[HOGINTENNESSEE]

[TX HOG]

Yes. This is great news. I bet he'll be a good recruiter for us while commited

[RockyMtnHog]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO PIG SOOOOOOOOOOIE!!!!

[Flrazrback]

Welcome to Fayetteville John.. Excited to have you aboard. The Legacy Continues !! WPS

[Tortfeasor]

Scholarship?

[ricepig]

Scholarship?

Yes

[redeye]

Read where he also has the 2nd most passing yards in Texas and the best pass/int ratio.

edit: I said that wrong.  He has the best pass/int ratio among the leaders of the most passing yard stat.  Grant Gunnell had the most yards and JSJ was right behind him.

[jcharkansas]

I see he is listed as a Pro style, I was thinking he was sort of a duel threat guy. Anyone know his 40 time off hand?

[Granny fan]

Great news!  Thankful he chose Arkansas!

[flagstaffhog]

Go HOGS Go and Sooooooie Pig!

[hoggusamoungus]

Per RD

Jones, 5-10 1/2, 185, 4.6 seconds in the 40 yard dash

Good Improv qb from what little film I've seen.

[bphi11ips]

Would be excited about JSJ if his name was John Miller.  He's a player.

[Atlhogfan1]

Some qbs have "it".  He had "it" in HS.  Hope it carries over.  Good depth at qb for Morris to start with

[Smashmouth2004]

He played against top notch Texas teams and won back to back state titles. He's a winner!

[raz1965]

Forgive me for asking, but is there a rule against a player buying lunch an helping out his teammates when needed? I mean I know this guy will not be hurting for spending change. Just a thought that came to mind, of course I don't want rules violated.

He'll get by on the same stipend as the other guys.

[UAGolfer1981]

Great news!  This kid is a winner.  I was very impressed watching him in the Texas HS playoffs.

[razCzar]

While expected, I've been a little apprehensive.  Mind is put at ease.
Fantastic news!

[texasdvm]

This is a wonderful player whom makes everyone around him better. Just quality through and through and it is so wonderful that the Jones family has been part of our program.

[aloha_kid]

Yes

So the guy that has all the money in the world needs to burn a scholarship someone who doesn't have money could use? 

[TheRazorback500]

Welcome, Mr. Jones. WPS

[plumbhog]

It would be like a slap in the face to not offer him a scholarship. Forget his name and give him the same opportunity and set of rules to live by that everyone else gets.

[Wildhog]

Good to have as a future booster, if nothing else.

[thebignasty]

lol, contradictory as darn

[Cowtown Hog]

I think I read that bob stoops boys are walk-ons for 2018 class, not because they were undeserving of scholarship status but because he wanted scholarships to be given to lesser economically advantaged players.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

I think I read that bob stoops boys are walk-ons for 2018 class, not because they were undeserving of scholarship status but because he wanted scholarships to be given to lesser economically advantaged players.

Well, they received zero P5 offers. So I think it's safe to say they weren't deserving of OU scholarships

[oldhawg]

Those "lesser economically advantaged" players that you refer to would have also received scholarship offers from other schools as prestigious as Oklahoma.  Don't kid yourself into thinking that Stoops was holding back scholarships to do kids a favor.  That extra scholarship or two would have gone to players who may otherwise have ended up at Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma State, or some other school in need of their talents.   

[plumbhog]

lol, contradictory as darn

So you don't think he's earned a scholarship offer just like everyone else did?

[ricepig]

So the guy that has all the money in the world needs to burn a scholarship someone who doesn't have money could use? 

It isn't about money, it's about having earned it, he did.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

What took him so long to commit?

[ricepig]

I think I read that bob stoops boys are walk-ons for 2018 class, not because they were undeserving of scholarship status but because he wanted scholarships to be given to lesser economically advantaged players.

Stoops son's are walkons because they don't have scholarship offers.

[Cowtown Hog]

I don't know what Stoops sons were offered (or not), but the story i saw just mentioned that he wouldn't allow them to be considered for scholarships because they didn't need the free education.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

I don't know what Stoops sons were offered (or not), but the story i saw just mentioned that he wouldn't allow them to be considered for scholarships because they didn't need the free education.

When did Jones get the scholarship offer?  Like this week or weeks ago?

[HogNTX]

Imagine 4-5 years from now if JSJ is moderately successful here and invited to the combine as a projected 7th round pick... who doesn't think that Blank or Snyder take him just to get at Jerry.

[WOOPIGDOOIE]

When did Jones get the scholarship offer?  Like this week or weeks ago?

Like 3 days after CCM was hired

[Hog N Bama]

WPS! So glad he is a HOG!! Welcome John

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Like 3 days after CCM was hired

I was thinking it was a while back, which I'm surprised he's taken so long to commit.

[Pig in the Pokey]

I don't know what Stoops sons were offered (or not), but the story i saw just mentioned that he wouldn't allow them to be considered for scholarships because they didn't need the free education.

and i saw where oregon state coach resigned and refused the millions in buyout money. Guess Bert shoulda left that 12 million behind, too, by your logic.

[colbs]

He earned it though so he deserves it.

what an idiot.

Easy to say when nobody is offering one

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

 I'm just glad to see another QB Jones on the hill wearing #9..!

[Hogtimes]

Well, they received zero P5 offers. So I think it's safe to say they weren't deserving of OU scholarships

One received an offer from Iowa.   Not sure but maybe Northwestern also.  Plus they did receive offers  from Air Force and  some other pretty nice G5 schools.  However,they are likely too small to ever play much at any P5 school

[Hogtimes]

Easy to say when nobody is offering one

See my above post....they had several  offers to go free.

[King Kong]

See my above post....they had several  offers to go free.

I meant P5 offers since they committed to a P5 school.

I'll concede Drake having an Iowa offer
