Would be a nice addition as it looks like he has an all around game from the video and a real good athlete. Also, not a stick and mix it up inside if needed at times for rebounds. In ko we trust!

This guy looks like a versatile beast. I think this is pretty late to get in on him, but he'd be a fantastic addition.

A Maryland "insider" on the rivals board claims Jackson is very tight lipped about his recruitment, and only said that he had a great time on his UMD visit.

KO started following his AAU coach on Twitter shortly after following Vital (so 7 or 8 days ago). Hopefully we get a visit.
Makes you wonder if Vital got to know him well while they were both UNLV commits, and can help convince Jackson to visit.

Prefer Taurean Thompson, however, if that ship has sailed this is a nice consolation.

From Canada and Oregon involved, I know they lost Jamal Murray to UK but it seems like they get everyone else that they're after from Canada.

That ship has sailed and Jackson is much higher rated.
Jackson is much stronger and while only 6'7.5 in shoes, he has a 7'3 wingspan. Plenty big enough to guard 4s just as well as Thompson would be able to. His offensive game looks much more diverse too. I like this guy's profile a lot actually.

Don't know why I relied on ESPN to compare them. Either way, I prefer whomever is the better rebounder. That area still needs to be addressed with our remaining 2 schollies.

Would be a great get but interesting that looks like it's direct UA vs Nike battle?

Why do we seem so desperate to get a PF when we already have 3 for next season? Makes no sense. Get a big center.

We have Facey, one freshman, and another possible RS freshman. Jackson can log minutes at the 3 and 4, which would allow Larrier to play the 2 sometimes which may also be beneficial. He would be a spectacular addition to the program...

He has a nice jumpshot also. Would be a nice addition for sure.

My understanding is he is a SF/PF, but could be wrong.

Agreed, he would definitely play major minutes at the three. Yes we have Larrier and Vantastic, but adding a player of this caliber to the mix isn't something we should pass up.

Is this kid Canadian? If so Oregon has been huge recruiting our neighbors to the north.
