So basically if Miles Bridges (Jones' friend and teammate) chooses Kentucky over Michigan State and IU, that may pave the way for CuJo to come here instead of a package deal to IU. They might end up at the same school but they're not a package. Bridges is actually really tight with Cassius Winston, more so than Jones. These "package deals" rarely ever happen.. I'd be surprised if Winston goes anywhere besides Michigan State. I think Bridges is headed there also.

indiana.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1803017Clearly CuJo's dad is a huge fan of Indiana... don't know if this is subscription content or not so I won't quote it, but suffice to say that his dad had multiple gushing quotes about the visit to Indiana, how they're in daily contact with the staff, and how excited CuJo was to visit. No quotes regarding Gtown, but to be taken with a grain of salt, as it's an IU recruiting site. Only other nugget is that his dad confirms they're looking to make a decision before the November signing period.

I think he's going to Indiana. No inside info or anything like that, just a hunch from reading the tea leaves.

It's starting to seem as though Crean is slow playing Jones as he chases other kids like Bruce Brown, Rawle Akins, Jaylen Fisher ect.. As the article states he already has a shooter for 2016 and he also has a lead guard for 2016 in the transfer from Pitt so they can be choosy on their next commitments.. Unfortunately I don't think it brings him any closer to picking G'town .. If I'm the staff I'd start looking at other kids, if nothing else it'll let these kids know they aren't waiting on them.. Who knows it may spark something..

IU watched Jones workout at Huntington Prep on the 15th…. Gtown was also there as B&G stated earlier

I don't like the fact that after his visit to GU he adds a school that hadn't been previously in the race.

Who knows it may spark something..I think the staff has demonstrated that they are looking at other kids. They have had Woods on campus, and reportedly will have Norvell and Brown on campus sometime in the next month. With only 1 scholarship reportedly left for the guard position in this class, I'm pretty sure the staff is telling all these kids, first to commit gets the scholarship. For all we know, JT3 and staff might be slow playing Jones. IMO, Brown (my new top choice of guards we are on) and Woods are a lot better prospects then Jones. I doubt that if Jones called either JT3 or Crean and said he wanted to commit, that either would say hold off for a couple weeks. With recruiting these "Top 100 Prospects", it's like musical chairs, you better get the first chair available instead of waiting for a seat. Otherwise you can find yourself without a seat and out of the competition when the music stops! I doubt we get Jones and as each day passes, I doubt we get Woods! Most of the kids we get, commit shortly after their visits. I can't remember a prospect that committed to Georgetown a month or more after their visit!

Has anyone reported that there is only one guard scholarship left for this class? In my opinion, if, say Woods and Jones wanted to commit and we turned one of them away, that would be a terrible, terrible move.

He had the whole hat ceremony at his high school.

While I am sure the staff has a wish list, I have to believe they know we can't afford to turn away a strong ranked player without 98% certainty that they would get a commit from a player higher up our list.

Most of the kids we get, commit shortly after their visits. I can't remember a prospect that committed to Georgetown a month or more after their visit! I'm talking about kids outside of Jones, Woods, Brown & Norvell, as you alluded to above you don't have a good feeling about Jones or Woods and as of now there's not much reason to get excited about Brown or Norvell either.. The staff has done their due diligence in making it known to each of these kids that they're wanted but as we read this board tonight there's not one of them that would be considered a G'town lean.. That's why I posted that maybe it's time to start making in roads with "other" prospects.. The reason I brought up the slow play aspect with IU & Jones is that it's obvious that they're very high on his list, his Pop's has raved about how much he enjoyed his visit and likes the IU's program to a few different IU basketball sites.. On the opposing side of it he hasn't spoken to any G'town centric sites like HoyaReport, Hoya247 or CasualHoya about his visit to the Hilltop which can be taken fwiw but it's hard to look at it in a positive or even neutral light.. We at least got an "I loved it" out of Woods.. He named a top 4 of IU, G'town, Ok. State & California but he also "postponed" his official to Ok. State last weekend, he says he isn't sure when/if he'll reschedule it and he's not sure if he'll visit Cal either.. So when I look at all of this admittedly circumstantial evidence, I can't help but to ask why doesn't he just commit to IU now? Could it be because they're in it with Brown for the long haul and since they have Newkirk in place they know they can make a good run at Fisher as well?

And there was a report up above somewhere that one of CuJo's parents (Moms, no doubt) was very much taken with GU. And that may be just as valuable as Pops' opinion, even though Moms hasn't been shooting off her mouth all over the place.

Maybe pops is sold but Curt is not.. That's how I read it. Maybe Curtis is waiting until his pops finally warms to GU. Mom could probably accelerate that process if she likes. TBT, no one really knows what is going on outside of Curtis and his family. Let's hope he chooses GU.

We have room for two guards.

We have room for two guards. Oh I didn't say or think the staff was slow playing Jones. I don't believe that any good coach would slow play a top 100 talent like Jones for the possibility of another. I was just throwing out all potential possibilities just to state we have no clue of what's going on with Jones or ant of these kids. B&G, you said we have room for 2 guards. Is that another guard and Mosely, or Mosely and 2 other guards? I can't imagine the staff bringing 3 guards in the same class unless their assuming Peak is leaving for the NBA at the end of the year but what do I know. I'll be honest, I'm hoping we get Brown. I think Brown (and Mosely backcourt) can do a lot for us. Thanks B&G for the info!
