Christian Jones

He looks like a more athletic, less powerful Ricardo Gathers.

I assume Darrick is not qualifying.
I also assume Lavin may be expecting a one-and-done next year and/or a transfer request.
 

I think Steve is anticipating 3, and possibly as many as 5 spots to fill from the 2013 class.
 

CR, this is a quote from Steve from last week.

On 2013 recruiting class:
"This is where we have the advantage. Next year right now we’re only going to have one scholarship (…) unless someone goes pro early which we’re always prepared for or somebody eliminates themselves, there’s always a potential transfer, but we have the luxury now to move at a deliberate pace."

That sounds to me like he doesn't expect a lot of turnover. Like he says, things can always happen.. but he doesn't see himself having to get another big class.
 
Christian Jones – 6’6 Post-Grad WF – IMG Post Grad: A Texan, Jones is one of those guys you wind up and let him play. He is strong, has a 40-inch vertical and gets a lot accomplished due to his activity and athletic ability. Jones is a strong and well-built wing that is quick off the floor, a good offensive rebounder, and is an effective mid-range shooter when open. 
 

Where was this from?

 They also have him at 6'6
 
 Asked on Rivals board if anyone knew anything and Bossi responded with this-

Freakish leaper who is pretty strong. Went to prep to develop into more of a wing but was more of an undersized four man with heart and that freaky athleticism at about 6-4/6-5 when I last saw him in high school. Didn't get to see him as a prep schooler. Like a poor man's Anthony Glover last time I saw him.
 
 Lavin just tweeted saying we have eight players for 2012 class.

1. Sampson
2. Obekpa
3. Balamou
4. Hooper
5. Wood
6. Sanchez
7. Borgual

Who am I missing
 
Are we sure he just isn't talking about Branch?

Dom, Amir, Greene, Gift, Harrison are the 5 back

1 Sampson
2 Sanchez
3 Obekpa
4 Marco
5 Felix
6 Hooper
7 Wood
8 Branch  
 
Think you're right - but does this mean Wood is qualified, and part of the 2012 class?

I don't think it's wood as Lavs said big recruiting weekend and still adding for 2012
 
 So you think jones could've committed?
 

No idea what's going on at this point. Lavin says there's a big recruiting weekend and that we'll have 13 guys this year. That means there is more in store for us. Choz on johnnyjungle said that Lavin covets a certain assistant coach as well, so that could be another surprise.

I'm not gonna lie, the way Choz teased about that... I'm more excited for the name of Lavin's top choice for an assistant to leak than for the names of any additional recruits at this point.

Even if we don't get him... I'm real interested to hear who coach's top choice would be.
 
Whomever it is it will be a great addition to our staff, that I have no doubt.
Coach clearly understands what it takes to built a top level program.  
 
 Zags reports.

Jones enjoyed his visit and is leaning for stjbb over auburn and oklahoma st
 

Wow - where did the Auburn and OK State offers come from? Thought he had no D-1 interest before his visit here....Talk about a recruitment flying under the radar!
