Taj Jones can ball. The 6-3, 198-pound Pope John (Sparta, N.J.) senior receiver had a huge off-season circuit, standing out at multiple camps including The Opening N.J. Regional and the Roman's Soldiers Showcase. But, for whatever reason, his list of options hasn't improved much. Maryland, UConn, Pitt and Boston College are programs that have flirted with offering but still have yet to pull the trigger. And a lot of that has to do with Jones not being able to get out in front of coaches often.
"I couldn't really visit anywhere because I had a lot of 7-on-7s packed in June and July," Jones recently told NJ Advance Media.
