Some great quotes in here. Sounds like the visit went really well:
Some great quotes in here. Sounds like the visit went really well:
Coach Kevin Ollie focused on his idea of there being “no one real position” on the floor, with Jones a flexible option in his fast-paced offense.
Ollie — who earlier Monday received a verbal pledge from 2015 point guardJalen Adams — had said he wanted to meet Jones face-to-face before formally extending an offer.
“The offer helps solidify the type of potential Derrick possesses,” WE R 1 coachTerrell Myers told SNY.tv. “To be offered by the National Champions and see the effort they put into his visit truly make us excited about making the trip.”
Derrick Jones Sr. is excited that UConn is recruiting multi-dimensional players.
“Derrick would play really all over,” Jones Sr. said. “[Ollie] is trying to get himself agile players that can be put in places to be successful. The two, the three, the four, you never know. The options are great.”
Jones Sr. praised Ollie for his passionate approach to the team and to recruiting. UConn offered many selling points to Jones, including an emphasis on facilities, personnel, and a “straight to the point” attitude.
“He’s not all about one player,” Jones Sr. said. “It’s about UConn. He made us feel really at home. We’re still going to weigh our options but it’s definitely a school we’re looking at.”
