Let me preface this by saying that I think Jones is gone, but the growth between year 1 and year 2, if he were to somehow build on that by coming back for a 3rd year….geez. Add to that the fact he has been an absolute wall at 1st base and I would think you would have to start projecting him in the top 20 similar to Kurtz from WF.

That’s the only hope I think we have, if it even makes a difference. Project can speak better on that

A lot of people think of NIL for incoming players in the draft to make a difference. This situation is perfect for NIL. If Jones gets taken at pick 116 like his ranking that is signing bonus of around 575-600K. You work up an NIL to counter that and have the talking point you mentioned of telling him if he can improve just a little more and be able to hit .300 plus in SEC play with another season having 20-25HRs then he can jump into the 1st round.

That is why I said his situation will be interesting to follow.

He already passed on money coming out of high school and he will also still have leverage after next season as far as the draft goes.
