James Madison (2025-26):
Winthrop (2024-25):
Spradlin on Jones III: "Paul comes back to his home state after a great freshman season on a really good Winthrop team. Playing as a freshman is very difficult in today's climate, and to do it on a team near the top of the league is very impressive and gives great promise for Paul's future here at JMU. He is a bigger guard who plays with a very good feel for the game and a skillset for scoring at all levels."
