Jones coming to campus over 400 pounds (see Brandon Hill and Alphonse Taylor) and then not buckling down and making the grades needed to pass didn't help his cause...........

Deonte Brown came in over 400 pounds as well. We didn't run him off before he had a chance to get in shape with our strength and conditioning program.

We have kids not make it in due to grades every year. I mean, our starting RB this year didn't make the grades coming out of high school. We didn't give up on him either.

Our staff thought enough of Jones to take his commitment very early in last year's cycle due to his potential. Is that potential not there anymore because he didn't do so hot in the classroom and gained some weight?
