bigsixfive 328 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I was listening to the radio tonight, and they mentioned OU is now a frontrunner for Jones. They went onto mention how he drove home from Norman in a new car. Certainly they were mistaken... right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runswithscissors 33 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 the only reason you could make a case for OU is they're pitching the "national spotlight" angle pretty hard. unless something catastrophic happens he's sticking around the south. fwiw, there are alot of rumors about JJ that float around. most are WAAAAY out there. i honestly have no idea about that one about the Norman/new car thing, but i wouldn't put much stock into it.

sogaaufan 27 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 It shouldn't be a hard sell. OU is firmly in the national spotlight now (some say they are the best team in the nation). Who would you rather have throwing passes to you, Bradford or Wilson? They also have a potent running game so he wouldn't be as likely to face as many doubleteams. I'd say distance is the only thing Bama has in their favor when comparing these schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsixfive 328 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 It was on Sports Call, and they're not ones to push unfounded stories. That's why I asked here - to see if anyone else had heard it (from other sources). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnChopper1 0 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 OU does have some inside contacts at dealerships...that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townhallsavoy 2 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 The second I heard that Julio Jones was taking an official visit to OU, I thought he was a lock. They have a great QB that should be there two more years. They also have a sound running game to help open up the pass. They're consistently in the national spotlight. Julio Jones is good enough to start as a true freshman. If Jones is going to make a commitment based on being a successful football player, I can't see any reason why he should pick Bama or Auburn over OU. Unless he sees education/being close to home/being a fan as equal importance, it'd be hard to pick anybody over OU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsixfive 328 Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 I'd bet if he went to USC, they'd buy his parents a house so he could still be close. Oh wait, they didn't know about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say this as many times as it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keoson7 28 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Julio will be in Tuscaloser. No way he goes anywhere but Bammer. I talked to a guy(Gumby) that has known Julio since he was knee high. Julio is just teasing the rest of the schools. My source is a, cheap light beer drinking, skoal drooling, half wit, so take it fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
