Well ok. Maybe not 'physical' as in strength but thought I read works hard/competitive, so with size I would think that could help with rebounding. But what do I know?
Robert Jones commits to ISU

Deonte Burton had 6.4 pts and 1.4 rpg at Marquette before coming here. Stats aren't everything. Burton was a high ranked recruit tho.
Let's say Foster or Conditt got into foul trouble next season. We have no other big in the program. This is much needed depth and competition.
Big guys get hurt more often then guards. We'd have no reserve if we had an injury in the post

His rivals profile show offers from Penn State and Xavier. With little knowledge on his HS recruitment, seems odd to end up at Denver.

Not to mention Foster is a big man with a foot injury history. I hope he never is injured again but that's definitely concerning
Some offers are more committable than others goes in basketball I would imagine like in football.His rivals profile show offers from Penn State and Xavier. With little knowledge on his HS recruitment, seems odd to end up at Denver.

Have no idea who that is but from that tweet it’s ISU and Oakland University heavily evolved? Not sure how that is even a competition.
Well minus the whole in California thing, ISU is in a good spot.
I learned today Oakland is in Michigan. I’m a ******* moron.
Oakland University is in Michigan. Its where Dorsey-Walker and Percy Gibson transferred to after ISU.

He’s from Michigan so I assume that’s why they were mentioned.
I have no issue with TJ & Staff jumping on big guys early. The elite bigs will be heavily recruited by top 20 teams. Both guys look like they fill a need- Jones looks like a traditional 5 and can be a solid post defender/rebounder. Jaz looks like a prototypical stretch 4 who can rebound and hit 3's. I would still like to get a physical post like the kid from Indian Hills. The reality is both these new recruits might be better than Foster and Conditt.
Seems like there is always a lot more high scoring guards/wings in the portal- so that is where I would expect TJ to staff to bring in some instant impact guys.
I don’t think either of those guys are as good as Foster..
Not the sexy signing. Not a starter. But it’s not a bad addition either. High character guy, hard worker. Defiantly a culture signing. The type of practice body for Foster and Conditt to work against. Someone teammates can learn from in the gym who puts in the extra work. We still have scholarships to get some better guys, but if Foster or Conditt get hurt we will be glad to have him.
Who knows, he could learn some things from Green and be a pleasant surprise even if he never starts a game.

I would tend to agree, based on Foster's limited play I think he is the real deal But Foster had surgery on a foot injury that goes back to his HS days. Plus there are a lot of 4 & 5 star kids that don't pan out in college. So I see both Jones and Kunc as strong competition for Conditt and Foster.
Honestly I hope they are. We’ve desperately needed competition at the 4/5 position.
