Now, what I'd really like to know, is whether Tara and maybe the team get an invite to come to the announcement :)

College coaches are not allowed to attend athletes' commitment or LOI events. The relevant bylaw:

13.1.5.9 Letter-of-Intent Signing. Any in-person, off -campus contact made with a prospective student- athlete for the purpose of signing a letter of intent or other commitment to attend the institution or attendance at activities related to the signing of a letter of intent or other commitment to attend the institution shall be prohibited.

Didn't someone say that the LOI has already been signed  (with whatever school)?  Wednesday is the public announcement.  Possibly Jones's future school has gotten a ruling from the NCAA that this rule does not prohibit anything after the LOI is submitted.  (I wouldn't read it that way, but I could imagine it could be read that way.)
