Texas Hoops site from Rivals with an interview with Christian Jones on his commitment to SJU:
http://stjohns.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1385293Jones told SNY.tv that head coach Steve Lavin and the Red Storm coaching staff was a primary reason he chose St. John's over schools such as Oklahoma State and Auburn. Additionally, Jones looks to reunite with familiar faces. He will join guards and fellow Texans D'Angelo Harrison and Jamal Branch on the roster. Also on the team is guard Phil Greene, who played at IMG.
"They're fun, they're energetic, they get you going, and they're just overall good," Jones said. "When they're all together, we all had fun. And then their style of play, they're fast, they're up-tempo. That's how I came from. With IMG, that's how we were, real fast, they don't slow the ball down."
Jones is expected to suit up for St. John's in the fall as a combo forward. Physically, he was a power forward at Bowie, but his athleticism allowed him to defend small forwards and shooting guards. Jones is looking to see time as a small forward in addition to power forward because of his quickness.
