Jarred Holley, as widely expected the last week or so, made it an official, non-binding, verbal to Pitt.

Holley, who scored 48 touchdowns and had 21 interceptions in his four-year career at Easton, took an official visit to Pittsburgh but canceled trips to Iowa and Virginia. “The official visits are the wining and dining part of the process,” he said. “I feel comfortable with my choice.”

More about it later when the full stories and interviews come.

Meanwhile, it seems Josh Jenkins has crossed Pitt off the list and added a different choice.

“We talked this afternoon,” McCullough explained to MetroNews’ Tony Caridi. “And he is no longer considering Pitt.”

Good news for fans of the gold and blue, but not great.

That’s because the Parkersburg standout just returned from what he described as “a great” visit at Florida State, where former WVU assistant coach Rick Trickett now calls home.

On Thursday, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel will be at the PHS football complex, the second time he has visited there.

It is a process that has seemingly gone on for a very long time and one that appears to be headed toward an 11th hour decision.

A decision that likely will come down to two schools—WVU and Ohio State, with FSU lurking in the dark looking to snatch away Jenkins’ services if the other two schools fail.

The chances with Jenkins were always slim. Seeing him ship off to FSU would be fine by me.
