THE BEST IN ILLINOIS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL RECRUITING!

 

 

Verdell Jones III Receives Big 10 Offer
by Jason McGee
June 27, 2007

 

Verdell Jones III of Champaign Central has received his first Big 10 offer. It has been extended to Jones from Tubby Smith and the Minnesota Golden Gophers. This offer will be added to his host of others including the likes of Kentucky, Tennessee and DePaul.

MSH has been high on Jones for a number of years. He is a national top 100 player that features superb point guard skills. At 6'4", Jones also has a good jumpshot that extends to the three-point line and can slide over to the shooting guard position if need be. He can light up the basket at any time and can fill up the stat sheet in a hurry.

Jones has improved his game performance with each year of experience. Expect this season to be more of the same as he will lead his Maroons in a conference run and bid for a state title.
