Chris Jones eligibility?

[Barcio39]

With all that happened to Will Barton not getting into memphis because of not graduating on time, could this happen to Chris Jones? I saw this brought up on TOS I was just wondering what you all thought.

I thought Chris Jones was going to be fine because he's at a prep school?

The whole reason for the prep school is to assure his eligibility. Of course he will have to attend class and pass, but in prep school, they usually don't keep players that make no effort in class.

I think the issue is the reason for his delayed graduation. He is 19 years old, as of July I think. Did he get held back in elementary or middle school? If he was held back in high school, then he would fall into the Barton category I would think.

Anyone know?

Chris Jones, of Memphis, TN, will attend Oak Ridge Military Academy in North Carolina after leading Melrose High School (Memphis, TN) to a TSSAA State Basketball title and earning MVP honors. PM Hoops recently got a chance to sit down with the 5'11" PG and discuss a host of topics such as his academic situation @ Oak Ridge. Might be refreshing for vol fans to hear. Below is a link.
