One of the top 2010 big men Terrence Jones verbally committed to Washington several weeks ago, but Kentucky Coach John Calipari was desperate for a big man for his 2010 recruiting class after losing all his big men to graduation or the NBA draft.
So while Jones was still at the press conference ceremony in his high school gym celebrating his decision to attend Washington back on April 30, Callipari spoke with him by hone and convinced him not to sign a LOI, and to reconsider signing with Kentucky.
Well, apparently Calipari made Jones an offer he couldn't refuse, and Wednesday he committed to Kentucky.
However, Terrance Jones did not sign a LOI, and yesterday was the last day LOIs were valid. Apparently he is concerned about the rumors of Calipari leaving to coach in the NBA. Instead, Terrence Jones signed scholarship papers from Kentucky, which allows him to change his mind again at any time.
