Instead of returning for one more year of eligibility with St. John’s, forward Christian Jones - who faced uncertain minutes with the influx of talent St. John’s will see this season - transferred to the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, a squad that lost most of their team from last season after a pair of coaching changes.
In case you were wondering how Christian Jones is doing with the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels, the Rebs are on a foreign tour in the Bahamas.
UNLV dropped their first game, but Jones came up big.
[Jones] was brought to UNLV as much for his veteran leadership as his skills on the court, but as he showed in the 80-79 loss to the University of Toronto at Sir Kendal Isaacs Gym, Jones is quite capable of leading by example as well.
