I am really baffled and intrigued by the Cardale Jones situation. There has been much documented about his behavioral and maturity issues. He was almost kicked off the team on multiple occasions this year alone. Yet his on-field and off-field composure over the last six weeks has been remarkable. While key events can transform people, maturation is not a "light switch" process. I'm very curious to see how things play out.
There has been talk that Jones, is eligible for the draft. He has came out and said he will not look at the draft, because he wants to get his degree first. So maybe he is growing, or he has been taught the right thing to say.
I am also interested to see how the QB situation plays out. Cardale at one point was the number two QB, until right before Barret took over. I am not sure if Barret just beat him out or it was some of his maturity issues. Cardale came to campus very over weight and pudgy, He was not able to get through the first few practices. He has clearly cleared up his conditioning issues.
This is the kid who tweeted going to class is a joke. I'll bet he's been taught what to say since. He should turn pro. There's an incredible NFL demand for QBs and short supply. His stock will never be higher. I bet he would at least be a second round pick. He won't go this high if he goes back to school and sits.
RJM, the tweet was from a fake account. Didn't even spell his name right in the twitter handle. And the tweet was from 2012.
