Jones is a great kid. He pouted too much (got down on himself) his freshman year but matured greatly during his soph year. The recruitment is nothing to worry about. He told Calipari he was announcing for UK prior to the press conference and Cal was stunned when Terrence announced for U-dub. Terrence was always sold on UK/Calipari, but ALL of his freinds wanted him to stay home (including Terrence Ross his best friend, high school teammate, and UW commit). He said he just went blank looking at all his friends and family in attendance and picked up the UW cap. He immediately(within minutes) called Cal and said he made a mistake and asked if he was still welcome. Just an 18 year old kid with a big decision and a lot of external forces.
He's a good kid. His question marks are over-blown. Cal did a GREAT job with him when, last year, he yelled at him and called him a selfish mother ****** and sat him down. He responded the way you'd hope.
EDIT: No. He was never a leader for the team. That was MKG, period.
