MORGANTOWN -
Senior Forward Kevin Jones rewrote the WVU record books
earlier this week. Jones now holds the school record for offensive rebounds in
a career with 313.
Jones set the record early in the first half against Alcorn
State. Following the game, Head Coach Bob Huggins praised his star player.
"He is right now the all-time leading offensive rebounder,"
Huggins said. "Second leading scorer, second leading rebounder I think on the
Final Four team. He has had a Hall of Fame career."
With a potential Hall of Famer taking the floor this season,
we thought it would be fun to check out where Kevin Jones ranks on the all-time
WVU charts.
Jones owns the offensive rebounding record. His 727 rebounds
are good enough for 17th in school history. Jones is 138 rebounds
behind Darryl Pure for 10th all-time.
Jones is 25th on the career scoring chart at WVU
with 1,229 points. That puts him 432 points behind Chris Brooks for 10th
all-time.
KJ has recorded 14 double-doubles. That is good enough for 28th
on the all-time list. 11 more double-doubles will vault Jones into ninth, which
is the spot currently owned by both Mack Isner and Damian Owens.
Jones has scored ten points or more in 65 games throughout
his career. That is 22nd in school history. He is 15 games out of
eighth in that category. Ron "Fritz Williams, Hot Rod Hundley and Dale Blaney
hold that spot on the chart.
KJ is also appearing on the blocked shots list. His 78
blocks are 15th in school history. Jones is 15 blocks behind Joe
Alexander for tenth.
It is also important to point out that Jones not only owns
the career record in offensive rebounds, but he also owns the season record.
His 135 offensive rebounds in 2010 are at the top of that list. Jones is also
third with 108 offensive boards last season.
Jones has the better part of his senior season ahead of him
to climb up those lists. It is impressive to see the wide variety of
accomplishments he has already achieved. From rebounds to points scored and
blocked shots, Jones is clearly a special player.
Perhaps fans should try and grab as many tickets as possible
to watch KJ play in Morgantown. It may be a while before WVU has another player
achieve the kind of stats Jones will achieve in his career.
