What the Gators are getting in Tramell Jones
Scouting report: Here’s what people are saying about Jones …
-“Showed off a silky smooth throwing motion and release at the Elite 11 Finals. The 6-foot, 195-pounder has a clean stroke with no moving parts. Jones’ tight throwing motion allows for him to throw with consistently deliver catchable footballs and throw with accuracy. The Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin is a pure pocket passer who is at his best when he can sit back and distribute the ball to surrounding playmakers.” — On3 Director of Scouting Charles Power
-““He’s a point guard. I think that probably gets overused for a lot of people but in our system, he really is. We’re a heavy RPO team. So he has a lot of post-snap choices. And he communicates well with his coaches. He’s easy to talk to. These are all things he does well. And he can spin the ball with anybody.”“There are lots of big-named, big-armed QBs that can’t hit this or that consistently and I think it’s because they don’t understand that the whole premise starts with your feet and moves up. think too many people focus on the arm, and move down and he’s the opposite of that.” — Mandarin coach Toby Bullock
