I haven't seen the same explosion to the hoop from Jones as with White. Would love to see it. That, IMHO, is what made White special from a purely physical skills perspective. I'm hoping Dale can shoot better than Aaron. IF he has Aaron's length, that would be great.Originally posted by FootballChamp1:
This is a quote from Dale Jones:
Dale Jones on Aaron White Comp: I feel like I can come in and do the same things. I think we're very similar size and skilled the same way.
If he can rebound like Whitey did and shoot the 3 that would be awesome.Originally posted by FootballChamp1:

Yes if you mean the 2015-16, and 2016-17 seasons. He has 2 years to play 2 since he's already redshirted.Originally posted by OnceAhawk:
so his eligibility is up in 2017, correct?
yep; thanksOriginally posted by seer_hawk:

Here's a link to a short vid of Jones at Tyler JC. Shows him shooting a couple of 3s and a nice jump hook move. He does look bigger than in the HS vids.Originally posted by StormHawk42:
I don't anyone will or should expect him to fully replace one of the top 5 players to ever wear an Iowa uniform. But if he can provide say 8 points and 6 boards, he can at least contribute a chunk to replacing White/Gabe's value. I like that he's a senior age-wise (with two years to play obviously). Should be plenty mature and understand what it takes.
It really sucks there's basically no video of him. Pretty much have to go on stats and old high school video.

Adding all those little clips together, I liked what I saw. He made contested 3's and I like how he wasn't intimidated by the road fans.

I agree Ronman. Which is why although Jones is likely to have the most immediate impact of the incoming players, softening the loss of White and GO, Uhl may start and be the most 'improved' returning player. DU has seen those big crowds and is due for making a big jump in his game.Nice crowd in that video. The Big Ten arenas ought to be pretty eye-opening to Mr. Jones.
