Jones gets notice with display
Sunday, April 27, 2008 Mike Peticca
Plain Dealer Reporter
If Garfield Heights junior Carl "Tay" Jones wasn't already on the radar screen of Ohio State University basketball coach Thad Matta, he may be now.
Matta was in Memorial Hall, the former home of University of Akron basketball, on Saturday. He was among personnel representing nearly 200 college basketball programs. They're scouting prospects at any of 48 area gymnasiums during the third annual Applebee's King (LeBron) James Shooting Stars Classic.
Matta, West Virginia coach Bob Huggins and others were treated to a 31-point effort by Jones, a 5-11 guard. Jones, canning two 3-point shots and displaying a variety of moves to the basket, scored 21 of his points during a seven-minute span of the second half, then scored six more points in overtime as his Ohio Basketball Club edged The Family (Detroit), 59-55, in a 17-and-under game.

Jones, the lone junior among five players named to The Plain Dealer's seven-county 2007-08 all-star team, has fielded scholarship offers from more than 15 Division I programs. Ohio State has not made an offer, and for now, Jones is giving serious consideration to offers from Iowa and St. Joseph (Pa.).

Yeha, well the kid is a Sophomore in HS... adding weight happens when your body matures enough to gain weight. It'll happen, both naturally and through har work in the weight room.

He is a junior about to be a senior...
And yes I know that he will obviously add weight, but the question is how much weight will his frame hold...He doesn't have the ideal frame to hold the weight for college bball at a big time school...
Is that to say he couldn't play here??? Of course not, I am just pointing out that it is a question mark...

When you watch him play, the first thing you notice is his lack of size, but make no mistake.....he has talent.....size is not everything.....especially at point guard......
