Perry Jones returning to Baylor for sophomore season

25 pound difference.

What do you think Jones' role will be in the NBA?

Right now, warming the bench. In four or five years, probably a key contributor.

He was absolutely dominated by the Morris twins and Tristan Thompson this season. And just remember, OU, this years no rebounding OU team, outrebounded Jones and Baylor in two of the three matchups.

they used to never say Baylor underachieved... You have to win and raise expectations in order to underachieve. Baylor is like most NCAA programs outside the top 15 programs. They are striving for consistency. Some years they have the pieces and some years they don't.

Next year will have a lot more in common with their 2009-2010 elite 8 team. They will be much better without Dunn but more importantly with the additions of Quincy Miller and Pierre Jackson.

Pierre will be a huge upgrade for them at PG. And Baylor will have the best "finisher" frontcourt in college basketball with Quincy Miller; Perry Jones; Quincy Acy; Anthony Jones; Cory Jefferson and Deuce Bello.

Disagree. No offense, but most programs outside the Top 15 programs have made more than 6 NCAA Tournaments in their history. Baylor can't say the same.
 
How do you figure what I would figure?

stoops- Baylor isn't a top 50 program historically. But I'm not really that concerned about what happened 15 years ago or 50 years ago. I'm talking present day realities.

Baylor is on the verge of being a top 25 program but they have certainly lacked the consistency. OU, OSU, A&M, Missouri, Kansas State are in the same boat. A&M is the most consistent of those programs in the last 8 years.

Texas and Kansas are the only top 25 programs in the big 12 right now. My point is that the standard on Baylor of inconsistency is really the story of all programs that are on the verge of the top 25 but haven't quite got over the hump.
 
Perry better be prepared to work his ass off this off-season if he's coming back. Another 13 and 8 type season, or whatever he averaged this year, and he'll be late 1st round to early 2nd next year.


Coming back is really only a good idea if you're going to do everything in your power to become a better player, a la Blake Griffin.
