Apparently, Jones is developing way ahead of schedule through his senior year...actually getting some technique now. He's gone from "great raw prospect" as a mid 3* to a top national recruit and has wowed everyone that has seen him live that I've seen reports from. Seems he has been very coachable and instinctive... much moreso than people thought in advance anyway. No telling just how high his ceiling is.

I don't want to hate on this but I just don't think some scout is constantly monitoring this kids development. If scouts actually did what y'all think they do for Jones then there wouldn't be hardly any misses and the star rating would be flawless

24/7 has now sent 5 different scouts to his games that have all written glowing reviews on his performance...none by the name of Paul Jones or directly associated with the MSU 24/7 site. Every time one of those guys see him perform, his ranking has gone up.

I'm not saying that they evaluate every player to the same extent, but they have obviously seen things on film that wowed them enough to travel from all over the southeast to watch him play, which has obviously left an even better impression on them...

If this is true then I have so much respect for those sites and its amazing they are ever wrong.

Jones hasn't played a lot of football and transferred from one small school to another one. This is the first year people have really gotten to see him. If he had been at one school and playing football the entire time, he wouldn't have started out where he did. Stop being so angry and just admit the kid is really good.

Notice the first sentence of my post. If you don't think this is odd that a payer jumps from a NR to a top 40 player in the country then you're crazy. I'm just pointing out how odd it is

Rumor is that Freeze is about to flip to us after Jones has a chat with him.

If Freeze brings some myrrh to the Egg Bowl, watch out.

Freeze told Yancy that Chris Jones isn't good enough for an OM scholarship offer based on his lack of offers from other schools.

All I know is that 3 NATIONAL 247 guys with ZERO MSU affiliation have seen Chris Jones in person and they are all in awe. Barton Simmons, JC Shurbutt, and Keith Nieuber are well known recruiting guys who know a big time recruit when they see one and are unbiased.

I doubt the kid would get the much of a bump, if it weren't flat out obvious that he deserves it. Don't ya think.
