We'll update any news as it unfolds, but expect everyone already committed to send in letters, the day's only real drama unfolding during the lunch hour when Jones and Kirkpatrick announce. While Kirkpatrick is by all accounts a true longshot, there are lots of good vibes about Jones as of late Tuesday night... Could be a fun surprise.
Update (12:41 pm CT) - The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer is reporting that Jarvis Jones is heading to USC, a bit of a surprise since USC was considered a long shot recently, but perhaps the best decision for him in the short term, as the Trojans are losing all three starting linebackers.
