I think Jones will come around. I have no doubt CNS will see to that.



No. 1 recruit in Alabama, Crimson Tide commit, looking around after Nick Saban's staff changesANDREW OLSON | 3 HOURS AGO


Alabama formally announced the hiring of seven new assistant coaches on Friday. Nick Saban’s staff overhaul has prompted the top recruit in the Yellowhammer State to look around while maintaining his ā€œcommitmentā€ to the Crimson Tide.

Calera DT Jayson Jones committed to Alabama on July 2, 2018. Since then, however, his potential position coach and coordinator have changed at UA. Brian Baker has replaced Craig Kuligowski as defensive line coach while Pete Golding has been promoted to defensive coordinator taking over for the departed Tosh Lupoi.

ā€œCoaches come and go. I obviously know that,ā€ Jones told AL.com’s Josh Bean. ā€œI just don’t have that same feel with Alabama that I had with the last coaching staff. I know I have to get used to them and build a relationship with each and every one of them, but I just don’t feel that mojo.ā€
Despite the lack of ā€œmojo,ā€ Jones isn’t backing off his pledge to the Tide just yet.

ā€œI’m still committed to Alabama,ā€ Jones said, ā€œbut I’m going to be venturing out more, outside of my state and looking at other schools.ā€

Those other schools include Florida, Oregon, Tennessee, Georgia and Michigan, according to Bean. On the 247Sports Composite, the 6-6, 340-pound Jones is ranked the No. 1 recruit from Alabama, No. 2 defensive tackle and No. 38 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2020.

He is a monster size wise but he is lazy. He fakes being hurt to get out of practice and games.. guys on his coaching staff that are Bama fans say they don’t want him because of his attitude.

Again he had all the size and speed and athleticism just limited because of the ā€œtickerā€ I wouldn’t be surprised if we pulled back

At 6'6 340... There are some shortcomings that get over looked... :)

I remember hearing some questionable stuff about D. Payne back in the day. Mostly when he was an Auburn commit, lol, but that still worked out well!

We have played him in football since middle school. Was dominant in middle school but really did nothing in high school against us. He looks great in the uniform though
 
The article sounds like it wants to make a point about the best in-state kids going elsewhere. Tell you the truth, there may be something to it, but the way Saban recruits nationally, it's just not going to leave a mark.
