All-Dade Guard Jones sign w/ FIU

[The OC Panther]

Hello fellows
THis was in the herald local round-up today. Dont get mad if this is old news...its news to me, I live in New York!

I'm not happy about the lack of height and having another guard but to be 1st team all Dade he has to be pretty d**n good.

GO FIU!

• Gulliver's Antonio Jones, a first-team All-Dade selection, signed with Florida International and new coach Sergio Rouco. Jones, a 5-7 guard, averaged 23.6 points and 4.4 assists last season for the Raiders.

I'm surprised as well. After signing so many guards, to have another point guard...and so small, kind of surprises me. Of course, we plan to press, and run all (most) the time, but I would like to know if there is at least another frontcourt player coming for next year's roster..

We have now at least 6 "confirmed" signees so far. Maybe one or some of them will not come to FIU after all. Here are their names:

Kenny Sims- 6-7 Forward

Alan Guyton 6-1 PG

Cesar Chavez 6-5 Guard

Carlos Taylor 6-1 Guard

Ismael N'Diaye 6-6 Forward

Antonio Jones 5-7 PG


That's 6 signees that are kind of official. Another one rumored to have signed, but not confirmed anywhere, is former SCC player Ivan Almonte a 6-5 Forward.....
