Tyus Jones (born May 10, 1996) is an American basketball player who is ranked among the top 5 players in the national class of 2014 by Rivals.com, Scout.com and ESPN.[1][2][3] He is a Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) Class 4A state champion, two-time Minnesota Associated Press Boys Basketball Player of the Year and two-time Minnesota Boys Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year. He is playing his senior season for Apple Valley High School during the 2013–14 season. He has given a verbal commitment to the Duke University men's basketball team as a package with Jahlil Okafor and will be a freshman for the 2014–15 team. He has been selected to play in the 2014 McDonald's All-American Boys Game and for the 10-man Team USA at the 2014 Nike Hoop Summit.

High school

Jones earned the role as a varsity starter for Apple Valley as an eighth grader for the 2009–10 season.[4] That year, he averaged 16.8 points per game and 8.1 assists per game, starting every game for a team that went 20–8.[5] That season he received his first recruiting letter (at age 13) from USC.[6]

Freshman season

As a freshman, he received his first scholarship offer from Iowa.[7] That season, he averaged 20.1 points, 7.1 assists and 2.6 steals per game in 16 games, after missing 7 weeks due to a lacerated kidney.[5] Following his freshman season, he was invited to attend separate skills camps hosted by LeBron James and Chris Paul.[6] However, he was also invited by USA Basketball to the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado to be one of 27 athletes try out for the 12-man FIBA Americas Under-16 Championship team, which he eventually was selected to.[8] Team USA won the tournament, led by Jones' 28 assists over 5 games.[9] By the time he attended the July 2011 Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Peach Jam tournament he already had offers from Minnesota and Baylor.[9] In the days after the four-day tournament that was attended by leading coaches such as Thad Matta, Tom Izzo, Jim Boeheim, Roy Williams, John Calipari, Josh Pastner, Bill Self, Sean Miller and Rick Pitino, he received offers from Ohio State, Michigan State, Marquette, Providence, Arizona and Iowa State.[9]

Sophomore season

As a sophomore he was a unanimous selection as the 2012 Minnesota Associated Press Player of the Year for high school boys basketball and was named to the 2012 Associated Press All-state team along with Siyani Chambers, Joey King, Tyler Vaughan and Johnny Woodard.[4] Jones' Apple Valley team was eliminated in the MSHSL Class 4A, Section 3 final by Eastview High School.[4] Jones averaged 28 points and 8 assists in 31 minutes per game. He earned the 2012 Minnesota Boys Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year.[10] He was the 2012 Star Tribune Metro Player of the Year in boys' basketball as well as the Pioneer Press' boys basketball player of the year.[7][11] By the end of his sophomore season, he had an offer from Duke to go along with his earlier offers from Minnesota, Iowa State, Michigan State, Ohio State, Providence, Arizona, Baylor and Marquette.[7] Following the season, Jones again played for Team USA at the 2012 FIBA Under-17 World Championship in Kaunas, Lithuania from June 29 – July 8, 2012. The team went undefeated in 8 games as Jones led the team with 43 assists.[12]

Junior season

Jones entered his 2012–13 junior season as the national class of 2014's top ranked basketball player according to ESPN.[13] Sports Illustrated columnist Frank Burlison listed him second to Jahlil Okafor on August 16, 2012.[14] On September 11, when Okafor was named a monthly blogger for USA Today High School Sports, he noted that he and Jones wanted to attend a Michigan State Spartans football game together.[15] Jones was one of 10 USA Today preseason All-USA selections (along with Aaron Gordon, Andrew Harrison, Aaron Harrison, Kasey Hill, Okafor, Parker, Julius Randle, Noah Vonleh, Andrew Wiggins).[16] At the January 5, 2013, Timberwolves Shootout at the Target Center, Jones led Apple Valley on a 31–9 run to overcome an 11 point deficit with 9 minutes and 19 seconds remaining against Rashad Vaughn and Robbinsdale Cooper High School. The head-to-head matchup of class of 2014 guards Jones and Vaughn was described as "arguably the best individual-to-individual matchup in Minnesota high school basketball history" by the Star Tribune.[17] Two weeks before the matchup of ESPN 100 top 10 high school players, NBA.com had anticipated the matchup with a feature story.[18] Following his junior season, he was co-winner of the Minnesota Associated Press Player of the Year award for high school boys basketball, with DeLaSalle fellow junior Reid Travis.[19] Jones led Apple Valley to the MSHSL Class 4A championship, while Travis led DeLaSalle to the 3a championship.[19] They were joined on the Associated Press All-State team by Anders Broman, Rashad Vaughn and Graham Woodward.[19] Jones earned the 2013 Minnesota Boys Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year and the Pioneer Press player of the year.[20][21] However, Travis was the 2013 Star Tribune Metro Player of the Year in boys' basketball.[22] Following the season, Jones was selected by HighSchoolHardwood.com as one of two juniors (along with Okafor) on its first or second five selections of its 2012-13 High School Hardwood All-American teams. Stanley Johnson was the only other junior on the 20-man All-American First Team.[23]

On March 9 Jones listed his final seven schools: Baylor, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan State, Minnesota and Ohio State.[24] Jones had unofficially visited all seven of these schools before his junior season ended.[21] In late April 2013, Okafor's father believed it was very possible that Okafor and Jones would matriculate together as a package.[25] By late April, there were rumors that Cliff Alexander and Justise Winslow would attend whatever school Jones and Okafor attended.[26]

