This is great news! Welcome to the UConn family, Vance.
Always felt he was the better fit between him and Gabriel. At least that's how I now remember it. My reality is likely different from those who remember otherwise.
Now I'll go and eat my pound of crow.
It was interesting what Eric Bossi said on one of the National Recruiting Board forums about Jackson. It was as follows:
I think that Jackson has a long way to go defensively and I think that he's much more of a stretch four than a small forward as initially thought. Scores points and has shooting range, but I'm not sure how much of the way he does things will translate to the college game. Learning to play in a true college system is going to be an adjustment and I think the speed of the game is going to be something that will take some getting used to.
From all accounts, he's one of the better shooters in this class. He might be a tad light on the athletic side of things which would make defending his position a challenge, but as many have pointed out, Shad fit this very description and more than made up for his struggles on the defensive end of things with some big time Winning Time Daggers.
I'm excited to see how Vance develops over his time here in Storrs.
Again, Welcome to Husky Nation!!!!
