Reliving a "dis"

Mention of a cheap and tawdry announcement tactic - the old hat switcheroo - link here.

A native of College Park, Ga., Jones has a swagger about him, a smooth-as-silk style that stands out in a crowd. That was evident four years ago when he walked into a press conference to announce his college choice with a Georgia Tech hat on his head. At the last second, he grabbed a WVU cap and proclaimed, "I'm going to West Virginia."


The move might have rankled those in Atlanta, but Jones has never looked back. He's adjusted to life in Morgantown and is establishing himself as one of the nation's most electric and versatile players.
