It has been a long road for Razorback fans to learn of the final decision of Razorback combo guard, Mason Jones will make concerning his return to the University of Arkansas for his senior season or forgoing his eligibility and returning to school.

The storyline seems to continue to develop with Mason Jones staying in the NBA Draft. Today, the CAA Agency announced the signing of Jones as an agent.

On March 27th, Jones announced he would test the waters of the NBA Draft. As many times it has been pounded in our heads, Jones never received an offer coming out of high school, went the junior college route by playing at Connors State and was committed to the University of Central Arkansas before he was offered by the previous Arkansas staff.
