USF fans are already working themselves up into a lather about whether or not Dominique Jones will go into the NBA Draft. And in the absence of solid information, many are believing whatever they want to believe, even going to Steve Duemig-like "you don't know what I know" lengths with what is probably second or third-hand information.
The DoJo-Go-Pro-O-Meter represents our best guess at the odds of DoJo going pro, based on news reports and other hard evidence. No gossip, no hearsay, no friend of a friend. The meter goes from 0% to 100%, and will only reach one of those two points when a final decision is made.
Greg Auman had the first article about DoJo's decision:
"I think about it all the time. That's your dream when you're a little kid," Jones said. "I'm taking everything day-by-day. The NBA is not going anywhere. I feel like I'll just take my time and make my decision on what I'm going to do, finish the year out here and just weigh my options."
Based on this story, and the collection of NBA mock drafts that mostly have Jones taken in the second round (where contracts are not guaranteed) or not at all, we are setting the DoJo-Go-Pro-O-Meter at 30% to start. As more news comes out, we will make adjustments as necessary.
