Any coach that has dealt with recruiting dreads one thing once he gets a player to commit. Its the thought that one day he may get a phone call saying that a player would like to de-commit. It is a tough decision for the player and it usually because of changes in a program or a player feeling better with a different school. Regardless of the reasoning it is always important for a recruit to make the best decision for himself regardless of pressure, I mean its a decision a player has to be sure about in the end.
Well one of the best players in the state of Georgia officially de-committed from Stanford. Tai-ler Jones, a 6'0 185 lbs. receiver out of Gainesville High school, switched his commitment to Notre Dame. The switch came following Jones' official visit to Notre Dame for the USC game. The way Notre Dame spreads the ball around and gets its receivers open down the field seems like it would be a great fit for Jones' style of play. Tai-ler is an extremely quick and versatile player who projects as either a receiver or defensive back. I see him playing receiver because of his knack for getting open and his quickness to make plays in the open field. Jones has great hands and good route running ability. He has good strength and with a commitment to one side of the ball I think he has the ability to make plays much like current Notre Dame player Golden Tate. Jones even shows promise returning punts and kicks.
Check out this video that features highlights of Jones throughout Gainesville High school's game against North Hall. Jones wears #9 and plays both receiver as well as safety.
