The family is saying Kentucky and the Coach now says Washington. The Seattle Times spoke with Pat Strickland today. The conversation is of course talking about where Terrence Jones will finally go to college.

Jefferson coach Pat Strickland shed light on the second question that has captivated fans on Montlake and in Lexington, Ky.
“I’ve been talking with him the last couple of days — with him and his mom — and he told me he’ll get it done (Wednesday), and in my opinion, I think he’ll choose Washington,” Strickland said Tuesday night. “Kentucky is a great institution, but I just think at the end of the day Terrence will choose a situation where the guys that are coming back on the team are familiar with winning.
“And that’s the unknown factor with Kentucky. Yeah, they’ve got blue-chip players and everything, but it’s still an unknown factor that they’re going to pan out on the college level.”

“I just think it was a tough decision,” Strickland said. “I think it would have been tough for any kid with his talent and with the schools he had on the table.
“I know it doesn’t normally happen this way, but I think with his talent he just wanted to take his time. There really was no timeline, so he wanted to take his time because his whole life and his future is depending on and riding on this crucial decision.”
Jones will sign recruiting papers in private at his Portland home.
No more news conferences, Strickland said.
