"Mo-Mo" Jones Commits, and More on the 2009 Hoops Recruiting Class
by Chris Coleman, TechSideline.com

Virginia Tech received a verbal commitment on Wednesday from 2009 point guard Lamont "Mo-Mo" Jones. Jones is currently the starting point guard for Oak Hill Academy, and he is a native of New York City.

Jones originally committed to Louisville, but opened up his recruitment back in February. His new list was filled with Big East schools, but a new school got into the running when he arrived at Oak Hill for this season: Virginia Tech. Seth Greenberg began recruiting Jones shortly after his arrival at Oak Hill, and was able to secure his commitment just a few months later.

Jones is a combo guard who is at Oak Hill to improve his point guard skills. He is a natural scorer who is a decent shooter, but a better driver and slasher. He claims offers from Memphis, Charlotte, Providence, Seton Hall, USC, St. John's and Georgetown.

"Mo-Mo" is enjoying a successful season at Oak Hill thus far. He is averaging 14 points and 5.6 assists per game. He is averaging 24 minutes per game, and he's scored in double figures in six of Oak Hill's eight games.

Jones is expected to contribute right away next season.

"He won't have a large transition as a freshman," Oak Hill head coach Steve Smith said. "Most freshmen have a little bit of a transition, but I think Mo-Mo is a guy who can come in and help them right away."

Last week, the men's basketball program signed four players to letters of intent. Assuming Lamont "Mo-Mo" Jones signs in April, this will be a recruiting class of five players, just one year after Tech signed six freshmen.

At this point, Virginia Tech's scholarship roster next season would look like this.

That looks like a solid roster, but there's just one problem: 15 scholarship players are on that list. NCAA rules permit each team to have just 13 scholarship players for each season. For VT to be within the scholarship limit, two of the names in the table above will have to disappear before the start of next season.

Don't get worried about how the Hokies are going to have enough room for all the players in this class. Let's go back to the 2005 class. Anyone signed in 2005 would be a senior this year (or a r-Jr.), like Terrance Vinson. Since 2005, Greenberg has signed 18 players, five over the limit. Out of those 18 players, six either never made it to Virginia Tech, or they departed before their career was over. They are: Hyman Taylor, Nigel Munson, Tyrone Appleton, Darrion Pellum, Gus Gilchrist and Kendall Durant.

In short, there is always enough room. Never turn away a quality prospect when he wants to be a part of your program. The scholarship number will sort itself out. The Hokies badly need a guard like "Mo-Mo" Jones. Jones can penetrate and score, he can spot up and hit the open jumper, and he is the type of competitor that Seth Greenberg likes.

Fans and alumni of UVA and Virginia Tech are encouraged to show their team colors and participate in this year�s annual rivalry Fan Blood Challenge blood drive Monday November 24 at WDBJ 7 from 1pm to 7pm and Tuesday November 25 at the Roanoke Athletic Club and Botetourt Athletic Club from 12 to 6pm and Bonsack Baptist Church from 2pm to 7pm.
