Breaking news — UNT lands top JC cornerback

[Harry]

James Jones, a former Houston-area standout who spent the last two seasons playing for Kilgore College, said Friday afternoon that he has decided to commit to UNT.

Jones has a weekend visit to Houston set up, but said that he is not sure if he will take the trip after deciding to play for the Mean Green.

Jones said he discussed his options with his family and decided on UNT.

He plans on telling UNTs coaches this weekend.

And this was the kind of day where I was singing, "I sure could use a little good news today." Nice.

Feeling better. I hope the kid plays as good as advertised.

Yes, that is what I am talking about. Mississippi State, Houston, Troy and New Mexico all offered Jones a scholarship.

We won a recruiting battle! I think!

If I'm gonna call out the shortcomings I gotta give kudos for the victories too. Nice get by our coaching staff.

Welcome to the Mean Green Family James! P.S. - Suck it CougarQueen.

Nice! Welcome!

Nice pick up, looks like we have found Warner's replacement.

[GOMG2013]

Jones has some nice highlights. I googled him and it looks like TCU offered him and he was going to commit to them in June. I guess something happened. Nice addition.

nice pick-up for the staff, well done

[NorthTexan95]

I approve of this signing. Awesome!

[KRAM1]

Very nice indeed. Good get at a much needed position. Well done Mac and company.

[PlummMeanGreen]

Yes, that is what I am talking about. Mississippi State, Houston, Troy and New Mexico all offered Jones a scholarship.

Year 3 will be the program-changer for Coach McCarney and staff as many of us have been saying even before Year 2. This is a great start toward a great 3'rd year for all. I hope there will be 3 or 4 more JUCO's that will complement those coming back which will get us jump-started toward getting a multi-season winning streak airborne and that begins with Year 1--our first in CUSA.

Congrats to the Mean Green coaching staff! Keep up the good work and quality of signees that other quality NCAA FBS level schools wanted.

GMG!
