Fairfield has a new look team after graduating a strong senior class from last season and missing star DeMaceo Bronston with an injury. That has allowed Hamilton transfer Kaiden Jones Kaiden Jones 6'4" | SF Fairfield | 2028 State OH to step in and become a leader on a team that lacks experience right now. Jones plays with incredible energy on both ends of the court, blocking shots, rebounding and hustling for loose balls. Jones knocked down a corner 3-pointer on the first possession of the game, a key swing skill in his development. Add in a couple times where he scored off cuts or sitting in the dunker spot and a left-handed drive and finish and Jones showed some nice flashes on Friday’s nightcap. Still has plenty of time to polish his game and continue improving at various skills offensively and he’s at a perfect place to do so as Fairfield has developed numerous impact college players under Dj Wyrick.

Maybe the most gifted vertical athlete in Ohio’s 2028 class, Jones can fly through the air. At our freshman showcase camp Jones was dunking everything in transition and uses his vertical athleticism at both ends of the court by not only dunking but also blocking shots. Jones got some quality minutes at the varsity level as a freshman with 5.6 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. This is a name I’ll be continuing to follow as we see this class grow and evolve.
