I hope we're trying to stay in touch with Tyren Jones. If Henry commits to Bama, maybe he won't appreciate being the 3rd RB in their class.
Ryan, do you know much about Jones? I saw in his timeline that UT offered.

He also just put on Twitter that bama is his leader and would make a decision in December, which Id say IF UT win the longer he goes uncommited the better for UT

Regardless of the 247Sports rankings, the Bama Coaching staff views Tyren Jones as the #1 RB in this class. So he is a priority for the staff. Check his highlight tape in a classification (Georgia's large class) that featured 12 different teams that were ranked in the Rivals 100 at some point during the 2011 Season and his leading Walton to a 14-0 record before losing to top 5 nationally ranked Grayson (Robert Nkemdiche's team) in the Championship and you'll see why he is the top RB for the Bama staff.
Tyren knows Bama plans to bring in 3 RBs and he looks forward to competing against those guys.

Jabrill Peppers...More I watch, the more I'm convinced he is the best player in the 2014 class. Barring injury, he will do special things.

Jones hasn't indicated that he's really listening to anyone else right now. If anything happened with Jones, I think Georgia would be the team to watch.

Henry also posted on twitter that UT and Georgia were still in it but that bama was his leader. No sulrise really saban is a hell of a salesman.

Thanks for the info. +1 lived in Alabama for years, believe it or not, some of my best friends are Bama fans, not a bad group of fans what so ever and this post just proves my point even further.
