I've heard the nicknames given to Nekia Jones such as "Baby Barkley" and "Shaq" and Hoopgurlz even named her to the All Danielle Adams team but in fairness, there aren't anymore Adams out there that I've seen. What I will say is she has taken a little from all three and rolled that into a package in which once it's opened, I guarantee you will be on the edge of your seat every time she touches the ball. If you dare blink, you might miss something you probably never saw a kid this size do in your life, yes in your life. After her freshman season, I saw her rock the house at Basketball On The Bayou. This continued through not only the 4A Regional Tournament semifinals in Houston but in the state Final Four in Austin as Jones simply put on several shows. This summer, the buzz was how she razzled and dazzled the ball against T-Jack and most recently, Jones was still putting on a show in Arlington in front of numerous college. As she enters her junior season, Beaumont Ozen will once again be a favorite to make it back to the Regional F-4 with Jones being a major factor.
