“That’s the reason I came back. I wouldn’t have came back if I didn’t have full confidence that we have the talent and we have everything we need to get that done,” Jones said. “For me coming back, it was almost purely a basketball decision. I’ve done my schoolwork and all that. I’ve still got a little bit of work to do, but it was all basketball.
The Cardinal played three games while away and were able to have extra practices ahead of time — focused on the games and experience while traveling.With Jones opting to return for a fifth season, much of what Stanford does will revolve around him both as an on-court leader who has taken his defense to another level but also a steady presence with the young players.
