  We may not have the biggest team around, but we may have the fastest next year!

Extremely impressive 110 time.  He needs to run track instead, honestly.

or he could just do both.

Need to update the thread title.  He won the long jump too.

Extremely impressive. 

[mustache eagle 2,513]

and apparently did it with a strained quad or hammy ... if that is the case then the dude is a true competitor!

Yeah i think this kid is gonna turn some heads in the orange and blue. Definition of a true athelete!

[bikeriderga 137]

Doubt any receivers are going to be running past Mr. Jones.

He will probably be used in Kick Off / Punt Returns before it is over.

[bigbird 61,092]

The speed we are recruiting in the secondary has been unmatched in the last few years.

"His recent time in the 110 hurdles is the fourth fastest in the U.S. this year. His long jump was the ninth best in the country."

Wow! Elite category here.

[bigbird 61,092]

Sidenote:

It's also about 2 seconds slower than RGIII's record that he set in HS.  He was a freak athlete.

From what I've seen and read about Jonathan Jones, the kid is W-I-N-N-E-R and bleeds blue and orange.  Obviously he has the pure athletic ability to be successful, but he also possesses the winner attitude that makes all the difference.  Congratulations on all your high school accolades, and War Eagle Jonathan Jones!!

correct me if i am wrong ... elite track athletes, mentally, have that little something extra ... kinda like golf - you can be very, very talented - but the mentality to be a winner in track is what makes you elite.

that will translate very, very well to college football.

Thank you  :'(

sorry couldn't help myself but you are correct about the mentality of golf. Just look at Tiger Woods today as compared to 3 years ago. Its what's between the ears

I got to see J Jones play once last year. He played on a very good team. He did not get to do much in the game I saw because they were just killing the team they played. Two things struck me when I watched him.

1. Closing speed.

2. He plays taller than you think. I dso not believe they have him listed at 6 feet, but he played and looked at least 6 feet.

I cannot believe Jones was a 3 star out of HS.

I wouldn't be too shocked about the stars thing. DB's are notoriously hard to evaluate coming out of high school, if for no other reason than that they generally don't put out very telling stat lines. If a DB is elite in high school, it usually just results in the opposing team never throwing to his side of the field, so the interception and deflection numbers might not be there.  Heck, in some case the film might not even be there. So when it comes to DB's I generally put a lot more faith in the coaches' evaluations than anyone else's (more so than usual).

JJ and JH are insanely fast. Will be great to see what they can do here at AU, very excited about these two guys.
