I'm such a huge fan of guys that just put everything into it. Rob is going to be a huge success no matter what he does with the skills and determination that he has developed.

Excellent article. I am so impressed with the improvement in Rob's game since he arrived at Iowa State. One of my favorite Cyclones on this team.

Big Rob Energy is the consumate Cyclone. We just love watching his effort, energy, and how much he has polished his skills in his time at Iowa State.

Great article. Reminded me of Jared's interview with BRE, perhaps Jared's best work.

Great article Rob, thanks for sharing a part of his story. From his first year here to this year, you can tell it is a byproduct of an incredible work ethic.

Would love to see an article on the meaning behind the teams tattoos. I always like hearing the meaning and we definitely have some deep minded individuals on this team.

I really like and respect Robert Jones. He has improved his game so much and is a very hard worker. He is at the core of what TJ's and Iowa State's basketball culture is today.
