Will Jones epitomizes grit, and his story reveals a tenacious vision for Aggies basketball that draws parallels to life for non-athletes. The energy Jones exudes in this exclusive conversation comes following a first of historic proportion: NC A&T played Stanford on its Greensboro campus. It marked the first visit to the Corbett Center ever by a Power 5 opponent, and also the first time the Cardinal ever visited an HBCU. Jones details the impact of this game and how it extends far beyond basketball in providing us lessons in life, especially during a pandemic and period of social unrest. Plus, how does the A&T coach define 'Aggie Pride?' Follow host Kyle Schassburger on Twitter or Instagram @KyleSchassSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
