Just saw this article on twitter. This is from the Seattle Times:
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK][QUOTE] The Jefferson High athletic director organized the news conference Friday that drew a handful of media and a small crowd to the northeast Portland school’s gymnasium where Jones and former teammate Terrence Ross picked the Huskies among several college choices.
“Terrence is going to the University of Washington because that’s what I heard him verbally say,” Whitehurst said. “He said he wanted to go with his boy Terrence Ross and Terrence Ross is at Washington so I’m assuming that he’s going to do exactly what he said. Follow his boy and follow his decision.”
After the announcement, Jones’ family members said he spoke with Kentucky coach John Calipari, which appears to have cast some doubt in his decision.
Whitehurst learned Friday evening Jones never signed a binding national letter of intent with UW and discovered through reports the two-time Oregon 5A Player of the Year is possibly having second thoughts.
Whitehurst, who has known Jones for several years, said he’s surprised, but not shocked the Jefferson star may be wavering.
“He’s a young kid and kids make decisions that sometimes you wouldn’t believe,” Whitehurst said. “This is a major decision that an adult would sometimes be wavering on. This is like a career choice. So when adults make career choices, sometimes they second guess themselves.
“This is his first major decision in his life so I definitely can understand why he might be wavering when an adult might say you disappointed me. I can understand him wavering, but I still see him going to Washington.”
