Jones did come from Roswell High School where he probably wouldve been the No. 3 receiver. And your point is what? The No. 1 and No. 2 receivers at RHS got NO offers..and as far as I know only one Roswell player has a scholarship offer. Jones and his family did the right thing by going to Gainesville. Tai-ler is a hardworker both on and off the field and comes from a great family. Congrats Tai-ler you deserve all the success and accolades you're getting. Recruiting skeptic, you’re right.

Just because his dad was a hotshot receiver in college doesn't mean he will also be one. He is not in the same ballpark as the last receiver from the north Fulton area to play for the Dogs -- Sean Bailey. Save the scholarship Richt and let Charlie Weis have him.

UGA made the final list of seven schools on Monday with Jones, who is also considering Notre Dame (his father’s alma mater), Ohio State, North Carolina, UCLA, California, and Stanford. Jones has also pushed up his decision date, saying he could make his college choice within the next couple of months. Jones is one of the nation’s leaders in early offers with 31, including Clemson, Georgia Tech, and South Carolina. Georgia Tech did not make Jones’ first cut of 15 schools because he did not feel like his skills were a match for the team’s offense. A few days ago, Jones did not have an UGA offer and said he was going to attend track practice rather than Georgia’s Junior Day on Saturday.

His Dad being a ND grad is a pull. However, they have cold weather and may not even make a Bowl bid. If Weiss doesn't do a lot better this year, he is probably gone so there will be a new coach and staff to deal with. Hopefully playing on an SEC team will be a big factor as the SEC is a much higher level of competition than the other Confs. he is looking at. He can get a great education at UGA and all the NFL visibility he would want if that is his desire. At UGA his friends and family can have more opportunities to watch him play. Although families always say they will go wherever the son ends up, in this case, traveling to Athens is much easier for them and his friends. Best wishes for his success wherever he decides to go.
