He's not as large as Andre the Giant, but he's a heck of a lot better basketball player. From what I observed last night, he'll need to work some on his perimeter shooting, and probably his defense at the D1 level, but other than that, he has all the tools. Great athleticism, quickness, and ability to score. Plus, he seems like a young man the fans will appreciate. And he's an unselfish player. Can't wait to get him in a Trojan uniform.

A pig fan on Hogville critiqued the game and his observations were basically identical to yours. Described Macon as a ball hog (no pun intended) and was more impressed with Andre despite the fact that he scored half as money points. Macon might fit gutterball on the hill, but wouldn't fit here if Wes continues running Beard's system as he said he would. Jones sounds like he will fit like a glove.
Just talked with a friend who's dad played football for the Razorbacks. He went to the game last night and texted his son multiple times. Said Andre Jones was the most impressive player on the Arkansas team. Made the same comments about Macon being a ball hog. Nice scouting report, Dr. J.
I do the best I can with limited talent.
