Josh Jackson

[Edward Sargent]

So I am waiting for Gilbert. Why didn't we sign this Jackson kid? Looks like DHam light!

I'm wondering why we didn't sign Tatum, Giles and Monk. Someone's asleep at the switch.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Without Gilbert this is really unwatchable. I am going to bed. Didn't get much from his time in but I like the size and smarts.
Good night

 

[Jaker]

I still don't understand why Stone did not come. ;*

 

[Marty Jackson]

I'll Trump your Stone with a Ryan Gomes...

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Any chance we can get this kid to Storrs? Seems very unlikely this late, but with DHam leaving who knows...

Nope. Very hard to swoop in and land a top-25 recruit, let alone the #1 guy.

Me thinks that DHam would be the only one to think that Josh Jackson is DHam lite

Why didn't you land the #1 recruit in the class KO?!...for shameee

 

[Edward Sargent]

Isn't it odd he hasn't signed. Are there issues?

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

He is a top 5 player and arguably the best player in the class. We don't normally get those types of prospects with the exception of Drummond

 

[mauconnfan]

Weird yeah but did you hear the kid talk? Very intelligent and mature kid who I am guessing is making sure on this huge decision for him. That's only assumption on mart though and I am definitely not one to go with on those Ed.

Isn't it odd he hasn't signed. Are there issues?

I don't why it's odd. Plenty of top guys wait to see how rosters shape up in the spring before deciding on a school. They have that luxury when they're good enough to get a scholarship anywhere.

 

[Yankees32123]

Isn't it odd he hasn't signed. Are there issues?

I doubt there are issues. He's very smart, and probably wants college rosters to settle so he can pick the best option for his 1 year in school.

 

[UConnStats]

I'm sure he's not worried about college eligibility. As stated, he's a smart kid. He's either just waiting for the right time for his family to announce, or he's trying to find a loophole to declare for the draft.

I would take him before Jaylen Brown if he got into the draft this year.

Especially with the new rules in place that DHam chose to ignore. Rosters are even more so up in the air than in previous years so why not see where the chips may fall first.

 

[4in16]

Committed to Kansas.

 

[tcf15]

Still confused as to why we didn't sign this guy

Last I heard, we're holding out for Dave Wingett to reclassify.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

We still have a shot. Jackson may decommit once KO puts on the full court press. Just you wait!

 

[Huskyforlife]

I think it's fair to wonder why we wouldn't recruit him from the beginning. Obviously it was to late to get in on him.

I think its fair and appropriate to say in this situation KO and the staff didn't waste their time on him because he was always gonna go to a major conference team. We very rarely go after the top 5-10 players in the class

Ugh.

Perhaps, but that could also just be an assumption.
