All Things Jones - Merged Thread

[hoggusamoungus]

Surely grandpa would pay for his school and let him walk on so we can use the scholarship on another playmaker.

Blueshirt.  See the three page thread in recruiting forum.

[PossumFan]

If he proved to be the best QB and earned the starting job, there would be a chorus of protests from folks saying he just got the job because he's Jerry's son.

[SamBuckhart]

WOOO PIG, Mr. Jones.!!!

He will very most likely be a slot receiver at the FBS level, and will probably be a very good player at that spot.  I think everyone invloved is aware of that being the case.  He could play QB at the FCS level, but not likely in the SEC.  I may be wrong, but probably not.  I'm just glad he wants to be a Razorback.

Pay for play.

wut?

[wlbrown9]

I guess he already knew John:

"Chandler Morris, the son of Arkansas coach Chad Morris, is the backup to Jones at Highland Park. Morris, a sophomore, briefly replaced Jones after he was injured on Friday night."

wut?

Clinton technique.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

Whatever.

[Wildhog]

Jerry gets his AD, his head coach, and then his grandson immediately gets a scholarship offer.  Dude straight up bought our program.

I hate it.  I’m sure this’ll be spun by many as a positive though.

[3of5-2]

Whatever.

Follow that 70 mil and see who's name comes up.

Because that's the only way he could go to an fbs school.....did Jerry buy texas tech too?

Nevermind the 4500 yards and 56 touchdowns he's responsible for this year.

We've already got Noland committed and Bohanon will be soon.  There's absolutely no reason to offer him.  Y'all spin this any way you want, but he doesn't have an offer if his name isn't Jones.

I'm pretty sure we don't want to have 2 QBs on scholarship. Signing 3 will put us a 5.

Considering that we will have at least one transfer. Maybe two.

He may end up blue shirting.

Blue shirts still get scholarships.

If Jack Lindsey can walk on, so can Jerruh’s grandson.

Highland Park is a system fit for CM's scheme. Even Davenport says that the kid is a baller. I suppose Davenport is just trying to curry favor with Jerry.

I bet your husband gets tired of you saying "whatever" all the time.

Y'all keep lapping up that kool aid like you did with Bielema.  Zero reason for this offer.  That's an OL or a LB or another dire need that we won't get because Jerry wanted his grandson to get a scholarship.  I guess they're for sale now.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

You obviously don't know which one I am.

Oops, sorry about that.

These are my initial thoughts as well. After seeing 5 straight years of the Allen 'dynasty', I'm hoping that's not what we're getting ourselves into here.

Just depends on what Jerry wants.  Yurachek and Morris will fall in line.  He got them their jobs, after all.

Sounds like sour grapes. Your prob the kid that never got pick for anything in school. Go run to mommy. I'm sure she'll snuggle you.

Sour grapes for what?  That doesn't even make sense.

[Wildhog]

Jerry pushed for Yurachek, and Yurachek was hired.  Jerry pushed for Morris, and Morris was hired.  And now one of the first offers Morris sends out is to Jerry's grandson, and that doesn't seem fishy to any of you?  My god, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I wonder if the grandson knows anything about Arkla Arkoma? I can hear him now, "Arkoma" yelling out signals like Peyton Manning did with "Omaha".

[Kneph13]

Say what you want, but the kid's stats speak for themselves.

+1

So do you drop Noland or Bohanon for him?

Does it hurt that he is a Jones??  No.  Can the kid play? Yes.  Please don't hate on the kid because he got an offer.  It isn't his first offer. Real life is a little politics or who you know.  Grow up.

That's fine but be honest about it.  Granddaddy bought him a spot on our team.

Without getting myself into trouble, I'm with you. 

[Kneph13]

So do you drop Noland or Bohanon for him?

No I would expect him to earn the spot just like either one of those two.  He may not even play QB and move to another position.

Wait, are you saying Jerry is a major booster and cares about Arkansas football?  Now that is something I had never even thought of.  Do you think it is reasonable to say that Jerry with his millions would not pay the kids way instead of having him eat a scholarship.  Please tell me more about this latest conspiracy.

[WorfHog]

You obviously don't know which one I am.

Are you the 70's stewardess or the Breaking Bad cosplayer? 

And I don't care it's one scholarship to keep our most valuable Booster and Alumnus happy.

You guys that think this world is some kind of meritocracy are deluded.

[Wildhog]

Tell me more about how awesome Bielema is and how stupid I was to doubt him.  I didn’t forget.

I have a cookie for you in my pocket.  Up until the last two games last year, it looked like CBB finally had us on track.  I am not ashamed that I supported him till then and even to start off this year.

I'd be perfectly fine with him walking on.  That's not what this is.

So he has already signed his LOI?  Just curious because the article says:

It is unclear at this time if the offer is a scholarship spot or as a preferred walk-on. It also could be a blueshirt opportunity, meaning Jones would not be on scholarship immediately but potentially would be following a semester on campus.

And bashed me relentlessly for pointing out obvious flaws and reasons that he wouldn't succeed.  Hell, most here did.

Actually, this is pretty close.

It's reportedly a full scholarship offer.  If it turns out to be a preferred walk on spot then I'll shut my mouth.

You deserved it.  You are literally one of the most negative posters on here and even when things are looking up, you will dig to find something to bitch about (i.e. this thread).

Which pay board?

[Pork Twain]

From 247

Was just offered today by the Hogs. He has been offered a blueshirt by both Arkansas and Texas Tech. Morris is very familiar with Jones since his son is also on the Highland Park squad. Jones isn't tall, but he's very talented. His team is still alive in the state playoffs. To this point in the season, Jones has completed 236 of 331 passes for 3,989 yards, 52 touchdowns and only four interceptions. He has also rushed 98 times for 400 yards and nine touchdowns. His father Stephen lettered at Arkansas (1984-87) and his grandfather Jerry (1962-64). Of course his grandfather was a member of the 1964 national championship team and now owns the Dallas Cowboys.
