Forever Grateful To Have This Dude As My Son !
Jay Jones is the son of BU coach Joe Jones, but he never wanted to be handed anything because of his dad.
He was motivated to prove himself on a basketball journey that takes him to Penn next fall.
“He wants to blaze his own trail.”

I’ve been doing a ton of thinking,watching and listening to all the footage of what has transpired in the last couple days in Minn. Like many of you out there this example of racism and police brutality has sickened me. I just can’t understand how this keeps happening.

This is an amazing story .
During the Civil War, an enslaved African-American taught himself to read, commandeered a ship, rescued the enslaved crew, then sailed them all to freedom.
Then, he came back, bought his former master’s home and was elected to Congress.
Here’s how.

One of the best recruiting trips I have ever been on. A Ray - Special Dude !
Former @NovaMBB Asst. @BUCoachJones recruited @ARayfor3 to Villanova by shooting hoops at a park in the South Bronx while eating Chinese food with him... and it worked.
@CoachAshHoward: "I wish I could get a recruit just off a box of shrimp fried rice, man..." 😂🥡
