I believe he was a soft verbal to Baylor before. This hurts because he was our back up plan in case our soft verbal from Texas on the OL decommits. The next OL on our list would probably be Rishaw if we want him.
Well, with recruiting now-a-days, if you can't trust a "verbal commitment", then you shouldn't fear a "soft verbal". Securing Edwards would have been nice, but we still have : Dworaczyk Hebert McCoy Wilson ....and then Jones still in the fold (although, like you alluded to, he's a "soft verbal").
I think Jones is actually pretty solid to LSU, assuming his official visit goes well with his mom. McCoy is one we may have to worry about. Supposedly, he's taking an official visit to WVU this weekend.
