Nova grad I know says that even though he was at Columbia at the time, Jones is responsible for Reynolds ending up at Nova.

It took effort to entrench the Villanova brand into the consciousness of Washington's top players. Wright said the signing of Anderson started the pipeline. The Wildcats were considering a handful of players when Anderson was a junior at St. John's in 2002-03. Joe Jones, then an assistant at Villanova, continued to raise Anderson's name. Jones had heard of Anderson from a Washington area AAU coach and was impressed with Anderson and his family.

"I thought he was a high-character kid," said Jones, now the head coach at Columbia. "Did I imagine him as tough as he has become? No. But I thought he would be able to help the program."

While recruiting Anderson, the Wildcats got themselves on Cunningham's radar because he and Anderson teamed together at St. John's. Commitments from two local prospects -- combined with a run to a region final in the 2006 NCAA tournament -- enhanced the luster of the Wildcats' program. Wright spoke at camps in the Washington area and established connections, in turn leaving an impression on both players and coaches.

Doing a little research on this, it appears that Jones got Nova into DC as well.
