Hours away from commitment, elite Georgia DE/LB BJ Ojulari reportedly still undecided
If you follow recruiting closely, you know that the decision for many top recruits becomes apparent for the prospect makes his official announcement.
Marrietta, Georgia DE/LB BJ Ojulari is set to announce his commitment at 2:50 p.m. on Friday. The 4-star recruit has announced a final six of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU and Tennessee.
On Thursday, three recruiting experts submitted Crystal Ball predictions on 247Sports that Ojulari will commit to Tennessee. Some paying members of 247Sports expressed frustration to the site’s lead expert for Ojulari’s recruitment, Rusty Mansell, that his Crystal Ball prediction showed “undecided.” Mansell later shared his reason for being undecided: Ojulari remains undecided.
“Just talked with (Ojulari) on eve of his college decision. Told me has not called any schools on his final decision yet. Will make a final decision with his family on Friday Morning and announce at his high school in the afternoon. This one has been back and forth last few days,” Mansell tweeted Thursday night.
Mansell’s tweet would appear to be encouraging for fans of the five non-Tennessee contenders. It will be all settled Friday afternoon and Mansell’s prediction, presumably coming before that, will be telling.

Why would you announce a commitment date before you have made a decision? That makes no sense.
If he is that undecided I wouldn’t get wrapped up on his commitment no matter who it’s to… I imagine he will flip a time or two prior to actually signing..
Seems like a lot of programs are coming at him hard. Whoever he commits to will likely have to fend off multiple challengers.
Reading skills? lol.
He want’s to talk it over with his parents. Yep, that’s what it says.
Then he is going to make the announcement on that afternoon at his high school. Understand that he wants to talk to his parents first, and then announce it later at the high school?
Or would you rather he announce it first at his high school and then talk it over with his parents?
Or maybe he can call he school first, announce it his high school and then tell his parents?
It sounds like he will make his decision, talk it over with his parents that morning, and then make the announcement that afternoon.
BUT if it confuses LSUABC, I’m sure no one else understands the young man’s intentions.
right, doesn’t announcing a commitment date before knowing where you are going, make you academically ineligible to play at a couple of these places, at least.
???
He doesn’t know what he is talking about… You should know that by now. LMAO..
He’s a d@mn space cadet, that dude is out there!
His brother is at UGA and looking to possibly start this year. There’s some warmth there – 30% per 247 – but Kirby is almost complete for 2020 at the position and the depth chart is stacked. LSU may be in the best position if he doesn’t go with the Vols.
They’re also going after Zykevious Walker a whole lot harder. Add Jordan Burch to that as well.
Tennessee or LSU
My thought too.
Tennessee it is, I guess. Sound like a lot of teams are after him and he’s just wanting to set a deadline so he can turn it off and play out this year. After having signaled uncertainty, though, he’s still going to have a lot of phone calls and visits, I’m sure. It’s hard to turn it off when you’re good.
