I’m doing some deeper research on Jerone Morton and seeing that one of his more notable performances from this past season came against No. 9 Gonzaga on Jan. 15.

In that 85-65 loss he totaled 16 pts (season-high), 2 boards and 2 assists, while shooting 6-11 (54.5%) from the field and 3-6 (50%) from deep.

7.8 points per game may not be appealing at first glance, but seeing a strong performance against not just a top-10 school, but against Gonzaga, is definitely encouraging.

Morton, a rising senior, spent his first two
seasons at Morehead State before transferring to Washington State.

As a native of Lexington, Morton played at George Rogers Clark HS and played a role on their 2022 Sweet 16 Championship team.

🚨Washington State transfer and Kentucky native Jerone Morton has committed to UK!

The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 7.8 pts, 1.9 reb, and 2.6 ast per game this past season in the WCC.

He shot 43.8% from the field and 38.7% from deep.

Welcome to BBN, Jerone!

Ok #BBN let’s practice before Stokes announces his decision (whether it’s good or bad). Repeat after me:

Tyran Stokes’ decision will not impact the outcome of my life.
