VERDELL JONES GOES TO INDIANA UNIVERSITY

A very early report today from Minneapolis radio station KFAN 1130 AM, had Verdell Jones headed to the University of Minnesota. But later in the day, Minneapolis local TV station KARE 11, reported that Verdell Jones is headed to Indiana University.

This is kind of a blow for the U of M but they still have a top rated recruiting class with the 5 commitments made over the past year. The University of Minnesota, who was planning on getting Verdell Jones, still has one offer to give out.

According to many different publications, Verdell is a top recruit coming out of Champaign Central High School in Champaign Illinois.

Many athletes were not drawn to the University of Minnesota during the Dan Monson era. After Monson left they brought Tubby Smith in. Smith has always had a way with recruiting and that was a positive. I think in a few years of Tubby Smiths recruiting pays off in the next couple of years to see how his teams do. I think that he has gotten better talent to come here because of his success in his past coaching jobs.

Good luck Verdell Jones.
