Jones, who stands at 5-‘0, was ranked the No. 1 junior college transfer, according to ESPN. He was also considering Kansas, Florida State, Baylor and Oklahoma State.
In Jones, Louisville will get a player that has history of winning.
"He's a fierce competitor, won a state championship in high school, played for a national championship last year in juco," NW Florida coach Steve Forbes said. "Now he has the opportunity to compete for a national championship at the next level and play for a Hall of Fame coach."
Jones didn’t waste too much time deciding, as he visited Louisville a day before committing.
At North Florida last season, he averaged 18.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.
