Terrence Jones will sign a National Letter of Intent and financial aid papers Wednesday night, the last day of the spring signing period, according to his mother.
It remains unclear if the 6-foot-9 Jones out of Portland (Ore.) Jefferson will sign with Washington or Kentucky.
“Can’t say yet,” Linda Mashia-Jones wrote by text at about 7:45 p.m.
Jones made a verbal commitment to Washington during a press conference April 30 but never signed with the Huskies.
Speculation arose afterward that he was still considering Kentucky.
Asked if he would sign an NLI or financial aid papers, his mother said, “Both.”
Asked if he had signed already, she said, “No, he’s signing tonight [Wednesday].”
Linda added that Terrence stopped by the Washington campus Tuesday.
“Yesterday [he] rode up with a friend and stopped by UW to say hi,” she said.

This is pathetic. You put a story like this one and then all of catspause wets their pants for the next 2 hours until you get an answer. How am I supposed to check the stock market and get the latest news when you have 2000 KY fans grinding up their commodore 64’s to find out if they have a chance to go over 500 next year???? Those Commodore 64’s should be banned! They are usurping all the internet bandwidth!!!!

wow ….. it must be the Nimrod hour in here . lol . 35and 3 with the SEC championship and an elite 8 is no reason to be silent . With or without this kid Ky will do just fine . If I thought you had any cash I’d bet you a couple grand that Ky. finishes above .500 next year …without Jones . But like most Cal haters you’re broke , boring . and a babboon .

Jones announcing his decision late at night for the eastern media is an indication he’ll fit in nicely with the Pac 12 . If he signs with Washington he’s just another number in the late 1st round in a year or 2 . With Ky. and Cal he’s a lottery pick next year . Romar is a decent coach but he can’t put the big cash in his kids pockets via the NBA . This is the decision TJ is suffering on .
/
fearthephog25 / May 19, 2010
Cal is going to Chicago with LeBron, and Travis Ford is being mentioned as a replacement. In Chicago they reported seeing James house hunting.

/

And Cal is with Dicky V. in Florida raising money for the V Foundation! And by the TJ signed a LOI…
Enjoy the warm weather coach—be sure and check out some great recruits in Florida. We still have room to sign one more in 2010 and you already have the number 1 class for 2011…
Wow! Wow! Wow! GO BIG BLUE!

Sorry, had a phone call. Sorry boys, still have to make it through the summer or next couple of weeks. Cal goung to the NBA will cost you Knight and Jones. Why you think he signed financial aid agreement instead of LOI?
Will we actually see Jones play in Maui? Pehaps with UW? LOL
Not out of the woods yet. I hope you like Travis Ford. Stay tuned…..

stick with your lame rumors phog, they’ve gotten you no where. but the sad thing is that NBA executives would call Cal, who is supposedly just a recruiter, and not Self who is the greatest coach to ever grace a basketball court.

Where will TJ go when cal goes to Chicago? He won’t be able to go to UW, and won’t want to stay at uk. KU is saving a scholarship for next year, but doubt Bill wants him. Kansas is already deep and talented. And how about Knight, would he end up at UCONN? Remember how it turned out for recruits when calimarii left Memphis for uk? We just have to sit back and see how it all works out. You guys don’t even know and the future is uncertain.
/
tsmooth / May 19, 2010
Very good pick-up for UK.
He only signed financial papers, though, leaving things open just in case something happens.
/
HuskiesNYC / May 19, 2010
Poor Washington, losing 2 top 10 players to Calipari! T Jones is a very talented basketball player but he’s also a giant douche. Holding a press conference to committ to one school and then signing with another. Real classy kid
/
tsmooth / May 19, 2010
Yea…UW definitely didn’t put Brandon Roy or Spencer Hawes in the NBA lottery or anything.
Him going to UK or UW isn’t going to matter in where he gets picked. He’s super talented, and would probably get picked straight out of high school.
/
rbcat / May 19, 2010
You were supposed to be deep and talented last year and you see where it got you…Self can not coach. Maybe you could Knight (Bob) to come coach at Kansas when Self leaves for that all girls school in Arizona. Stay tuned to when that story breaks.
You think you know what the future holds for KU basketball—I know—playing second fiddle to UK. LOL 🙂
/
fearthephog25 / May 19, 2010
LOL Do you ever see me proclaiming Self as the best coach ever? Find me a post where I stated that, but he is a good very coach. Does cal have any titles or final fours? 😛 Will he ever have any? Can you say financial agreement?

An important factor to remember is that rankings are an inexact science, and there will be as many flame-outs as there are lottery picks.
Let’s wait ’til every team’s recruiting class gets on campus at least before we start tooting horns.
Good pic-up, and nice recruiting class

fearthephog25 / May 19, 2010

ChicagoUK / May 19, 2010
A great haul for UK in the Spring. It should set UK up for a good year. Fpr Cal to do this with all the NBA rumors swirling is just a miracle.
It is unfortunate what happened between UK and UW in regards to Kanter and Jones. No matter how it is justified, it has to be a painful pill for UW fans to swallow and I hope our fans do not rub it in.
/
tsmooth / May 19, 2010
Orton was a top 10 player. He would have recruited him. Patterson was a top 15 player.Cal would have recruited him, too, and he actually did while at Memphis.
DDM will still not be fully implemented this year. Look for 2011.
An unbeaten season is out of the question; hasn’t happened in over 30 years, and UK had more talent last year than this year.
4-5 losses or more is highly more likely. But, I guess everything is possible, so I digress.
/
blasphemy / May 20, 2010
I’m talking about Memphis, that’s your team right? Last time I checked they have will-the-thrill, joe jackson, and jelan kendrick. I would call that a great recruiting class.
/
pastaboy / May 20, 2010
Tj and Kanter will be better than Patterson and Cousins …..maybe not individual talent wise …but in Cal’s system …which is more important . Cousins is a head case ….which according to my sources Cal was disgusted with from game one on through the season .
/
tsmooth / May 20, 2010
Memphis is the team I help cover. Under the agreement I had with Rivals, I cannot wear any Memphis gear or pledge my support for them in a public manner.
I have to be an unbiased, respectable sportswriter…LOL.
But yes, that is a very good class. Don’t forget about Tarik Black, Hippolyte Tsafack, Chris Crawford(a kid who I can promise is a MAJOR sleeper, and will blow up in college), Antonio Barton, and Charles Carmouche.
Trevor Mbakwe is looking very hard at transferring to Memphis. That’d be a huge pick-up for the Tigers.
/
tsmooth / May 20, 2010
