Moundville (Ala.) Hale County shooting guard Herb Jones has set his commitment date for Oct. 6, his birthday, according to a report from AL.com's Drew Champlin.

The report also states that Jones' top five consists of the Tide, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Georgia Tech, in no specific order.

Jones will take his final two official visits to Georgia this weekend and Alabama the weekend of Oct. 1 when the football team hosts Kentucky.

Re: 3* SG Herb Jones (Moundville, AL) Announcing on October 6

Most kids come in needing to gain weight. Look at Donta Hall, skinny as a rail ,but great desire and work ethic. He has gained some good weight in the off season and I expect he may start at center. He is a perfect example of a kid who needed to gain weight to compete effectively at the SEC level.

My question is how many do we sign? If we sign Jones, do we have a chance of signing 4 or 5 more kids?

Florida took the commitment of a 2017 PF today. This appears to fill up their recruiting class, which takes them out of Herb's recruitment. Hopefully we get good news on Thursday.

Was listening to a podcast yesterday. Avery was interviewed about the upcoming season. He mentioned Herb as a guy that hasn't gotten much publicity and then compared him to a young Scottie Pippen before he got to college.

I heard Mo Williams on the Finebaum show this week. He said he is still close to the program and talks to a lot of people in T-town and he said from what he has been told Herb is going to be a star.

That was a really good interview with Mo. He said the best backcourt will not be in Lexington but Tuscaloosa. I agree with him.
