Quotable: “John Thompson delivered him to me from Georgetown. John called me one day when he was at the Barbary Coast and I met him. He said, ‘You want Anthony?’ We only had four McDonald’s All-Americans in 19 years, and Jones was one of them. He was a great talent, and he could jump to the moon.” — Jerry Tarkanian, former UNLV coach
