DEL.ICIO.USHow It Went: Gainesville junior WR Jones visits Alabama
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Three days after receiving his first scholarship offer, Gainesville junior receiver Tailer Jones headed to Tuscaloosa, Ala. on Saturday to watch Alabama host Ole Miss.
Jones was hoping the Crimson Tide would follow Arkansas’ lead and aware him his second overall offer.
But he’ll need to wait at least 10 days to determine if the Tide will offer.
“I would say they are very interested,” Jones said. “My recruiting coach, [Kirby] Smart, said that he knew about Gainesville, me and what I’ve been doing.
“He said they’ve been keeping a close watch on me.”
Jones’ first trip to Bryant-Denny Stadium exceeded his expectations.
“It was definitely a great atmosphere,” he said. “Their fans are devoted. You could tell it was an SEC school. They definitely have some of the best facilities I’ve seen.
“Their fans knew we were the recruits. They were yelling ‘go to Alabama.’”
Georgia Tech might beat Alabama to the punch and award Jones with his second overall scholarship offer.
“Tech is recruiting me hard,” said Jones, who plans to attend Tech’s Nov. 1 home game against Florida State.
