Recruiting Update

Verdell Jones III visited Minnesota in Mid November supplementing the visit Tubby Smith made to Champaign back in september. He also made a visit to Lexington, KY back in Mid October to see Midnight Madness and the LSU-UK football game. His grandfather is a pastor at a church in Paris, KY. When asked which schools were still on his list he spouted off "Minnesota, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Marquette, Georgia Tech, New Mexico State, Kansas, Indiana, Illinois and Texas." To me this means that Gonzaga may be out of the picture for the 6-5 guards services. With Grant Gibbs and Demetri Goodson incoming at the guard spots, im not too concerned about landing Verdell Jones. With all that said, it appears the zags have concluded recruiting for the 2008 season with 3 top 150 recruits.
