TAMPA ? Sophomore guard Dominique Jones is on pace to be the second fastest Bull in history to reach 1,000 career points and one of only three USF players to do it in two seasons. Jones will also be the quickest sophomore to reach 1,000.
Jones currently sits at 959 career points and is on pace to eclipse 1,000 points at Connecticut on Saturday, Feb. 21, three games from now. If he goes over 1,000 at UConn he will have reached 1,000 in his 57th career game.
Only Tony Grier reached 1,000 career points in fewer games. Grier, who spent one season at Polk Community College before coming to USF, surpassed 1,000 in his 51st career game during his junior season.
USF's all-time leading scorer, Charley Bradley, went over 1,000 in his 59th career game during his sophomore season.
“What Dominique has accomplished in just under two seasons has been tremendous,” said USF Head Coach Stan Heath. “And to accomplish what he has playing in the Big East is even more impressive. If he continues to work hard and improve he has a chance to be mentioned in the same breath as the other great players who have played at USF.”
