That's good

What did he say for the non-instagram people like me? Don't see anything on MySpace.

Appears to be coming back for another year

Here? Wow, if this is the case

Appears to be coming back for another year

I’m not sure if that’s another year or game. He just says 1 more in that reel. Glad to have him back for whatever we can get. It does seem the staff is working hard recruiting the current team.

I think he is saying 1 more game, but I like your take more.

People don't realize its hard to convince kids like Fluff and Kelley to play in a meaningless bowl. I'm glad he is playing in it. I can't imagine our secondary without him in it.

[Tater]

It says "1 more... heart emoji" with a bunch of State pics. Not like Fluff's 2026 post. His reads much more like he's playing one more game in Maroon and White and then onto the NFL right after.

[bulldawg28]

He definitely should leave after the bowl game, all of next teams would avoid him like the Ole Miss unless he started following WR's like the NFL

His family made posts/responses on that. Looks to be back for another year.

Good Lord what a keep, if that's true.

[BlackSailsDawg]

247 guy is taking it that way too

[Chuck3124]

Someone may correct me if I?m wrong here, but I believe I read somewhere that someone made mention if bell was retained he was coming back.

[BlackSailsDawg]

Also, he made 3rd team, not first. I don't think his draft stock is as high as he wants it to be.

I hope you are right - Kiper was projecting him to go 17th overall just a few weeks ago.

So you are telling me a MSU player didn't get proper respect from ALL SEC voters? I can't believe it. I simply can't believe it.....

[msudawg1200]

Most important returning piece we needed to keep besides KT

Keeping Jones is huge. KT, Jones, Fluff and I want Whitson back too.

Good grief, what a joke. He really made 3rd team? Just probably the best corner in the nation. What a joke voters are.

[MoreCowbell]

Very surprising if true. He is projected late first round pick by Kiper.

Kelley not in top 50 on Kyle?s board.

That’s means nothing in the draft. Just a bunch of dumbass voter to vote him 3rd team.

[Coach34]

keeping him another year would be incredible and agree- probably the 2nd most important keep after KT. I'd say 3rd would be Whitson getting healthy

[ZedFedder]

His post definitely reads one more game rather than one more season.

agree

[Todd4State]

Some people are saying that Jones's mother is saying that he is coming back on instagram. Which I don't have. Sorry!

[KB21]

If he was going pro, why would he risk it by playing this game?

[Homedawg]

If he was going pro, why would he risk it by playing this game?

good point. but we are going to have to sweat this one out, i'm afraid. If he declares, and that's an if, he's going to kill the combine and go top 40 picks. It's far from certain he returns

[Leroy Jenkins]

I would be so happy to be wrong on this one, but I had fully accepted the fact he wouldn't be here next season. I'm just not used to good news.

[CadaverDawg]

Same. This would be monstrous for us, so I'm fully prepared for him to go Pro or transfer. Ha

[KB21]

I suspect that he?s gotten feedback from scouts that are telling him to return to school.

[Tater]

Some people are saying that Jones's mother is saying that he is coming back on instagram. Which I don't have. Sorry!

I'll believe it on January 17th.

And then really believe it April 27th if his name wasn't called.

[HancockCountyDog]

Scouts are not going to tell him that. Decamerion Richardson was no where near the corner Jones is, and didn't have the type of season that Kelley did.

I hope I'm wrong, but this kid is a first round pick all day.

[BlackSailsDawg]

Sorry, but Kelly lacks in rush defense. He will be a dawg next year

[Homedawg]

Sorry, but Kelly lacks in rush defense. He will be a dawg next year

corners dont get drafted bc of rush defense. it helps, but it's about item number 98 out of 100.

[ZedFedder]

Getting him back would be awesome.
