Bouncy! Looks great, would be a great addition. Especially if Fred could sell Jared Terrell on Ames too.
"If we get my mans from the sag nasty it going to be problems in the Big12!!!" -Dorsey Walker via Twitter
Anyone know who he's referring to?
Maurice Jones from USC? Possible transfer maybe? Has to sit out this year anyway for academic reasons. SDW sent a message to him via Twitter 12 minutes before posting the above message that read, "@10mjones Let's get it bro" Looked as if they were talking about hoops. (Jones's tweets are protected (you can't read them if he doesn't allow you to)
Just thought I'd forward the information and see if anyone had heard any rumors?
It's a good problem to have if it plays out, also a sign of an improving respect for the program in my opinion. Again, other than a little digging into the tweet this is all hearsay from Twitter.Nice work Josh!! I think your on to something...but another guard??? We are loaded with guards! Lets say Jones does transfer to Iowa State and has to sit out a year. He would then have to compete with Thomas, SDW for playing time?
Better to have a problem of to many guards than a post filled roster with to few guards. The idea of having a crap ton of posts is better on paper than in real life. Happened to the gophers two years ago. was a catastrophy.It's a good problem to have if it plays out, also a sign of an improving respect for the program in my opinion.

also, would he have 1 or 2 years to play?
I think there were some rumblings at one point but Fred probably moved on after we got Monte.

Southern California guard Maurice Jones will miss the upcoming basketball season because of academic reasons but will return for his senior season in 2013-14.
So looks like he'd be a one year player. Some things that may entice him to transfer...
*He'd be closer to home
*Finish his college career with what should be a competitive team
*Familiar faces from high school AAU ball
At 5'7", assume a pg
I don't think he could red shirt if he has academic ineligibility? I may be wrong though.Pretty sure he would be a RS Jr. He was class of 2010. Played in 2010-11. Played in 2011-12. Would RS for 2012-13. Which would put him at a RS Jr.
Also is he a PG or SG?

This.pretty sure you have 5 years to complete 4 regardless of the reason. I could be wrong also.
