FWIW, I'd prefer Jones for a few reasons, but Bolden is certainly a top-flite prospect. If PJ can't *** (as you say), Bolden would definitely work.
My primary concern with losing PJ is the ramifications re: western PA. Losing Pryor and Jones (especially to sPitt) would have long-term effects (IMO).

Yes, PJ made his own bed here. Funny how he calls CJ and says he is misquoted or everything is taken out of context. I'm glad the staff told him if he was looking, so were they. I like the fact Bolden was on campus the same weekend. Makes it look like a sh*t or get off the pot PJ type of thing.
Got to admit, while Jones is the better talent, his updates nauseate me to the fullest extent. He is beginning to become a drama queen himself. If he isn't sure about decisions and always seems to be misquoted, then STOP DOING INTERVIEWS. He has no problem doing them.
His mother also helped make his bed for all the criticism by posting on the board. When he makes his decision, his recruitment ends. It's a Jones thing. That got old and have to admit, the kissing as* by the posters towards Jen made me puke.
I hope Bolden enjoyed his visit and hope its not the last we hear from him. I think Jones continues this drama filled soap opera. Bolden came over on his own dime. That tells me he is interested.
As far as losing him to Pitt, yes, that would be a hit. However, the kid would be making the worst mistake of his life just to be with his WPIAL buddies. That is like turning down a Stanford education to go to Temple.
Does it have long term ramifications? The way I look at things - Pitt has gotten Stinkston, Dickerson, Byham, Malecki; Lumpy; Burns, Matha, DeCicco, Nix, Nix, Fields, among others. Many with decent offer sheets and several with high star counts. The end result? A bunch of underachievers, or busts entirely. The only one worth a crap is DeCicco. While Pitt has "ruled the WPIAL" according to their fans, PSU has raped Maryland and gotten some significant kids from bordering states - NJ and Delaware. There is still a wide gap between the two programs in every shape of form.
Losing Pryor hurt. As for Dorian Bell and Corey Brown, time will tell. I think Bell will be a bust, and will transfer at some point. JMO.
