Per 247Sports' Brian Ethridge, Plano, Texas five-star running back Soso Jamabo "has always been secretive of his recruitment." But that doesn't mean Jamabo doesn't have a sense of humor about the process -- and in fact, it's a pretty damn sharp sense of humor at that.
Via Jamabo's own Twitter feed, here's his response on local news when asked to name his finalists:
Congratulations, University of Phoenix and ITT Tech! Now all you need for one of you to secure Jamabo's signature is to, you know, field a football team.
And we haven't even gotten to the best part: Jamabo doubling down on his two "finalists" on Twitter Monday:

But sorry, Phoenices: when all is said and done, Jamabo is expected to sign with either Texas (which he visited last weekend) or UCLA. Here's his 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions:
How impressive is Jamabo as an athlete? CBSSports.com's Matt Norlander wrote in summer 2014 that he could have had a Power 5 future in basketball if he decided to pursuea two-sport career.
