Ranked the No. 67 overall player in the Class of 2018 per 247Sports.com, Jones also considered Kansas, N.C. State and Memphis. He did not take official visits to any of his final four schools. He is the first commit for Oklahoma State in 2018 and the first for new coach Mike Boynton, a Brooklyn native.

Playing with E1T1 United on the Nike EYBL Circuit this summer, Jones averaged 10.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game, in 16 games. In five games at Peach Jam, Jones averaged 11.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game, in 5 games.

With Oklahoma State players, Kendall Smith, Tavarius Shine, and Jeffrey Carroll, all entering their final year with the Cowboys, Jones is expected to have a big role when he goes to Stillwater next fall.

After landing their first commit in Jones, Oklahoma State is still after 2018 four-stars Elijah Weaver and David McCormack, who both have the Cowboys on their final list of schools.
