Jarius Jones '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Jarius Jones and I just finished my red-shirt freshmen basketball year at Ohio Dominican University in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference.   I am finishing up my sophomore year in the classroom.    I have 3 years of playing eligibility left.  

I have decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal.  I appreciate all that the Ohio Dominican coaching staff has done for me when they brought me into their program.  I will always be grateful for them giving me a chance to do what I love and play D2 basketball after my ACL injury.

My decision to go into the portal was a tough one.  I also know that I want to play in a strong basketball program that is competitive and committed to winning.  My love and desire to be part of a program like that while getting a quality education drove me to my decision to enter the transfer portal.

I am a 6'5", 210 lbs. G/PG with a versatile skill set.  I also currently carry a 2.5 GPA at ODU.  I am committed to raising my GPA and finishing this semester strong with my grades.

I would love to play for and with a program that can best utilize my skillset.  I would love to talk with and workout for you and your coaching staff to see if I would be a good fit for your program.  

Here are my freshmen year stats at a glance:

              11.6    PTS/G

                 5.9    REB/G

                 1.7    A/G

I started 18 of 24 games with a FG% of 36.9%.

As I adjusted to the college game, my play improved in the second half of the season.  I had my career high of 26pts against #10 Hillsdale and had a career best 18 rebounds against Lake Erie.  I also had other good games against quality competition in our conference.
