Messiah Jones Decommits from Drake
Simeon 2018 power forward Messiah Jones tells PrepHoopsIllinois that he has decommitted from Drake after head coach Niko Medved took a coaching job with Colorado State on Thursday. He told us why he opened things back up.
“Because Coach Niko leaving and my relationship with the coaches. Really played a huge impact.”
What will he be looking for in a new school?
“A coach I can have a good relationship with and a great program.”
Jones is the #10 overall prospect in the state of Illinois and #1 ranked power forward. He is a high energy forward that was a huge part of the Wolverines success this season. Active around the hoop with a quick second jump and shows face up skills offensively.
We expect a lot of mid-major schools to get involved with the Simeon standout. Drake’s other commit Danville’s Kendle Moore is still committed at this time, but they are evaluating the situation.
