Derrick Jones will visit Kentucky, Louisville, Kansas, Indiana & Auburn in August, his dad tells @. Said UConn working hardest now.

has he said when he will decide? August visits could lead to an earlier decision (hopefully with the correct result). They say it is good to be first or last. Cross our fingers. It would be really fun to get this kid.

You know what they always say hard work pays off!

Hard work stays in ones (Jones) mind.

The "Team X is working the hardest" gets thrown around ad nauseam when talking about recruiting. It's pretty much meaningless.

Here's the article from Zags.

Derrick Jones Adds SMU Offer, Planning August Visits

On UConn, which he recently visited: “It’s a great school, the visit was great. I’m not sure where I’m going to go right now. It was great being able to go there. Them coming off a national championship, it’s another school that’s great to have with me.”

Derrick Jones Sr. added that UConn is recruiting his son the hardest right now.

“UConn is definitely recruiting hard, actually I think the hardest in my eyes,” he said.

So help me understand. UConn is great?

It seems like Pops likes us a lot more than his kid.

Yup, that's what I get out of all the quotes from Mr. Jones and his son. Who knows though. It's hard to make assumptions from these recruiting quotes.

He only used the word great to describe his trip 3x. If he really enjoyed the visit, I feel that he would have used great a 4th time.

I don't know . Hard to read the tea leaves. After Adams I was ready for the dominoes to fall but it is still early. Stone, Jones, Enoch just have to wait it out.KO certainly working hard .

I'm not sure if any of you guys have seen this article but it's pretty cool. It's safe to say that Jones' dad will have a pretty big say about where he goes:

Exactly. Stone used it 37 times in a 3-sentence span, which is why we know he's a heavy UConn lean.

Jones basically said, I hate UConn.
