Jayson Jones in the portal

Unfortunately can't blame him. First off, it makes sense to play for the guy who recruited you. Secondly, I can only imagine how enticing it must be for a college student to go to a city/state that is not extremely restrictive regarding masks, jabs, boosters etc... and to have the a community around u that probably won't freak out if you choose to not wear a mask.... Makes life all the more easier for a student-athlete.

If any of that was an issue worthy of transferring he would've been out of here 6 months ago. More likely, he's upset to lose his entire coaching staff, his main recruiter, and all to be half a country away from his home in Alabama.

Or maybe he's just upset he has to wear a mask in Safeway, that's probably the real issue

Those are all possibilities. Regardless, I said that it would be "enticing" for him and more of a contributing - but not main - factor in the decision. Additionally, for a socially active student-athlete, the difference in trying to live a regular college life in Eugene vs. Florida is probably more significant than u would like to give credence to.

I don't know how many times I have had people I know who went to the South to visit and came back talking about how nice it was not to worry about masks, etc. The fact that people here are in denial, or act like one only has to do it at Safeway just mystifies me. It is very much a factor in people deciding to move out of the area. It isn't just the mask-wearing, it's also the nutcases who demand it. I have no idea if it matters to Jayson Jones specifically, but I am positive it is a factor for many people from the South in deciding to come or stay here.

Isn't his postion coach still here? Big Joe?

I would imagine this is the main factor. It doesn’t seem like he’s being retained, so it makes sense that Jones would leave and possibly follow Big Joe.

Deleted the political rants. There are limitless platforms available to vent your cultural/political frustrations, this board ain’t one of ‘em. Stay on topic.

Thanks. And you missed one three post above. There is no reason for that crap.

He should go to Georgia Tech, great education and he probably has a significant number of credits from U of O. If it’s Miami then it’s obvious, but if a kid goes for academic reasons (like Jalen Brown getting an MBA from Northwestern) then I applaud it.

He's headed to Auburn.
