I'm guessing the Pat Signal today is from Jones, based on timing. The Trib article on Tuesday said that Jones would let coaches know on Sunday, but wouldn't announce until signing day on the 20th.
Coaches went all out for him. Four coaches went to visit him at home. From the Trib article, the Steelers and Pickett stood out as key reasons he's intrigued with Pitt:
When Jones (6-foot-2, 170 pounds) visited Pitt earlier this month, Conn said his mother accompanied him and was impressed by the campus and coaching staff. Pitt's relationship with the Steelers was a big draw, too, he said.
But Jones also was looking at more practical reasons to consider Pitt.
“Having a (quarterback) who's younger and has the ability to get him the ball is important to him,” Conn said. “He was impressed with Kenny (Pickett) and the game with Miami.”
