NCAA questions Mississippi State's Chris Jones on Ole Miss recruitment
August 11, 2013 10:26 pm ET

The NCAA has interviewed Mississippi State freshman Chris Jones concerning Ole Miss' recruitment of the five-star defensive end, a source with direct knowledge of the process told CBSSports.com.
The specific nature of the interview is unknown. Ole Miss and Mississippi State are the only campuses Jones visited during the recruiting process, according to several national recruiting sites.
Mississippi State directed Jones to Starkville-based attorney John F. Perry for consultation on the matter. CBSSports.com left phone messages for Perry on Sunday. The NCAA recently requested to speak with Jones through Mississippi State, but MSU did not participate in the interview, according to the source.
Ole Miss declined to comment Sunday.
NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osburn said in an email, “based on member-created rules designed to protect the integrity of the process, we cannot comment on current, pending or potential cases.”
Mississippi State expects Jones' eligibility to remain intact as long as it is determined he cooperated with the NCAA. Bylaw 10.1, which outlines what the NCAA considers unethical conduct by prospective or enrolled student-athletes, includes “refusal to furnish information relevant to an investigation of a possible violation of an NCAA regulation when requested to do so by the NCAA or the individual's institution.”
CBSSports.com has left a message for a Mississippi State spokesman.
Jones, a 6-foot-5 All American out of Houston, Miss., took an official visit to Ole Miss on Jan. 25 and a pair of unofficial visits Feb. 1 and 3, according to 247Sports.com.
Leading up to National Signing Day on Feb. 6, Jones told ESPN.com he received threats from overzealous Mississippi State and Ole Miss fans.
"I received death threats, insane messages, you name it,” Jones told ESPN.com. “I mean it has not been as stressful as people would think it has been. I have tried to handle it in the most comfortable way possible, so it has really been alright for me, and in the end, I am very blessed to have this opportunity to play for either in-state school.”
Florida, Auburn and Alabama also were involved in Jones' recruitment, according to reports.
Jones' mother, Mary Woodhouse, said she did not know about an NCAA interview and she never noticed anything suspicious regarding Ole Miss' recruitment of Jones.
She called the family's visit to Oxford “very nice. They were nice to us,” and discussed Ole Miss' commitment to academics.
Ole Miss produced what was widely considered a top-10 national recruiting class, led by defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche, wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil.

[Will James]

Mullen's plan all along?

[RC3]

Someone, somewhere is certainly turning up some shit. Sounds like the ncaa has been around for a while now. My prediction of the rebel spin: msu is really being investigated, not them and it will be msu going on probation

[K9 Avenger]

The beginning of the end for Bucky the Pimp.

[bulldawg28]

Chris Jones recruitment will do them end. I could tell you some things about this.

[CadaverDawg]

This could get real REAL interesting. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that OM knew they were going to get in trouble for different recruiting violations due to these recent investigations, so they admit to giving something to Chris or his family to try and at least make him ineligible if they are going to go down.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but this smells funny to me

[engie]

Fires are a burning all around that little 'crootin class...

And didn't The Croom Diaries say this was coming JUST a bit earlier today? This site doesn't do anything but make up bullshit about Ole Miss**

Listen to this guy...

[Goat Holder]

That would be our luck. OUR guy is declared ineligible for something Ole Miss did.

[EAVdog]

Dr Adams the then President at UGA was livid about the recruitment of Laremy Tunsil. He made public mention of it more than once. He retired from UGA and now works for the NCAA. He's bat shit crazy and ran UGA like his own personal fiefdom. I would not be a bit surprised if he's doesn't have a huge hard on for Hugh Freeze right now.

[NorCalDawg]

I'm with you Cadaver, I don't trust those bastards.

[notsofarawaydawg]

I bet you can't get in a church in Oxford right now. Hugh and his angels are praying that this will go away but when you make a deal with the debil himself it's gonna bite you in the ass sooner or later and sooner has arrived.

I'll be monitoring the Rivals board for immediate reactions from the Rebel Bears...there is already a thread on there about it.

To go with your paradox, keep Chris eligible. UM will go down for more than the icing on the cake, if it indeed happens.

Rebels going to Disney, will take the long way through Jacksonville & Daytona. Because, Lake City, FL is the true source of the misery that could become of them. Seeing that sign on I-75 may cause plantation-cardiac-failure...

I'd like to see him play. And we all know the Cam route works so he can just play dumb. However anyone working the back channels needs to be burning the lines up to the NCAA dishing as much dirt as possible on Freezus. What we do know is that the NCAA is setting their sites on OM. Jeremy Fowler and even KV admit there is a broader scope at work here. Chris Jones part is most likely done. Note we sent him with a

Man, this has been a rough weekend for Ole Miss.

First CJ rumors.

Second, Kalio rumors.

And now....Chris Jones is interviewing with the NCAA about Ole Miss recruiting.

