Simeon All-State PF Messiah Jones will be in on an unofficial visit to BU Friday.

That makes at least 2 recruits visiting Friday- Jones and Illinois transfer Te'Jon Lucas.
Messiah Jones updates his recruiting-
“I’ve been hearing from Furman, Florida Atlantic, McNeese State, Winthrop, Hampton, Bradley, UT-Martin, Missouri State, Indiana State, Portland State, and Towson.”
He has two scholarships on the table since he reopened things back up.
“McNeese State and Wofford.” -
Wow....really like Jones!

Messiah Jones senior year highlights-
Junior year highlights-
From 2015-
He looks a little like a left-handed version of Donte Thomas, though I think he is may be a bit more advanced than Donte was as a high schooler.Comment

Somthing tells me that this is a really good fit for us. I'm hoping the feeling is mutual. Would love to see Messiah in a BU uniform for the next 4 seasons!Originally posted by Da Coach View PostMessiah Jones senior year highlights-

Better Talent
I like the player too. My guess is that Coach Wardle is raising the bar on the talent he is pursuing for the Braves. I think this is why news recently has seemed slow on signings. Messiah Jones may be an example of this.Comment

Messiah Jones...
Messiah Jones looks exactly like the player we need to replace D. Thomas! He looks very skilled, can jump out of the gym, is athletic, can score inside or out,
etc. Go get him coaches!!

I agree with T, I think he is more limited than people think. DT was taller, and I believe played SF in HS if memory serves. I have liked Jones for a bit, but I see him more as a developmental prospect. He has great athleticism, but needs to develop more skills. On Simeon he filled the inside role, but they had other D1 talent on the floor.Comment

Skills We Can Use
I really like his athleticism around the basket. I think we have all wished for even better athletes than those that have recently left. As Bradley becomes more attractive with 20 wins and ascending to even more, we need that athleticism to keep ascending. Losing Donte hurts, but I'm hoping his strength on the inside would fill that need. We need shooters too, but the number of 3s that Nate and Darrell have made, show that we have a great start on that.Comment

Agree that he will be a project but still a good fit for the Valley in a year or two.Originally posted by egib52 View PostCheering with pep and vim for the white and purple!Comment

and we now know of one more, Chudier Bile...Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
I like the idea of competition here - hosting three recruits but knowing we really only have two scholarships available...
SO I anticipate the likelihood someone may commit this weekend.Comment

Will The 'Messiah' Resurrect BU MBB?
Will he be the second coming of Hershey Hawkins?
Will he walk on hardwood?
Can he turn bricks into baskets for BU?
Will he make blind men (referees) see (better officiating for BU)?
Will he lead our BU MBB disciples, to the NCAA Promised Land?
Can he raise the BU MBB team up from the Valley dead?
Does he trash talk in tongues?
All things are possible if you believe in the Messiah (and he signs with BU)
BUilding for the Future
