    4_3652055Andrew Jones enjoyed his official visit to Arizona this past weekend, and now looks forward to several in-home visits this week followed by an official to Texas next weekend.

    “It was a good visit,” the 6-foot-4 combo guard out of Katy (TX) MacArthur told SNY.tv by phone on Sunday evening. “They said how I could come in and take Gabe York’s spot and play the one.”

    Jones, who took the visit with his parents, is being recruited by head coach Sean Miller and associate head coach Joe Pasternak. Miller, of course, is coming off winning a gold medal this summer with the USA U19 team.

    “He’s a winning coach,” Jones said. “He knows how to get the best out of his players.”

    Next up for Jones are several in-home visits this week.

    Baylor and Texas come in on Wednesday, followed by Arizona and Texas A&M on Thursday and Louisville on Friday.

    After that he takes an official to Texas next weekend.

    “I’m going to Texas on the 12th,” he said.

    Jones is working with a list of seven schools: Arizona, SMU, Texas, Baylor, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Louisville.

    He has no timetable on a decision.

    “I’m not for sure right now,” he said. “Whatever happens, happens.”
