Paul Jones officially "looking around"

◊ The rumor has been circulating for less than a week, but was confirmed yesterday at PennLive.com. Highly-rated 2010 quarterback prospect and Penn State commit Paul Jones has opened up his recruitment. That's not to say he's de-committing from Penn State. He's just looking around to be sure he's "not missing anything."

"I just want to be certain that I'm not missing out on anything, that I made the right choice," Jones said. "I was really nervous about telling Coach Bradley (of my decision)."

The only bad sign is this quote from Jones' head coach, Jason Ruscitto:

"Jones' opening of his options has forced the Lions to open up their recruitment of a quarterback for the class of 2010. Daryll Clark's back-up, Pat Devlin, recently transferred to the University of Delaware. And 2009 marks Clark's last season of NCAA eligibility.

"They (Penn State) had to open up their options," Ruscitto said, "Because Paul might not be there."

Again, this could just be a passing thing, and Jones will follow through with his commitment. But there is a chance PSU might not land him in the end. Looks like the quarterback search is back on, for now...
