CURTIS JONES
COMMITS
TO
INDIANA UNIVERSITY
Indiana's 2016 recruiting class doubled in size Saturday morning, with the commitment of Huntington (W.V.) Prep guard Curtis Jones, a longtime target for the Hoosiers. Jones, who also plays his AAU basketball in the same Boo Williams program as current Hoosiers Rob Johnson and Troy Williams, will be expected to add depth to a back court that loses Yogi Ferrell, Nick Zeisloft and perhaps James Blackmon Jr. (to the NBA) after this season.
Jones is as reputed for his shooting ability as he is for his ball handling, and he projects to impact with both at IU. Working at that position under IU coach Tom Crean was a motivating factor for Jones. "The biggest thing with Indiana is coach Crean's history with guards of making them better," Jones told The Star's Kyle Neddenriep this summer. "He's made average guards into pros and great guards even better. That is a major reason and also the possible chance to play early."
