Jones has been living with Powerhouse coach Jermaine Johnson and his family since arriving to Chicago. He has also been working out with Johnson twice a day on his game.

Jones, an under-the-radar 6-8, 250-pound forward from Barbados, has committed to Illinois State. He also considered Oklahoma and Illinois-Chicago.
Although the likes of DePaul and Missouri had started to catch wind of Jones after he played in a handful of high school events in Chicago last month, most of the high-major programs interested in the big-bodied, athletic forward were eying him as a 2012 recruit.
According to one college basketball coach, Jones would have undoubtedly ended up at an elite high-major program if he had played one more year of high school.
