Chris Jones - SG - Teaneck HS - NJ - PITTSBURGH
« on: February 14, 2012, 08:45:39 PM »
Showing some mild interest in him. He played on the Playaz with Kyle Anderson and Darrick Wood. He didn't really get to contribute on that team but I really like him a lot. He's more of "the man" at his high school. He's played a very tough schedule and has done very well against top guys. I've maintained for a long time he's been under recruited and now a lot of high majors are jumping on him.

Now with that being said he isn't exactly a Big East guard right now. I thought he'd be a steal for MAAC school and would develop into a solid A-10 player. For some high major schools at the spring the talent level of guys available drop off significantly. I think Chris' potential is good, he's a strong bodied guard with a very good midrange game. I'm not so sure how I feel about him at St. John's or Big East level. He's kind of a less bouncy, more fundamental Quincy Roberts.

Omar is tenuous for Uconn right now, with Calhoun out and no tourney for them even next season.  He and his father have said so.

Have they?  I only saw posters speculating.  Would suck because he signed LOI and I doubt he can do another BE school

Yet Jakarr can still go to a big east team

Because Jakarr's LOI was null and void.  Omar would have to petition for that from NCAA.  I'm a gambling man and wouldn't put money on him winning that.

I know the rules just think its a stupid one in regards to Jakarr being able to play for another big east team

Yeah I've noticed he loafs around a lot but manages to put up points.  And the Dad was a talking piece last summer I recall.

Seton hall have any ships?  I thought they were accounted for, although things change as we know.
