IU going after Verdell Jones

[RobertMontgomery]

Here's a possible point guard. He's got more upside than Terrell Holloway. Check out this video:

Jones is coming to IU this weekend for an unofficial visit.

I hope we get him. Check it out... he's clutch

It's going to be an uphill battle for us to get this guy, but he would definitely fit a need.

Why do you say that? Do you know of other places he's considering?

Kentucky, Southern Illinois, and Tennessee are big ones on his list.

How does he have more upside than Holloway?

I was wondering the same thing. From the videos I've seen, though, Jones looks a lot more athletic than Holloway.

Yeah... I mean, this is stuff Scouts and Rivals has said... They're not always right, but they do normally have a better clue than most of us.

Well Jones easily has the height advantage at 6-4, but with only a 160-lb frame, he's going to need to develop physically, and he is probably more raw.

This kid reminds me of Eshaunte Jones, a kid from Fort Wayne that was supposed to come play for us a year or two ago.
