I can't find anything but I wonder if it is Kellen Jones, a 2011 signee from Houston. He left Michigan in July for reasons that were not identified. No other news since then.

Yes. He was committed to Michigan for this freshman class, but no word as to any reasons for the release other than a change of the players heart. Sounds like a MLB and he's already on campus awaiting NCAA OK to start practicing.

Royce Jenkins-Stone, he is interested in us, visited a few days ago, but as far as I know has not commited yet.

It's kellen Jones:
http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/31697/lb-kellen-jones-enrolls-at-oklahoma
Linebacker Kellen Jones, who left the University of Michigan last month after signing with the Wolverines in February, has enrolled at Oklahoma and is expected to join the Sooner football team.
Jones, rated as the No. 35 outside linebacker by ESPN Recruiting coming out of St. Pius X High School in Houston, was recruited by Arkansas, Illinois, Miami, Missouri and Stanford, among others.
But the 6-foot-1, 225-pound Jones chose to go to OU, largely because of the relationship he developed with Sooner defensive coordinator Brent Venables during the recruiting process.
Jones is expected to be eligible this season, and will have four seasons of eligibility.
At Big Ten media days, Wolverines coach Brady Hoke declined to give a reason when asked why Jones had decided to leave Michigan.
“He’s just not enrolled at the school,” Hoke said.

It came out a couple days ago that Jenkins-Stone did not actually visit and there is speculation that it was kellen jones that the hoopla was all about.

Can he suit up and be valuable this year?

He graduated High School this year. Since he never enrolled at Michigan he is eligible to play for the Sooners this season.

You sure it's not Matt Jones? That way he can take over for Landry when the SF.com faithful jump ship on him for an average game...

He's got a nose for the ball. Size, speed and a good tackler. What's not to like?

Doesn't seem to be an explosive hitter. But with that being said it looks like he has decent speed and strength, and he definitely has a nose for the football. BV and Wort can teach him how to hit.

If he can contribute that would be great but he's going to have to be really special to hit the field as a true freshman at LB

So the rumors out there are pretty troubling. I sincerely hope that they are not true or that there is more to the story.

I thought the same thing about the hits at first. . It does look like he does a really good job of wrapping up though. I wish more players focused more on wrapping up.

scroll down to the bottom of the espn link:
"google the allegations. this kid could be in serious trouble with the law in AA. UM would not let the kid back on campus. Stoops meanwhile opens his legs wide open and says come on in. Physical contact, young woman, unwanted, these are some of the key words."
"I googled these allegations and all I could find were rumors on fan sites about a supposed encounter that seemed to be confirmed only by his not playing for Michigan. Do you have a link I could read that would tell me more?"
"Allegations is a key word as well."

Have you tried googling chloroform, strangulation, gun-shot wounds, and asphyxiation? I think this is what you were looking for.

Better call Bob and Brent as they are under the impression he is really good. Oh you should probably let all the recruiting services know as well :rolleyes:

Because they didn't call and ask your advice?

To crush their enemies, see them driven before them, and hear the lamentation of their cheerleaders.

Pretty solid is what a 3-star is supposed to be.

True. What I mean is he looks underrated.