I'm not surprised at all that Ole Miss is being investigated. I am surprised that it is happening this quickly. At this rate, they may get slammed by the Auburn game.

[EAVdog]

http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/college-recruiting/2013/feb/21/how-ole-miss-turned-recruiting-world-upside-down/

Curious that the first comment claims Tunsil's girlfriend got an academic scholly at Ole Miss. I'm sure that's on the up and up. Another post a few down claims his Girlfriend and Bro both got scholly's. I'm sure that's all BS or above board and can all be easily proven untrue.

[AlSwearengen]

someone mentioned to keep an eye out for the ncaa talking to elijah daniel. This could be interesting considering that we kept having good interaction with daniel and at one time thought we were his leader. Of course, that changed and he committed to olemiss. In the end, he signed with auburn after olemiss told him they weren't going to recruit Jones. If I remember correctly, he wasn't happy when it became obvious that they were going after Jones and he had something to say about it around the time he committed to auburn.

Not yet. But let's be honest- we all know that Jones at the very least saw some stuff or heard other recruits talking about stuff being given out. Shoot- they were putting it on twitter.

If "we" are behind this, they are in trouble over Jones regardless of what he actually tells them. Some of what we have, it's probably best he not "have knowledge" of...

It's funny how the ncaa could give a shit about olemiss buying recruits out from under us. Once they buy georgia's main guy out from under them, now the ncaa is interested in what has happened to us at the hands of the rebels. They will blame all this mess on us, but in the end, they got too big for their britches and pissed off georgia (and possibly alabama). That is what got them.

Like I said- if they did it to just one school- like if they just bought Tony Conner out from under from untouchable Alabama- I doubt anything would happen. But when you have multiple schools from multiple conferences complaining- SOMETHING is going to happen. Let's see- Georgia, Florida State, Auburn, Alabama, LSU, and who knows who else I'm missing? The only person who doesn't seem pissed at them is Steve Spurrier and that's probably only because they didn't buy anyone out from under him, so why would he care?

[Gen. Grant]

Fingers crossed gentlemen, fingers crossed. This does not seem to be the faith based recruiting we have all heard about... There are simply too many fires.

Correct. Elijah Daniel has just as much on them as Jones. Maybe more. Daniel can tie it directly to(at least 1) member of their coaching staff -- and despite him toying with us, the fix was in early on. It took them getting greedy and pursuing Jones, Herron, and Carl Lawson while lying to him to push him to Auburn at the last minute(and we all know you don't have a bidding war with Auburn).

Do we know that the NCAA is also actively pursuing the Daniel case? Or is it just safe to assume that they will in the near future. It would only seem logical to investigate the rest if they smell smoke.

Let's not forget tennessee as well. They have had a burr in their asses over Davinner for quite some time now and we know that olemiss signed a few of davinner's memphis players. AND the touhys were one of davinner's big contributors.

Olemiss might get busted for everything from prostitution to racketeering. Hell, they may even be involved in voter fraud in hattiesburg.

I'm not surprised at all that Ole Miss is being investigated. I am surprised that it is happening this quickly. At this rate, they may get slammed by the Auburn game.

And this last class just poked too many people.

This is the way I see it. MSU turns in OM for buying players previously. Provides names, amounts, items, etc.. NCAA looks at it like sour grapes and just a rival starting shit, and does not look into it.

Then 2013 happens. Recruits that weren't bought and went elsewhere and tell what OM boosters offered to get them to switch. School notifies NCAA of the things OM boosters offered as payment. The stories from multiple sources are very similar and corroborate what lil ole MSU has been saying. End result, NCAA gets off their asses because there are too many incidents that are identical. Add to the fact that OM had been lulled into a false sense of security buying recruits, because they have been getting away with it for years. They've been skating and avoiding infractions for a while. This complacency resulted in the sloppy construction of the most brazen and blatantly obvious bought recruiting class in NCAA history. Greed will get you every time.

[Saltydog]

the process? Is he gonna say they offered him cash but he didn't take it? He damn sure can't say they offered and he took it. How much could they really turn up here w/o Jones indicting himself in the meantime?

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Define major trouble.
A few years bowl ban, major scholarship reductions for multiple years, possibly a firing of Freeze.

How bout this? Name the punishment you would accept in order for you to be able to swallow a one year Chris Jones suspincion?

Ole Miss not allowed to give football scholarships for four years, a four year bowl ban with the death penalty invoked for repeat violator status. In the SEC, that would be worse than the death penalty in my mind. It would take them YEARS to recover. That would set them back about 10 years- at best. Not only that, they would be constantly mentioned for their transgressions. PR nightmare.

I would rather them to go ahead and impose the death penalty. I'd like for future generations to have a puzzled look when someone mentions OM. To hear,"Ole Miss was an actual university," from a child's mouth would bring a smile to mine.

