Last season, Jones averaged 16 points a game to help Archbishop Carroll reach the Catholic League semifinals. In August he took home the Under Armour Elite 24’s dunk contest title.

Jones is ranked No. 22 overall in the ESPN 100. He joins Athlete Institute (Can.) shooting guard Jalen Poyser to form UNLV’s two-man class to this point.
