Four-star RB Jovantae Barnes talks finalists Oklahoma, USC and Florida State with adamgorney in advance of his announcement on Sunday:
“It’s really important. Everything really explains itself. Him being from Vegas and his top schools were actually USC and Oklahoma. Being a West Coast kid you expect him to pick SC so there had to be something over there at OU that made him pick that. That’s what he’s been making me see. He’s been hard on me ever since left and he’s letting it be known he loves Lincoln, it’s all respect, they’re still brothers but at the end of the day they were great before him.
“It says a lot . Just looking at it, you can tell he means everything he’s been saying ever since the beginning. Way before Lincoln left and he was there, when he got the job he was saying it’s a special place and he’s never going to leave. That was the opportunity to see if he was going to leave and he’s had other opportunities and he still didn’t do it. That’s the utmost respect to him and I pay attention to little things like that.”“It was amazing.
“I’ve been going to SC ever since I was in eighth grade so I felt the vibe and knowing the place like the back of my hand I was a little iffy but when I took it again with Lincoln, I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is on top of my list now. I really have to consider this.’ I was like I’m back on board with them so it was a big difference for sure.
“I love Florida State. Florida is my home. Just finding a school I loved in Florida, I had to really pay attention and see what they have that I really love. That was probably my best visit out of my whole five. “It was just the energy. Me and Kenny still have a good bond and he’s at Oregon. He said, ‘I’m forever going to be a fan of you no matter where you go and if you’re not coming to my school I’m going to keep it real with you.’ He was telling me when he was over there that he couldn’t promise he was going to be there but he was going to recruit me while he was there and he’s trying to get me anywhere he goes. We have that big brother relationship.
