He’s a transfer from UNC-Greensboro signed by Ole Miss in the off-season. Brown-Jones was a member of an Ole Miss portal class ranked by On3 as the 14th-best in all of college basketball.Brown-Jones began his career at VCU and has one year of eligibility remaining. He averaged 18.9 points and 7.5 rebounds per game for the Spartans last season. Brown-Jones was named first-team All-Southern Conference. Ben Garrett of the Ole Miss Spirit (OMSpirit.com) sits down one-on-one with MBJ to discuss his unique journey to Ole Miss, how he’s adjusted to Oxford’s small-town environment, the Rebels’ NCAA Tournament chances and much, much more.
