Sheppard is going to get more minutes, especially


her junior and senior years when she's starting. As for Jones, she wanted more playing time and I can understand those who would like to see Kendyl Brooks receive less playing time. Kendyl is getting better but if you look at what both did in high school, Jones was considered a much better prospect. I guess with Mabrey doing well along with Sheppard and another talented PG (King) coming in next season, that Jones saw the writing on the wall? Jones was considered a PG and Tech will have 2 next season (with Mabrey likely holding down that position for 3 more seasons). I wish Shaniya Jones the best and hope that she finds a place where she'll be comfortable and more importantly, happy. Players are more impatient today than in the past. She was a 4-star prospect and likely feels that she deserves better. I'm fine with that, but you never know when Mabrey or Sheppard would come down with an injury and she would suddenly get the minutes she wanted (like Ryan Willis taking over for Josh Jackson). It must've been frustrating for Jones to sit on the bench with more talented players in Emery, Sheppard, and Mabrey getting most of the playing time. I can understand if she wasn't thrilled with the coach's daughter getting all those minutes (if that was a reason for leaving) but that's life. Kenny Brooks is the coach and he'll live or die with the decisions he makes. Right now, he's 9-0.
