Kameron Jones Commits

[Uncle Rico]

247 didn't have a page for him until today.  Verbal commits had him as a 2* although IDK when that was last updated.  The hope is that he is the next RJ Davis type where he shoots up the rankings his Senior year.

Verbal Commits is often lagging when it comes to updating rankings

[Billy Hoyle]

the kid grew and inch in the time the writer was composing the article.  How tall is he going to be when he arrives in Milwaukee??

Welcome Kameron!!!!     Awesome.    You seem like a great kid.       



As to guards.... big guards are essential in the Big East.    It is a league of 6'4 guards.      Get bigger, get stronger.    And when a team has a roster of 6'4 combo guards, it means that no one has to be hidden on defense.    It means you can zone with long, quick players up top.   It means that a 3 guard set can be run out there with no harm to defense or rebounding.     

I posted something similar a couple years ago, that Wojo had to make recruiting big guards a priority.  He figured it out.   No small ones since.

Though, former major target RJ Davis is listed by UNC at 5'11".

Love it, welcome aboard Mr. Jones!

In 10 minutes of highlight video watching I see good size, some advance level passing, good ball control and some decent body control around the rim. Thing I liked the most is he shows the ability to change speeds on a defender to leave em flat footed. A lot of high school guards just know how to go fast, he shows some promise of good basketball IQ.

On the other hand, that shot ain't got no alibi. It's ugly. Don't see any way that will be effective against high major defenders. Will probably need his shooting form broken down and rebuilt from the ground up.

If the ball goes in, it does not matter.  Like that he is lefty, always felt since I was a lefty shooter, I had an edge on not getting the shot blocked.  Looks very young,
which might mean he is still growing and I am sure Todd Smith will get him stronger.  Maturity comes with age, and he will not be playing for 2 years at MU, or maybe
even 3 years since Carton might have to stay 2 years due to the pandemic.  Time will tell.

[Galway Eagle]

 Nice hope he gets another chance to showcase skills his senior year

Good thing you're not on the recruiting trail with Killings. Yikes!

[Marqus Howard]

Just watched the commit video! Never seen a shot release motion quite like that one. Anyone got a comparison?

Closest I can think of is Shawn Marion

[tower912]

For some reason, I am flashing on Nick Van Exel early in his career.    I won't swear to that.

[Herman Cain]

Welcome aboard Kameron. Looking forward to great things.

Kudos to the coaching staff for identifying an outstanding prospect .

11 minute highlight video if it hasn't been posted. I think he shows a good amount of promise. Shot will probably need to be reworked a bit unless he keeps growing. Squares himself to the hoop really well off the dribble and on the move off the ball.

I'm confused.  Carton would have to stay 2 years to even be on the roster for Kameron's freshman year which would allow for Kaneron to play for three years, not sit for three.

And let's not forget about Symir.  The kid was was playing what should have been his HS senior year as a freshman at MU last year, so he's got upside.

The commitment is nice, but I'll feel better when we get a crystal ball prediction.

[GooooMarquette]

Welcome to Marquette, Kameron!

[Warrior of Law]

A few years ago I would have declared his shot a disaster beyond reclamation. Ultimately, does the shot have sufficient arc, and can he move it out to 23' ? I think yes to both.  Let's hope he's a steal.

Who will be the first Kameron Krazy?

[We R Final Four]

oh boy.

[VegasWarrior77]

Who will be the first Kameron Krazy?

Wojo!

WELCOME KAMERON!!!

[dgies9156]

And a Tennessean shall lead them.

Cordova is outside Memphis. Real question is how Memphis State missed him.

[mileskishnish72]

That shot makes him look like the second coming of Jajuan. 3-star on Rivals.

Welcome and good luck, Kam.

[WarriorFan]

The shot needs lots of work.  I predict a redshirt.

[BCHoopster]

You are probably right, it really depends on if Carton leaves and even Elliott who will be a grad transfer, with Perez on board, it will depend who is better.  Lots of
options at guards right now.  Even Akanno but unless he recruits some bigs he might go with a 3 guard line-up,  but all pretty interchangable  at the 2 and small forward.
Kam really looks young, but he will look different in 2 years.  As much as I like Hunter, they need 2 bigs.

[NCMUFan]

Tall and lanky.  Kind of reminds me of Greg Elliott.

[BallBoy]

The shot needs lots of work.  I predict a redshirt.

I agree.  I was thinking the same thing.  There appears to be a redshirt path that Wojo is taking at the guard.  Sacar, dexter
