Perry Jones
Perry James Jones III (born September 24, 1991) is an American professional basketball player for the Al-Ahli Jeddah of the Saudi Basketball League. He played college basketball for Baylor.
Jones was the #7 player in the ESPNU 100, the #9 player in the class of 2010 by Scout.com, and also rated as the #9 player by Rivals.com. In his junior year, Jones, along with future Texas forward Shawn Williams, led Duncanville to the Texas 5A regional championship game where they lost to Cedar Hill High School 60–59. Duncanville finished with a 23–9 record for the season.
In recognition of his outstanding career, Jones was named to the 2010 McDonald's All-American team.
Jones' AAU team was the LBA Seawolves. In July 2009, he helped lead them to the semifinals in the Star Vision Sports Center Stage tournament in Las Vegas.
Jones committed to Baylor on April 17, 2007, and started playing for them in the 2010–11 NCAA season. He was ranked as the #7 overall player on ESPN, #9 by Rivals, and #14 ranked by Scout.com.
Jones had 11 points and eight rebounds in his Baylor debut. He averaged 13.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game during his freshman season at Baylor. Despite the hype around the Baylor basketball program coming into the season, the Bears finished with a record of 18–13 (7–9 Big 12) and failed to make the NCAA Tournament. However, Jones was still named to the All-Big 12 Second Team along with Kansas junior Markieff Morris, Texas freshman Tristan Thompson, Iowa State senior Diante Garrett, and Texas A&M sophomore Khris Middleton.
On March 10, 2011, NCAA investigators ruled Jones ineligible for receiving improper benefits from his AAU coach prior to enrolling at Baylor University (The benefits were reportedly three 15-day loans to Jones' parents totaling less than $1,000, all of which were paid back). Jones was forced to sit out of Baylor's game against Oklahoma in the Big 12 tournament, which the Bears lost by 17 eliminating their chances at an NCAA Tournament berth. Jones was eligible to return to Baylor next season on an athletic scholarship, but would have to sit out the first five games of the 2011–12 season before he could be reinstated by the NCAA and eligible to play.
On April 11, 2011, Perry Jones announced that he would be returning to Baylor for his sophomore season.
