Thanks to Gus Malzahn. The current HC at Shiloh was the last QB that Gus coached at Shiloh before going to Springdale. That cannot be a bad thing for AU.



Not exatley correct. Josh Floyd played QB for Gus in the late 90's and set a ton of passing records at Shiloh. Gus's last QB at Shiloh was Rhett Lashlee. He broke all of Floyd's records. Gus left after Lashlee's Jr year. Floyd took over after Chris Wood's coached them a year or two. Lashlee was the QB at Shiloh when they beat Junction City in the 1999 AA semifinals 70-64. Juntion's coach and Gus Malzahn are in fact very good friends. That is the reason that Auburn had a chance with Jones and Turner.

Didnt mean for it to sound like that. Kinda meant the reason they got in the door. I still think they have a chance. Until Jones signs I think 4 schools are in the picture. Auburn, Arkansas, LSU and La Tech. Tech because of proximity to Junction. "50 miles from JC"

Jones loves his head coach though and I really think that his HC will have a lot of sway with him. Thats why I think Auburn still has a good chance at him. If LSU offers though all bets are off.

Thanks again. That is good to know. I also agree that if LSU offer, he is going there.


Can you please explain to me how Jones lives in Louisiana and goes to school in ArKansas?

And if LSU offers I expect Jones to accept. He is a lifelong LSU fan.


I don't know.....Arkansas has been on him for 2 years.. that is a lot of ground to make up for in a week!

Dude lives in Lillie,La,7 miles into La,coming from AR. Goes to Junction City because of certain border-town rules. If we were serious,he'd be a Tiger!

Jones lives in Claiborne parish which a portion of it is in the Junction city attendance zone. It is better cost wise for the Claiborne parish school system to pay the money that covers those kids education at Junction City then to have to bus them to Summerfield. Plus some of those kids (Byron for example) would have to be bussed all the way to Homer if that kid wanted to play football. Its a agreement with both of the states plus Junction and Claiborne parish school boards. Union parish at one time sent their kids to Juntion also but they decided it was more cost effective to bus them sometime back in the 90's.

And yes. if LSU was serious and offered he would have been a Tiger a long time ago.

While there's still a love affair with Gus in Springdale, let's not forget that It's in Arkansas' back yard and that church is full of Arkansas Alums and season ticket holders. My Nephew will be going for his third straight ring next year at Shiloh.
