I felt pretty confident that Jones was a Stanford commit after I saw her likes of Stanford WBB posts on Twitter.  Her other likes were about other commits to a wide variety of schools and a lot of general great basketball play clips.  However, her likes of Stanford were long interview clips about this year's recruits where they talk about how wonderful their experience has been.  I think when it comes to 17 year olds, their twitter account is the biggest indicator of their thoughts.  I also felt that the delay for fire and smoke emergency showed a lot of character and wasn't at all concerned about the fact that her announcement was to be shown live on ESPN.  I got a little worried when the Monday announcement got pushed to Wednesday, but kept my hopes up that Geno or Oregon hadn't been able to pull off a last minute change of heart.  I didn't post any thoughts or hopes about it because I live in fear of the woofing gods.  So glad she is joining the Stanford family.  

Note:  The video interview of her by the ESPN reporter asked the expected questions about the reasons she chose Stanford but couldn't avoid acting as a shill for UConn.  She asked Jones whether she felt any pressure to join UConn since the last two #1 players had gone there and whether she felt a pull to the Huskies star power.  Jones was gracious but made it clear that her heart was with Stanford.  

Cheers,
Pete F.
