College career

[edit]

Jones had 11 points and 8 rebounds in his Baylor debut.[6]

Jones averaged 13.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game during his freshman season at Baylor. Despite the hype around the Baylor basketball program coming into the season, the Bears finished with a record of 18–13 (7–9 Big 12) and failed to make the NCAA Tournament. Despite Baylor's struggles Perry Jones was still named to the All-Big 12 Second Team along with Kansas junior Markieff Morris, Texas freshman Tristan Thompson, Iowa State senior Diante Garrett, and Texas A&M sophomore Khris Middleton.[7]

On March 10, 2011, NCAA investigators ruled Perry Jones ineligible for receiving improper benefits from his AAU coach prior to enrolling at Baylor University (The benefits were reportedly three 15-day loans to Jones' parents totaling less than $1,000, all of which were paid back). Jones was forced to sit out of Baylor's game against Oklahoma in the Big 12 tournament, which the Bears lost by 17 eliminating their chances at an NCAA Tournament berth.[8] Jones could return to Baylor next season on an athletic scholarship, but would have to sit out the first five games of the 2011–2012 season before he could be reinstated by the NCAA and eligible to play.

On April 11, 2011, Perry Jones announced that he would be returning to Baylor for his sophomore season.[9]
