Dale Jones, juco F

[HawkinGoferLand]

some Twittering about Dale Jones of Tyler Junior College in TX. Iowa and Minnesota showing interest, and he's from Waterloo West HS. 6'8" 220lb F shooting 46% from 3 (99-215). 17.4 ppg and 8.5 rb. One tweet says heading to Iowa...

A three point shooter that can score and rebound? I'll pass.









Yes, I'm kidding!

I've read rumblings about him the last week as well. Was wondering if there was anything to it. I believe Ike plays for the same team.

Dale Jones would be coming in as a junior if he indeed ends up at Iowa.

HS hightlight. Reminded me a little of Jok

Very interesting. That is where Ikenna Okwarabizie is at, so I'm guessing they kept up with the team and are now more interested in Dale Jones?? This is all the video I could find on him, and this is from 2012.

Um yes please.

Hard to tell everything from a 1:30 video, but a big guy that can shoot, rebound, and also looked fairly comfortable handling the ball in transition..

Yes, please.

He will need to make an impact right away, then.

It's hard to tell from the tape, but he appears to dunk better than Woodbury. This is good.

Also saw some Twitter rumblings about this, but dismissed it. Trying hard not to get hopes up.

It makes you wonder who types in the information for some of these websites. His minutes are 11.6 a game overall and he averages 16.9 pts per game. Let him play a full game he averages almost 60 a game, sign me up for that . Thats not even the best stat if his coach let him play the full 40 in conference games he would average 195.8 accourding to this website. Seriously though does look like he would be a good get and would fit in well at Iowa, I hope the tweets are correct. GO HAWKS

Any word why he went juco? Grades?

It sounds like he only had DII offers out of HS. He was 6'6", and now he is 6'8" and a solid 225 lbs, and Minnesota and a couple other Power 6 schools are sniffing around. He has great rebounding numbers to go along with all the 3 pt shots.

I'm 39 years old, 5-10, overweight and can barely touch the rim with awesome shoes. I can dunk better than Woodbury.

Me like. Get him now.

Wow if we add him to what we have coming in this looks like a whole new level of athleticism and play making ability.

This has come a long ways under Fran.

I have a feeling Fran has been slow playing this one for a long time, as I'm sure he found him while following Ike. Fran keeps the recruiting stuff really close to the vest, and I don't think he wants anyone to know about his under the radar guys like Jones.
