“20. Michael Jones | 6-5 wing | senior | Davidson
Jones is about as pure a floor-spacer as you’ll find in the portal, a sniper from distance who has a track record as strong as a shooter as anyone else available. A redshirt junior with two years of eligibility left, he’ll likely be looking for a new home because Davidson doesn’t have graduate programs at its school. He hit 42 percent from 3 this past season on five attempts per game, with many of those coming off of tough movement opportunities within Davidson’s offense. Overall, he posted 12 points, four rebounds and two assists for an NCAA Tournament team. He’s also not a bad passer and knows how to read the defense. He can attack a closeout occasionally and back-cut for wide-open looks at the rim, but mostly we’re talking about a 3-point gunner here who profiles well for any team looking for an influx of shooting. He’s originally from Minnesota, so it wouldn’t be all that surprising to see him end up in the Big Ten.”
Likely UF, the coach McCray that recruited him at Miss State is there, visited UF late April, HS teammate at UF…no indication of UGA visit.

SJ Mercury News: Dick Barnett whispers loudly
“His squad, the Tennessee A&I State College Tigers (now Tennessee State University), is one of the many Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) across this nation whose sports exploits have been forgotten.
During the 1957-59 three-peat, the Tigers went 99-10 with team captain Barnett winning back-to-back NAIA tournament MVP awards.
“They wouldn’t put us in the NCAA tournament,” recalls Barnett, a native of segregated Gary, Indiana. “We wanted to play Bill Russell (of San Francisco University). They wouldn’t even put us in the Garden for the NIT.”
Besides the two championships with the Knicks and the three in college, Barnett also captured a title with the Pipers and his high school team lost in the Indiana state finals to a team led by one Oscar Robertson. It was the first time in Indiana schoolboy basketball history that two all-Black teams competed for the state championship.
Tennessee A&I’s legacy has been cherished and protected by Barnett for good reason. The Tigers are probably the best team you never heard of.
Seven members of that team were drafted by the NBA with two – Barnett (1959) and Ben Warley (1961) – selected in the first round…”

Dennis Gates is why Dickey Nutt came to MU. The longer answer was that Nutt’s experience mind can offer a perfect perspective to Gates’ new-age staff.