Senior season

On May 30, Okafor cut his list of schools to eight: Arizona, Baylor, Duke, Illinois, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan State and Ohio State, which overlapped with Jones in six schools.[27][28] Although Alexander was ranked as the fifth best player in the class of 2014 by Rivals.com and had offers from four of the six schools common to both by the beginning of June, he said the chances of him matriculating with Jones and Okafor was slim.[29] As the summer evaluation period continued, the unique nature of the possibility of Okafor and Jones, who are not related and not teammates, going to college as a package continued to get a lot of press.[30][31][32] Jones was co-MVP for the 2013 Under Armour Elite 24 All-star game's winning team.[33] On August 13, Jones announced that he would take official visits to four schools Baylor August 30-September 1; Kentucky September 27–29; Kansas October 18–20; and Duke October 25–27.[34] Notably, Duke, which is the favorite according to Star Tribune writer Amelia Rayno, is scheduled last.[35] On August 14, Jones confirmed that he might make a fifth official visit (the maximum allowed by the NCAA) to Minnesota, although they remained an unlikely underdog.[36] Okafor visited Baylor on August 29 with Jones as the two were ranked 1–2 in the Rivals.com class of 2014 rankings.[37] One of the reasons Baylor was a serious contender is that Jared Nuness, a member of the Baylor basketball staff, is Jones' cousin.[38]

On September 4, 2013, Rivals.com updated their ranking with Jones slipping from 2nd to 5th (behind Emmanuel Mudiay, Johnson and Alexander) and the top point guard position to second (behind Mudiay).[39] Rivals clarified that Okafor and Jones, who are considered a package deal, had visited Baylor together and would visit both Kansas and Duke together, but that they would visit Kentucky separately.[39] On September 13, class of 2014 point guard Tyler Ulis committed to Kentucky.[40][41] Subsequently, Jones canceled his September 27–29 visit to Kentucky.[42] As Okafor and Jones visited Kansas and Duke together during the last two weekends of October, those two schools were considered the favorites for the services of both.[43] At Kansas, head coach Bill Self scheduled an unprecedented second open practice for the weekend of the Okafor/Jones visit.[44][45] ESPN.com's number 14 overall prospect Winslow attended Duke for an official visit the same weekend that Okafor and Jones did.[46] At the beginning of October, rumors began that Jones and Okafor would meet in a nationally televised game on December 12 that could be the first regular season high school basketball game ever broadcast on ESPN from Minnesota.[47] On November 15, ESPN announced the high school basketball broadcast schedule for its family of networks and the rumors were verified.[48] On November 2, Jones reduced his list to Baylor, Kansas and Duke and was still committed to joint matriculation with Okafor.[49]

On November 7 Jones was ranked fifth behind points leader Mudiay, Alexander, Okafor and Stanley Johnson in the Mr. Basketball USA preseason tracker. He had the most points of all players without any first place votes.[50] The preseason points leader has gone on to win the award in four of the prior five years.[51] On November 11, Jones and Okafor tweeted simultaneously that they would make simultaneous verbal commitments on November 15 from their local high schools.[52][53] His verbal commitment announcement was scheduled on the same date as Alexander and Stanley Johnson. According to ESPN, all four were among the top 10 in the national class (Okafor #1, Alexander #3, Jones #4 and Johnson #9). On the eve of their announcement, Duke was the heavy favorite to land Jones and Okafor.[54] He made his verbal commitment on ESPNU to Duke basketball on November 15.[55][56] Prior to his senior season, USA Today named him to its 10-man preseason All-USA team along with Alexander, Stanley Johnson, Trey Lyles, Mudiay, Malik Newman, Okafor, Kelly Oubre, D'Angelo Russell, and Myles Turner.[57] On November 21, Winslow committed to Duke, giving them the number one recruiting class in the nation with Jones, Okafor, Winslow and Grayson Allen all committed.[58]

On December 12, Apple Valley had a 5–0 record (including victories over state powerhouses DeLaSalle—with a sidelined Reid Travis—and Hopkins)[59][60] and national rankings of 41 by USA Today and 16 by MaxPreps, while Whitney Young entered the game 1–1 with a 34 ranking.[61] That day, in front of Mike Krzyzewski and ESPN2's national audience, Okafor's Whitney Young beat Jones' Apple Valley 80–70. Okafor had 22 points and 15 rebounds, while Jones had 29 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.[62][63][64] On January 4 in the Timberwolves Shootout at the Target Center, Jones led Apple Valley over the Kansas defending Class 6A champion Blue Valley High School who was ranked number 18 by USA Today at the time.[65][66]

Awards and honors

Jones was selected to the 10-man Team USA for the 17th annual Nike Hoop Summit on April 12, 2014 at the Moda Center. He was selected along with fellow Duke commits Okafor and Winslow.[67][68] and the 24-player 37th annual April 2, 2014 McDonald's All-American Boys Game at the United Center. He was joined as a McDonald's All-American by fellow Minnesotans Travis and Vaughn as well as fellow Duke commits Okafor, Winslow and Grayson Allen.[69][70]

Rankings and comparison

By the summer after his 2010–11 freshman season, he was described as the best point guard from the state of Minnesota since Khalid El-Amin.[6] Another Minnesotan who is a measuring stick for Jones is Sam Jacobson.[9]
