Demetrius Jones Could Be Special

There must of been some serious miscommunication  between ND and DD for him to be tossed aside so quickly.  Sounds like to me they both could've saved themselves from this ending and DD could be prospering somewhere else.

Glad to have him for sure but this guy is as green as a Northeastern tomato in June.  First and formost a QB has to be an outstanding decision maker, all the other attributes are gravy.

From Bill Koch at the Cincy Enquirer.  Pay special attention to the last paragraph from a separate article... pretty funny, but I don't think Jones will be ready to start this season.  Sounds like that shoulder surgery took a lot out of him:

'Here’s Mauk’s assessment of the five quarterbacks in spring practice:

“They’re progressing. I think Demetrius (Jones) has a long way to go, but he’s at the right place. I think Chazz (Anderson) has a lot more confidence now. One of the guys I really like is Zach Collaros. He’s real athletic. He kind of plays how I like to play. He could be the man down the road for a long time.

“Tony Pike has come a long way. He changed his grip on the football and he looks real good. And of course you have Dustin Grutza with his experience. He can come in and win a game. All these guys have the tools to do it.”'

"Reporters from Chicago Tribune and ESPN.com were at practice today to do stories on Notre Dame transfer Demetrius Jones. They were both taken aback when Brian Kelly said that Jones had progressed from stinking to merely lousy."