That's what I have been wondering. It goes back to Jones visiting UM to gather intel against. Was this something orchestrated by Mullen and the staff? If so, why would they do that? First off, I can't see a coach asking an 18 year old recruit to do something like that no matter how confident your are in their commitment. You have to consider the repercussions of it all. The only way I would go for it was if Jones was really adamant about it, assuming UM something really wrong to upset him and he was looking for payback.

The fact that Jones made those trips, though, tells me he had something to spill, and knew he was going to get more.

Jones wasn't a spy for us. The trips for a 18 year old kid was too much to pass up.

...of you who were one of the psychos who sent Jones death threats:

I hope the NSA tapped your death threat correspondence & has it tucked away in your NSA file.

This is one instance where I hope our out-of-control national surveillance apparatus stored all your crazy bullshit in a file with your full name & social security # on it. And will us it against you the first opportunity presented.

[Coach34]

Jones wasn't a spy for us. The trips for a 18 year old kid was too much to pass up.

Mullen and Jones had a great relationship. Mullen knew he was going to visit and basically said "let me know what they throw at you"....Jones came back from his visit and told Mullen what all they did and threw at him

People need to keep in mind- Ole Miss has been turned in by schools from all over the country- this isn't State trying to even the score

Jones told our staff WEEKS in advance of visiting Oxford that he intended to visit. Several of us knew this. Now, we hoped he would shut it down 100% after his OV to MSU -- but the possibility of him visiting them was already out there.

I hope the NSA tapped your death threat correspondence & has it tucked away in your NSA file.

This is one instance where I hope our out-of-control national surveillance apparatus stored all your crazy bullshit in a file with your full name & social security # on it. And will us it against you the first opportunity presented.

After all wasn't that their plan all along? Go after MSU any and every way possible on social media and message boards.

Mullen and Jones had a great relationship. Mullen knew he was going to visit and basically said "let me know what they throw at you"....Jones came back from his visit and told Mullen what all they did and threw at him

People need to keep in mind- Ole Miss has been turned in by schools from all over the country- this isn't State trying to even the score

This is what I keep coming back to and many of our fans predicted it would happen this way. The ncaa could give a shit about MSU being pissed off, but when olemiss got wayyy out of their lane and took their game from statewide to almost nation wide the ncaa has to listen to that many big schools. Any information we have is just thrown in with the rest.

I bet you can't get in a church in Oxford right now. Hugh and his angels are praying that this will go away but when you make a deal with the debil himself it's gonna bite you in the ass sooner or later and sooner has arrived.

If someone thinks a team wins because they believe god had a hand in the victory they are wacked in the head. God doesn't care who wins football games. If god cared Alabama would not have won the NC last year.

people will have to be patient. It's going to take a long, long time to get to the bottom of this one. OM's only hope IMO is that the NCAA is disbanded and left in the dust before sanctions are handed down. With the width of this investigation, that very well could be the case.

That is my fear. There is already many big time schools calling for the NCAA to be disbanded or at least stripped of some of their power or their power conference will pull out of the NCAA which would destroy it anyway.

Tunsil's recruitment, in my opinion, is the catalyst for the UM investigation.

Observing the lengths to which the bears are going to defend any and every rumor is quite entertaining. Should make for some drama on and off the field the next few months.

Oh and also the 100th post of this thread.

Listening to H2H just heard Paul Jones (funny to finally hear a voice and as usual he sounds nothing like what I imagined) and when he mentioned others being interviewed Cross seemed to be taken by suprise... Found that interesting when Paul already stated on his site he knew of other interviews... OM spin??? Who knows.

OM is all-in. No way OM tells Cross what is happening. I'm sure they've got everything locked down on a need to know basis.

Heck, OM might not even know everything that is happening. Why would the NCAA tell OM that they are interviewing people who don't belong to OM?

Ole Miss not allowed to give football scholarships for four years, a four year bowl ban with the death penalty invoked for repeat violator status. In the SEC, that would be worse than the death penalty in my mind. It would take them YEARS to recover. That would set them back about 10 years- at best. Not only that, they would be constantly mentioned for their transgressions. PR nightmare.

Though I know it's "pie-in-the-sky" stuff, I'd be tickled pink if Ole Miss just got booted from the SEC, perhaps down to the C-USA. That would put us in great shape to become an SEC power. Even though we are a relatively small, poor state, having the kind of state-wide support we'd get from being the only SEC team in Mississippi would be incredible. It would be much easier to recruit, with the talent-per-capita advantage, we'd start winning more and more consistently, eventually getting to a point where we could compete against the SEC powers in recruiting.

Just passing those Lake City exits, after you turn south on I-75 will make them cringe...

man as much as I'd like to see this happen you are fantasizing a little too much. They will never get booted from the SEC

Maybe they could be suspended from the SEC for 4-5 years and have to play as an independent? That would kill their athletic program.
