Antwann Jones Jr. was rated the #1 shooting guard in the class of 2018. From Oak Ridge High school in Florida he originally committed to Texas A&M only to change and go to Memphis to play for Penny Hardaway. He was our first recruit for 2018 but the 6'6" SG had higher aspirations. For the Tigers he played in 35 of their 36 games averaging 16.7 minutes. He averaged 4.7 pts. per game, 34% from 3 (15-44) and 84% from the free throw line (38-45). He has entered into the transfer portal and would sit one year and have 3 years of eligibility.
My guess is that he was not happy with his playing time as Memphis was loaded with upper classman guards.
He is probably the best athlete of all the shooting guards that are transferring and would help balance out our classes from 2020 thru 2022.
