I am not thrilled about bringing in a guy with a known history of recruiting violations, whether AG is buds with him or not.

The violations were for both Football and MBB at UCF that ended with the AD leaving and a football coach resigning. Even with the violations, the new AD at UCF gave Jones a 5 year extension the following year. I believe that is more telling than the actually violation. If he was involved more, he definitely would not have got the extension and probably would have been fired since the school would be able to void the contract and not have to pay a buyout for NCAA violations.
