Also, Jones' tight relationship with Marquill Osborne shouldn't be overlooked. Those two have spoken almost every Tuesday throughout the fall.But, whether it's Azzanni or potentially Willie Martinez, look for things to continue to percolate in the coming weeks. Mark Richt, particularly, wanted to do as much recruiting as possible before the dead period and then focus on finishing off his staff. Maryland's D.J. Durkin had a similar approach, releasing his running backs coach only after getting maximum work on the recruiting trail heading into this weekend when the dead period hits.
If something were to happen with Martinez, even with Jones' and Osborne's tight relationship, don't be surprised if there's some possible looking around. It's been consistently indicated to us it "would be hard to see Z or Willie not accepting" if formal offers come from Maryland and Miami, respectively.
