The last piece to the puzzle, can Calipari make Terrence Jones fit?
CJ Leslie may have broken John Calipari's streak of getting the players Kentucky wants, but in all reality Leslie may have just been a foreshadowing of tomorrow's decision of Terrence Jones.
Leslie and Jones both play the same position and the inside knowledge recruits tend to have on one another's decisions could have led Leslie to take NC State over the Cats. While the Cats will have plenty of PT to go around, Leslie has been deemed more of a 'me-first' player recently and may have wanted more PT than he than he would receive if he landed at the same school as Jones.
Terrence Jones is a 6'9" lefty from Portland Oregon. He is ranked equally with Leslie but whereas Leslie is associated more with his attitude, Jones is the quiet team oriented player. Many UK fans have been more excited and interested in TJ versus CJ and if Cal can pull off the signature tomorrow it would be an upgrade.
The signing of Jones, would be huge for next season's prospects. Jones would be likely be an immediate starter along with the expected lineup of Brandon Knight, Doron Lamb, Darius Miller, and Enes Kanter.
Jones will make his decision at 3:30 p.m. Friday at Jefferson High in Portland at a joint news conference with Terrence Ross (a UK target and nice-to-have).
