Four-star Skylar Jones includes Rutgers basketball in her top five
Skylar Jones has Rutgers women’s basketball in her top five as the national recruit released her top schools on Monday night.
According to ESPN.com, Jones is a four-star recruit. Last month, she was offered Memphis, Illinois, Missouri, and Pittsburgh. In August, she received an offer from Rutgers.
Apparently, the Scarlet Knights and new head coach Coquese Washington made an impression.
Jones is one of the top players in the nation, coming off a season for Whitney Young High School (Chicago, IL) where she had 16.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game for a program that went 27-6.
Rutgers is one of two Big Ten programs to make the cutdown from Jones. Mississippi State, Missouri and Syracuse round out her top five.

A 6-foot wing, Jones is a complete prospect. She is able to shoot from distance and has the ability to dribble and penetrate. A good rebounder, she runs the court fluidly and with good vision.

Her length is an asset as well defensively as she can guard the perimeter or down low.
