." why I want to do special teams as well and if a school lets me do what I'm good at at Serra and doing it here, I like that." Also important to Jackson are the track programs of the schools he's looking at and he was able to speak to Tennessee track coach J.J. Clark "I just talked to the head coach bed to get out of here so I talked to him. It was very important and the long jump coach was wanting to talk to me as well," Jackson said. Up next is a possible visit to Florida's Friday Night Lights this upcoming Friday but the trip isn't for certain. "It was helpful and it probably was a great thing to do just to get a visit out because if I didn't I may have not got to visit because of recruiting," Jackson said. "Everything happened for a reason so it's a great thing."

On this Foundation Day....
Terrific concept by Jones, his coaching staff and recruiting staff. Parents that I have spoken with this evening have raved about the day and how the program approached it.
In talking to Bookser today, the OT from Pennsylvania, he said it was great to go somewhere and just relax in talking to everyone. He said he never felt like everyone's eyeballs were on him evaluating him. They were just hanging out visiting with each other.
I think today will pay major dividends down the road as parents all got visit with each other and build relationships.

Butch is doing every single thing right at the moment, his energy is just incredible, It has to translate to the performance on the field, it just has to.

I hope this allows us to get a few D-Linemen.

I saw that, you heard anything about the big 2 michigan schools getting after him?

He has offers from both. Ohio State is #2 with Mich #3 and Wisconsin/Sparty at 4a/4b.
Says he's on an unofficial to Mich today per his timeline. I'm sure he's been there before though. He originally said he wasn't even interested in playing in the south, but the UT visit really opened his eyes and he named us leader this week.

5 commits in a week, I would say it was successful.

Not to shabby but that's no FNL kind of weekend.

Did they grab anybody? I know Adoree Jackson and Quincy Wilson were there but never heard anything else on it

They got a prettt good 15 WR who is a legacy and another solid pickup but that's it as far as I know.

It's a stretch, but if we got the commitment from Jackson we'd have one of the strongest backfields for the 2014 class with Tk Jr, McDowell, Payne, and Gaulden already being on board
Posted on 7/29/13 at 3:35 pm to TRUERockyTop
Don't underestimate the draw that TK, McDowell, and Gaulden have on Jackson. CB's like the idea of playing aggressive when they have studs like that behind them cleaning up their mess.

I thought he was a Miami lean, didn't know he was a legacy
