Messiah Jones Sets 3 Officials
Simeon 2018 forward Messiah Jones is one of the more athletic prospects in the rising senior class. The bouncy four man has informed PrepHoopsIllinois he has set up three official visits in the month of September. The visits are:
September 8 UW Milwaukee
September 15 Northern Illinois
September 21 Drake
Jones broke down what he likes about each program heading into the visits.
UW Milwaukee
“What I like about Milwaukee is their coaching staff. I feel like we could have a great bond on and off the court. I feel like they will treat me like their own son and always look out for me. They always show love.”
Northern Illinois
“That’s my hometown. I know NIU is big about football and I will be attending the Boston College game for an unofficial, but the coaches always check up on me. When AAU was still going they showed up to every single game of mine and I appreciate that and look for things like.”
Drake
“Drake has been there since day one. They show a lot of love for me. Drake has a great coaching staff and is great communicating. They are a good academic school and my mom really loves that. Drake shows a lot of love and I love their determination.”
He says he is still open to other schools beyond these three. Jones is coming off a strong July with Caron Butler on the circuit. He is super bouncy around the hoop and is a monster getting on the offensive glass. Quick around the hoop and is improving his face up game. Extremely competitive kid!
Jones is the #2 power forward in the PrepHoopsIllinois 2018 Rankings.
