SF Justin Jackson (picks Maryland)

[Matrim55]

I've heard the Jackson visit went well. Did not hear the same about Thompson. Pretty vague, though. I'm trying not to get ahead of myself.

I've got several grains of salt over here!

Seriously though, I appreciate anyone who passing on recruiting info. It makes the workday go by at something close to an acceptable pace.

EDIT: Re: Thompson, he had a mechanical post game, narrow shoulders and what looked like only ok athleticism. I wasn't disappointed when he cut us from his list. I will be disappointed if Jackson does the same.

This kid looks way better than BIG T, much more versatile, much more of a game of
How basketball is played today and how Uconn plays as well.

Surprised to hear you say anyone is better than Big T. Does JJ have a good nickname as well?

Someone mentioned the Canadian accent. I don't hear it at all. But I do hear some slight Jamaican inflection. I wonder if he has that background. Kentan Facey might be an interesting person in all this.

It appears so. He's from Toronto which has a large Jamaican population (Denham Brown was also from Toronto). Sounds like he has that same canadian/jamaican accent.

Yeah good calls. I definitely hear that now.

For the record, he talks here (102):

not sure if there's any positive overlap but LG Gill committed to Maryland.

Poor decision Gill, bad coach.

Won't hurt, but Gill is likely a role player at Maryland.

meant to type *position* overlap here, but yea both guys seem like 3/4 types but Jackson obviously more talented.

This is a link to a DraftExpress interview with Jackson. Very noticeable accent.

Justin Jackson would start for us, already built like a grown arse man and has a ridiculous wingspan and set of mitts. Ollie needs to close the deal here.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Ollie out if he doesn't close here.

 

[Yankees32123]

Future pro. Would be a huge get and solidify our starting lineup if Brimah comes back. We'd start Jalen, Rodney, Terry, Justin, and Amida with Alterique, Christian, Vance, Juwan, Kentan, and Mamadou off the bench. That is a deep team with a lot of options and different ways to hurt you.

 

[Sonofabeach]

I hope your not a Husky fan, your statement is totally negligent on so many levels, don't even get me started. Please delete.

Thank you.

He is Joking!

 

[EBonz30]

He is Joking!

Sorry didn't realize, some of the comments over the last year against Ollie especially during the season was mind boggling.

Wasn't sure if this was another, I apologize.

Can we please stop with the lineup predictions.

Comes from an UnderArmour AAU program, so... yeah. Makes sense they'd try to steer him to College Park.

If he comes from an Under Armour team wouldn't that virtually eliminate Oregon? Guess it's a good sign for us that he is going to visit a nike school right?

 

[gioff23]

Under Armor is moving a large operation of theirs to Oregon - - so, no

Where's the love button? What. A. Squad.

Could be wrong, but I don't think shoe companies factor in that much for the players that fall outside of the top 20.

Hope so.
