It is fairly well known that Jones & Bryant don't have any plans on committing for a while.  It is also true that SU is recruiting both, yet do not have any open scholarships. However, If either were to come to JB and say they wanted to commit right now, neither one would have a committable offer.  An offer and a committable offer are two different things.  It happens ever year.  It happens with probably every school.  If you have 5 open scholly's, you can't only offer 5 people.  Noone, not even Cali-mari gets every single offer to commit.

SU has been hit with players going pro earlier than the coaching staff expected this year.  I don't expect that to ever happen again.  I expect they have learned their lesson.  And that is the reason they continue to show interest in Jones & Bryant despite the lack of scholarships.  The odds are, there will be room for at least one of them by the end of the basketball season.

PS - I hate to see people making false rumors about players transferring, when there is no indication of truth.  BJ has OGBJ20 covering for him, but Buss doesn't have anyone in his corner.  It is a shame.  I have seen at least one article, and I think there was even more than that, which indicated that Buss absolutely loves his time in SU.  Both have a great opportunity to get significant PT this year, and I, for one, hope to see it happen for both of them.  How quickly people are ready to dump on current players in favor of the next great thing.
