The spring signing period for college basketball starts today, and the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville is expected to sign junior-college wingman Mason Jones.
Jones, 6-5, 202 pounds, of Connors State College in Oklahoma orally committed to the Hogs on Saturday over a scholarship offer from the University of Central Arkansas and interest from BYU and Washington.
He’s somewhat a newcomer to basketball after playing only his senior year at Triple A Academy in Dallas and attending Lincoln Prep a year before junior college.
“I’m definitely ready to prove people wrong,” said Jones, who has three years of eligibility left.
