Some players are all about their present ability and performance. Then, there are players that bring that “what if” factor to the table - JaCoby Jones is a “what if” player if there ever was one. And, of course that’s both a negative and very positive thing. Jones, who was named a PG/Aflac All-American in 2009, entered the spring of 2012 for LSU as one of the most highly touted sophomores in the country, and to make a long story short it just never came together for him. He left scouts scratching their heads and wondering when this supremely talented player would eventually translate into live game action.
