One day after visiting commit Will Jackson of Farragut High in Knoxville, Tenn. and prospect Nolan MacMillan of The Hun School in Princeton, N.J., Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson turned his focus toward the 2010 recruiting class when he dropped in on Gainesville junior receiver Tailer Jones earlier today.

"Coach Johnson seems like a great guy," said Jones, who holds scholarship offers from Arkansas, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Miami, Ole Miss, North Carolina, N.C. State, Ohio State, South Carolina and West Virginia.

"He comes across as real low key with no hype. He doesn't try to overexert himself. He acts like he is."

Johnson was joined by assistant coach Jeff Monken.

"They talked about Georgia Tech being a great school and how a degree from there is one of the best you can get," Jones said.

"They also talked about how they're able to compete with some of the best teams in the ACC."

The short meeting included a brief discussion on the Jan. 31 junior day itinerary at Georgia Tech.

"Coach Johnson just kind of gave me an outline on what will happen on junior day," Jones said.

Jones plans to attend junior days at Notre Dame and Ohio State during the previous weekend.

"I have a lot of interest in Georgia Tech," Jones said, when asked how he rates the Jackets.

Weis added the Irish to Jones' long list of suitors.

"He slid an envelope across the table and told me to open it up," Jones said. "Right then I knew it was an offer letter. I was overwhelmed … speechless … this was really happening."

Jones wasn't the only one taken aback.

"My dad was in there too; he wanted to cry but he held it back," he said.

After sharing the offer, Weis explained to Jones the Irish recruiting philosophy.

"He was just telling me that they're not in any rush," Jones said. "They were not going to try and force me to commit. He said to take all the time I need. If I'm comfortable and choose their college, he said just call and let them know."

Jones was glad to hear he wouldn't be pressured into an early decision.

Jones would like to make his choice by June, but says that if he keeps ketting offers at this pace he may have to stretch things out again. He plans to cut his list to five after taking as many spring visits as he can, and will focus on how strong the degree is from that school, the environment the coaches have built, and the opportunity for younger players.

Yeah, it's definitely the offensive philosophy that he should be concerned with.

Georgia Tech threw the ball 165 times last year, with their leading receiver catching 39 passes and no one else even in double digits (next highest = 8).

If you're going to play for Paul Johnson you better be the #1 receiver, and you better be okay with 30-50 grabs a season, hoping your playmaking, consistency, and natural abilities are good enough to get you in the NFL.

yes

"I plan to commit on my birthday, which is July 19," he said. "I'll hit some one-day camps in June, that way I can get a look at the schools before I make a decision."
