Basketball: Tennessee Juco Star Signs with SUU
Help is on the way for Southern Utah University's beleaguered men's basketball program.

The Thunderbirds, who are 5-15 heading into tonight's game at IUPUI, recently signed Lucas Jones, a 6-foot-9 sophomore center at Volunteer State Community College in Tennessee.

Jones prepped at Siegel High in Murfreesboro, Tenn., and began his college career at Virginia Military Institute. He was also recruited by Carson-Newman, Central Missouri and Tennessee Tech.

He said he visited Cedar City during the Thanksgiving break and fell in love with the town and its basketball program, now directed by former BYU coach Roger Reid.

"I went to a game and there were probably 5,000 people there," he said.

Jones is averaging 7.1 points and 5.6 rebounds a game for Vol State.
