Will Jackson Commits To UConn!!!!!!

[huskiesnyc]

It still says n.2 AAC, 14 nat but I think your right because that doesn't seem right

That site can be finicky right after new commitments. Hit refresh once or twice I'm looking at it now

Wouldn't mind another GA guy in Doral Moore next.

Wow - I didn't realize how good your seats were. I will have to re-evaluate your comments regarding a top 50 recruit now.

Said nothing negative about the kid, my comment is about our recruiting philosophy.

 

[CTBasketball]

Great pickup. It would be even better if Comanche or Goven committed.

And how about that Georgia connection!

 

[selles]

I'm at every game. You and your internet friends can come find me, I sit two rows behind Mrs. Napier.

Ok, I'll know how to find you - you'll be the guy who, when we dunk, is p#ssed we didn't hit a 3 instead.

 

[huskiesnyc]

Move onto 2016! Recruiting never stops!!

We are in a very nice and unique position.

Exactly. Lock down the #1 class in 2016, 17 and 18 also

 

[DogMania]

yawn. Wake me up when we get a high rated big man.

Please don't feed this Negative Nancy. Let's enjoy this latest KO recruiting win.

I have a strong feeling that KO is methodically landing the recruits that he wants most. He knows what he's doing. He'll land whatever Bigs he needs when that opportunity arises. I think we've all seen that most championships are won on the backs of the wings and guards, and rarely the elite bigs. Now I'll gladly welcome the best Bigs that KO can land when that time comes. Now it's time to celebrate Jacksons verbal commitment. Welcome to the party, Will Jackson.

 

[Penfield]

This Jackson is very excited about that Jackson

I agree with everything you said, except you cannot win championships without great interior post play.

Offers from UConn, Kansas and Florida say it all. What a get!

Welcome to UConn!

...and what is that philosophy? Because a big man hasn't committed yet that doesn't mean they're not after one. The staff is after both Jessie Govan and Chance Comanche very hard, 2 high level bigs, the same way they were after Jackson and Jalen Adams hard at the PG position. I don't understand some of you dudes acting like they're not recruiting bigs at all when 3 posts an update every single week with activity that includes their recruiting of bigs.

1999 and 2011 beg to differ. Good is enough.

 

[noeynox]

Awesome news. Great get. Welcome Will.

KFree averaged like 13 and 8 and Voskuhl had 6 and 6. Oriakhi played extremely well in March as did Okwandu and Roscoe.

You are capable of winning a lot of games throughout the season with guard play, but great post play elevates your game a bunch.

 

[Strummer]

What the hell are we going to do this summer if we looking to lock down a top class before spring even arrives.

Well. We could work on our grammar and punctuation.

 

[johnhuskies95]

I want him more than any recruit in 2015.

 

[Strummer]

I'm suggesting that we start getting these printed up soon, given that his nickname is the turtle. Darn, I loved the flames coming out of his arm sockets when he flew. Damn nice touch Japanese movie guys.

You would be right sir

Hard to go wrong with a Calhoun, Hamilton, and Moore all on the same team

Giving birth to a new theory that basketball intelligence is inversely related to ones proximity to the court.

Was going to ask why Jackson dropped from #14 on 3/11/13 (http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/colleges/georgia/post?id=17057) to out of the top 60 in his class. (I know we don't trust ESPN).

One of those articles mentions a knee injury. Anyone have any insight?

So you don't think DD can go 15 and 7 and the triple headed monster of centers can go 10-7? That's not even figuring in Gif's numbers. Nobody considered Jake and KFree great. They were very good and we aren't far off now from being very good.

Another tall guard. A lot of size and length on the court the next couple years.

Consistent pattern with all the guard recruits Ollie has signed.

Knee injury. 80% torn meniscus. He rehabbed for a while and got it back to 100%.
