When a kid gets an offer from Cal I'll tell you the correct order of events. Cal offers. Kid passes out. Kid wakes up. When he realizes it wasn't a dream he immediately accepts offer and plays for UK.

Jones with another huge game this morning in front of Calipari: 27 points and 8 assists to beat out Julius Randle's 31 points and 17 rebounds.
Kid has major, major game. The epitome of a point guard. Makes the right play every time, whether that is scoring or distributing.

Will be interested to see who UK covets more: Emmanuel Mudiay or Jones. Mudiay has been at the top of the list for a long time.

Unless he, of course, doesn't play for UK and plays for Michigan State instead.

For now, I don't really see Jones ending up at Kentucky. Really wants to play with Jahlil Okafor at the next level.
My guess that right now the top tier is Minnesota, Michigan State, Ohio State and Duke in no particular order.
Plus, UK already in great shape with Mudiay, who is no slouch himself (Judge Smails voice).

I want Tyus Jones more. My son, who is not even two, would just be old enough to see and talk about a UK player with his same first name... which we know, isn't common. Maybe I could get a pic of them together at a game or something for his bedroom wall. Would be cool.

Jones with 30 points and 10 assists last night. Along with Randle and Wiggins, has been the star of this event.

Many say Michigan State is in the lead for tyus. and that Jahlil and Tyus are a package deal. Also other rumors are Jabari is talking Cliff Alexander into Michigan State. And that The Family Point Gaurd Wes Clark has said that him and James Young wanna play together and that if they decided to do package deal it would be Michigan State.

Here's some stuff on Mudiay from NBA Camp. Named Kentucky his favorite to me at the Flyin to the Hoop event in Dayton back in January.

Notes and quotes from Friday night's session at the NBPA Top 100

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Several big name prospects hear from UK to kick off the contact period and the Cats show interest in a 2013 Texas big man.

Okafor and Jones very serious about playing together.
Arizona, Michigan State, Ohio State, Baylor, Minnesota, Nebraska among their common schools.

They might get Jabari and they might get Tyus Jones. But I'd bet that Alexander and Young will be at UK. You can't listen to everything these player say. How many times have we heard about package deals that don't end up happening.
