Guessing that Jones is on campus. Keep us posted as Curiosity is sky high. Roll out the red carpet for Kelvin. ;)

Really hope this visit is going well. Finishing up 2019 with Jones and Wur would be a nice ending.

Not the kind of class that will win recruiting awards, but the kind of class that will fill up the roster the way we need to.

Don't know how much production we could expect, but at this point he's our last best shot at adding anybody this year who can give us some size, it seems. Hope it goes well.

we've seen a wide variety of production from grad transfers and he's bounced around so much it's hard to know exactly what we might get, but there are some good signs:

6-11, 230 is legit size, from his film he moves pretty well up and down the court. He's shown some ability to score when given shots (.553 shooting last year and 19.7/40 pts. He can rebound 11.1/40 and 5.6 in just 20 per game last year. He can block shots 1.5 last year per game, but he's a foul machine -- 3.9 in 20 minutes or 7.9 per 40.

VA tech and Oregon State are also trying to land him along with a long list of other P5 teams that reached out according to reports

I think he'd definitely be in line for minutes here and could be part of a very good team (with tournament run aspirations)

+1000, has some post moves, seems really aggressive around the rim, we can definitely use him. I hope he sees the huge minutes he would likely get.

Probably means nothing, but Matt D, Mac and Huss just started following K Jones.
