Lamont Jones - PG - American Christian School - Aston, PA - IONA

Has anyone heard where this young man will attend school next year..

American Chrsitian is closing down and I haven't heard a word about where he was headed...     If I remember correctly when he left NYC, his mother wanted to get him out of the city...

"In other prep school news, the Philly Inquirer reports that former American Christian coach Tony Bergeron is going to Blair (Pa.) Christian and taking junior guard Lamont "Momo" Jones and freshman guard Achraf Yacoubou with him."

Seton Hall, St. John’s, South Florida, Oklahoma State, Xavier, UMass and Providence have all made formal scholarship offers to Jones. Jones, who had previously verbally committed to Louisville before backing out last summer, hasn’t listed any favorites.

This kid is all over  the place

Rice has Jones for Momo
Who says you can't go home again?

Lamont (Momo) Jones left Rice last summer to play for Tony Bergeron at American Christian. American Christian closed in June. Jones was set to transfer to New Jersey power St. Anthony last month, but head coach Bobby Hurley told Zagsblog.net that it was against school policy to accept senior transfers.

Now, Jones may be on his way back to Rice.

Raiders coach Maurice Hicks said he plans to meet this week with Jones' mother, Jeneen Fuller, to talk about Jones returning to Rice.

"We would love to have him back," Hicks said by phone last night. "In my opinion he should have never left. I just think that he's a Rice Raider. I saw that when he was younger and I still see that today."

The CHSAA Scholastic Eligibility Committee, a group composed of principals from member schools, would have to rule on Jones' eligibility to play in the upcoming school year.

League transfer rules require incoming players to sit out a season if they suited up for another school in the previous school year, said Holy Cross coach and Diocese of Brooklyn basketball chairman Paul Gilvary, but the committee can elect to waive the rule in extenuating circumstances.

Hicks said he didn't believe Jones would have to sit out any portion of the CHSAA season because American Christian closed its high school. He also didn't think the Harlem school would have any ill feelings toward Jones, who committed to Louisville as a sophomore but backed out last summer.

"That was a family decision and I understand that," Hicks said. "We miss him and we still miss him. If he was here last year, I think we would have won the state championship."

Jones, a 6-1 guard listed as a three-star prospect by Scout.com, would join Durand Scott in the backcourt if he returns to the Manhattan Catholic high school. The Raiders would also be seen as favorites to win the CHSAA city title.

"They would be very good together," Hicks said of a potential Scott-Jones backcourt. "That would be the best backcourt in the country."

Seton Hall, St. John's, South Florida, Oklahoma State, Xavier, UMass and Providence have all made formal scholarship offers to Jones.

Jones could not be reached for comment

How many schools can a kid go to? High School basketball and the whole transfer situation is a joke

The most impressive player in the scrimmage was Oak Hill's 6-0 PG Lamont "MoMo" Jones, who last year played with current Memphis freshman, Tyreke Evans, at American Christian School (Aston, Pa.). After that school closed, Jones was planning to enroll at Rice High School in New York City. However, when Oklahoma commit, Tommy Mason-Griffin, backed out on his earlier decision to attend Oak Hill, and stayed for his senior year at Madison (Houston), Jones quickly jumped at the opportunity to join Oak Hill. He is not jet-quick -- as Brandon Jennings, Oak Hill's point guard for the past two years, was. But, he is strong, confident, and a better shooter than Jennings. Jones led the Warriors in scoring with a combined 29 points and had eight assists. He made 4 of 7 3-point attempts, and was 8-for-8 at the free throw line. He has that Big Apple toughness, plays aggressive defense. Although he is primarily a scoring lead guard, he made some outstanding passes, and was a team player last night. Syracuse could be the school to beat in his recruitment, with Virginia Tech, Charlotte, Seton Hall, Cincinnati and others still involved.
