Purdue fans received a nice surprise today when late rising MLB prospect Cornell Jones flipped from FIU to Purdue on signing day. The 6’2, 220 pound MLB from Florida powerhouse Miami Central has been picking up momentum in the last month, drawing late offers from Colorado, Temple, and UConn. He’s either unrated or a 2* prospect by most scouting services, but 247 sees him as a 3* recruit.
Jones is a big dude that doesn’t just hit people, he hurts people. Honestly, I feel bad for some of the high school kids in his tape, because my ribs hurt just watching his film.
