Apple Valley's Jones calling the shots with recruiters
Tyus Jones' basketball career is temporarily on hold. The Apple Valley phenom suffered a torn ligament in his right thumb this summer, had surgery two weeks ago and should not resume basketball activities for an additional month.
"I'll be ready for the season,[url=http://merrellshoesonsaleformen.blogspot.com/][b]http://merrellshoesonsaleformen.blogspot.com/[/b][/url]," he said, his shooting hand protected by a splint.
On Sunday, Gophers coach Tubby Smith, Michigan State's Tom Izzo and Stanford's Johnny Dawkins found Apple Valley to invest time with him. Kentucky coach John Calipari jetted set for a 30-minute sales pitch Monday. North Carolina's Roy Williams is scheduled to go to in a few days. More coaches will travel to see him in this contact period.
Such is life for that nation's top-ranked point guard in the Class of 2014,[url=http://duveticaitalia.webmium.com/][b]Duvetica piumini[/b][/url].
"It's definitely starting to have more serious,[url=http://merrellshoesonsaleformen.blogspot.com/][b]merrell shoes for men[/b][/url]," Jones said. "You can type of feel it. I'm still enjoying it, but it is picking up."
For now, Jones remains "wide open" in recruiting and doesn't anticipate he'll select a school until before his senior season. He has scholarship offers from virtually every elite program, a list that includes Duke,[url=http://woolricharcticparkasweden.albirank.net/][b]woolrich online shop sweden göteborg[/b][/url], North Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas and Michigan State.
He's options, really attractive options, but in recruiting, that is one blessing and a curse. It's wonderful to become wanted, however the pressure also can become overbearing otherwise handled properly.
At its worst,[url=http://woolricharcticparkasweden.albirank.net/][b]woolrich outlet[/b][/url], college recruiting,[url=http://woolricharcticparkauomooutlet.olimx.com/][b]Woolrich Parka Italy[/b][/url], particularly football and basketball, deteriorates into an ugly exercise of self-importance and underhanded tactics. Coaches pressure kids to provide verbal commitments. Blue-chip recruits often bathe for the reason that adulation and attention and act as if their high schools ought to be renamed in their honor.
Recruiting may be the lifeblood for programs and stays wildly popular with fans and media, but sometimes it enables you to want to hold your nose.
That is what makes Jones' approach so refreshing,[url=http://rogervivierweddingshoes.olimx.com/][b]cheap 2013 roger vivier wedding shoes for sale[/b][/url]. He enjoys the process but doesn't necessarily love to be recruited.
There's a distinct difference in those two things. He formulated a smart, mature strategy to handle his recruitment with input from his tight circle of members of the family.
The NCAA allowed coaches to create unlimited phone calls and texts to recruits starting June 15. Jones' camp contacted schools recruiting him and asked that they keep communication to a minimum,[url=http://rogervivierhighheels.albirank.net/][b]sell cheap Roger Vivier High Heels Roger Vivier outlet online store[/b][/url]. Basically said excitedly that Jones doesn't need his ego stroked so don't bombard him with texts saying how much they love him.
"[I] have a phone bill too," Jones said, smiling. "I heard that from my grandpa. The coaches happen to be very respectful, also it hasn't been bad at all."
He gets maybe two texts each day from coaches, even fewer phone calls. Rather than spending all his time on the phone with recruiters,[url=http://woolricharcticparkauomooutlet.olimx.com/][b]Woolrich Arctic Parka Outlet[/b][/url], he can be worried about other things for example school work, basketball and the social life.
"We didn't want it to all of a sudden become a free-for-all for coaches," said older brother,[url=http://woolricharcticparkauomooutlet.olimx.com/][b]Woolrich Parka Italy Outlet[/b][/url], Jadee. "We attempted to communicate with them more isn't just better. Do not attempt and win by texting and calling him the most."
Jones and his family arranged to take unofficial visits to schools that intrigue him probably the most. His contingent already visited the Gophers,[url=http://rogervivierwedges2013.webstarts.com/][b]roger vivier wedges 2013 online shop[/b][/url], Baylor,[url=http://peutereyparkaonlineshopwomen.olimx.com/][b]peuterey parka online shop[/b][/url], Michigan State and Ohio State. They intend to visit Duke,[url=http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/][b]DUVETICA Piumini Italy[/b][/url], New york, Kentucky and Kansas soon.
That isn't cheap. Recruits be forced to pay their own expenses on unofficial visits. But Jones' family wants to gain as much information as you possibly can before deciding where you can take his five official visits this winter.
"It's difficult, but you have to consider it as an investment into the future," said Debbie Jones, his mother.
Jones really wants to take his time,[url=http://duveticaitalia.webmium.com/][b]duvetica shop online[/b][/url], allow the process play out. He admits "there's definitely pressure to remain at home" but that seems like a supreme long shot for that Gophers considering their competitors. He's evaluating many factors in each program,[url=http://woolricharcticparkasweden.albirank.net/][b]woolrich online shop[/b][/url], but his goal is to play in the NBA.
"I think that's any basketball player's dream," he explained. "That will be in the back of your head. But right now I'm just concentrating on the next level. Even if you're looking at the NBA you need to go to college and perform."
The competition for his services only will intensify as his recruitment narrows in scope. Talented point guards are always in hot demand, and Jones is the best nationally in his class. College basketball's aristocracy -- Duke, New york, Kentucky, Kansas -- maintain their place because they don't like to lose in recruiting either.
