I like kids with prime-time quicks, handles, and what I would call overall bounce.  What's with the pessimism??  The young man appears to check these boxes and will only add to his current arsenal.

I think the difference between Mr. Jones and the previous 5'10 PG stories at MU is that he is known as a defensive plus whereas the the ones under Wojo were known for their offensive prowess. That doesn't make him better or worse (though I seriously doubt he'll be as good as Howard or Rowdy), just different.

I think the era of recruiting just combo guards is over as well (excluding The Engine). Now, let's get a shooting guard and a big.

Looks like a talented, exciting PG. Thrilled to have him at our alma mater.

Congrats, Shaka ... and welcome, Sean!

Welcome to the MU family MR Jones

Time to get some user rights to the "Counting Crows" for the inevitable "Mr. Jones & me" montage on the Fiserv BIG Screen :)

Pass first and defensive-oriented PG. Game looks similar to Posh Alexander's. I'll take it
Or Derrick Wilson's.

Peach Jam highlights from a few weeks ago. He's very quick and good handles. As an added bonus, he destroys a guy in a man bun at the 10 second mark of this video.
definitely looks good. Bonus points for destroying man-bun-boy twice.

yeah, we wouldn't want him to be like this dude:  https://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/aaron_hutchins

Do you not think he would have been better had he been taller?

Do you not think the game has changed in the past 25 years, where size is even more important?

I'll stick with my opinion on Gold.  He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

I immediately thought Derrick Wilson watching his game. Thought the shot looked good so hopefully it's TBT Derrick.

I assume we only recruited him because his initials were SJ and somebody got confused.

(Yes, teal)

Welcome Sean.

The way Shaka is building the roster, defensively I think you can get away with a guy like Jones. Strong enough to hold his own through screens, and with the rest of roster skewing switchable there should be enough help if needed.

If he can get that outside shot cooking it could be a lot of fun.

Welcome aboard Mr. Jones. We have been looking for a PG Prospect like you for a long time. Also you have your own official theme song to be played during pregame warm ups.

The young man certainly doesn't skip leg day.

Haha. I thought the same thing watching the highlight reel. Also looks like he has a high motor and great quickness. Hopefully, that translates to some fast break buckets when he gets here.

Welcome 2 Warrior Nation Mr Jones!

Great news!  Also glad we got him over conference rival with a local recruiting advantage.  👏

So glad to land such a quality PG! Congrats to Shaka!

Wait, he isn't going to be as good as Howard???? Why'd we even bother?  ;D

mileskishnish72

After watching the highlight films, it looks like he'd be a hard guy to stay in front of defensively.
Here's to a great MU career, Sean!

During 4 years at Marquette, how many times did Derrick Wilson break down an opponent off the dribble?

Zero times that I remember, but maybe I forgot one or two.

I am really looking forward to seeing an in-your-face point guard next season. My guess is that Muggsy is especially happy that Sean is 5'10" . Hopefully the "what the Hell! - Shaka can't get any '22 recruits" buzz will stop.
