Late signees generally have issues with their academics. I'm not sure if this is the case with Jones, but I always question why guys don't sign with teams by the end of the signing period.

Who was the tweet from? Could even be referring to Lolo Jones the Olympian. Not sure our C Jones rates that high on the sports meter.

No indication it's even hoops related.   Could be about some girl for all we know :)

Precisely.  How much did we speculate on Pelle's tweets?

This is why we should ban it...

Not directed at you, Moose - just at the general board reaction.   There are no surrounding tweets from jones on Twitter, and the recipent doesn't appear to be a teammate.  Just reminding the folks could be about anything going on in an 18 year olds life....

Texas Hoops site from Rivals with an interview with Christian Jones on his commitment to SJU:

http://stjohns.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1385293

Jones 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.
