Kelley Jones said he stayed at Mississippi State for his final season despite receiving interest from other schools that could have offered him more money. Jones discussed his decision with Chris Low of On3.
“I could have gotten more (money), a lot of numbers were being thrown out there by other schools. But that doesn’t mean anything to me. I just feel like all money ain’t good money. You feel me.”
