Two D1 basketball players. Parents must be so jacked up! Congrats Marcus. Kid is actually a stud and could play at a higher level.

As a senior at Albany Academy, Jackson averaged 27.9 points, eight rebounds, 9.2 assists and 5.7 steals per game.

He is walking on to UAlbany… kid put up great numbers.

I love how he turned down UMass to go to Albany.

Those are some impressive high school stats and Albany is at the low end of D1. There's D1 and then there's "D1!!!".
