SF Vance Jackson (Signed LOI on 11/11)

[tcf15]

I always hate when someone revives an old thread and says what happened here, but what happened here?

Not sure what you mean, but there's nothing really new on Jackon's recruitment, except for this article from one of the recruiting sites:

Connecticut, UCLA, Arizona, Washington and USC have always seemed to find a way into the conversation when discussing Jackson's recruitment but as of now he has not moved too quickly with his process. At this point in the process, however, there are still some offers Jackson is hoping to see as he moves forward this spring and into the summer.

"It's going real good," he said. "... I want Kansas, Kentucky and Duke. I think Kansas has called and Duke. They'll be considered real high because they are real good basketball programs, and it depends on the situation and how I would fit in. Those offers would help me with my official visits."

You can't teach height, but Chief can.

Chief might just be the most interesting poster in the world. Recruits become top 10 simply by Chief mentioning their name.

Calhoun wanted to keep Clyde but Hathaway ran for political cover and forced Clyde out.

Exactly how effective would our recruiting have been after he got pinched for soliciting. Come to UConn, get an education in the classroom, on the hardwood and with the hard...ah...never mind.

I heard at the time that he lied about his behavior to Coach Calhoun; that really dug his grave more than anything Hathaway did or said. A prominent area rabbi (from Vernon I believe) was caught up in the same investigation of Hartford street prostitutes. A few years earlier
one of my former students (in my honors US History class) helloed me on the street where she was working. That is a situation for which
I didn't have a ready quip. It was active and very open in Hartford in those years. From a childhood friend in the Hartford police; I heard
that there were some prominent political and/or wealthy customers who were kept out of the news. To make this work some semi-prominent
names Vaughn and the rabbi were given out.

2016 SF Vance Jackson listed entire Pac-12, plus UNLV, UConn, Maryland and Memphis. Cal, USC, Zona probably in strongest among Pac-12 teams.

Vance Jackson listed UConn, California, USC, Oregon, Maryland, and Memphis as schools recruiting him the most agressively, according to Scout.

We're the best school on that list, and have his former teammate on the roster. Would be huge.

UConn, California, Maryland, Memphis, and USC recruiting him hardest. Has a little bit to say about each. Will cut list during first period and commit second period.

Is KO still going hard at this kid? Also does the staff have a relationship with his new prep program?

Windsor, CA and a fly by night basketball high school instead of Orange County and Mater Dei? Interesting choice. http://1percentclub.org/Prolific Prep.htm

Kid loves pinot noir, what can you say.

Josh Jackson's there too.

He just posted an interview with Jackson. Looks like he's scheduled an official visit with us.

Jackson said he's not worried about location and he knows what he's looking for in a college program.

"I'll play anywhere, it doesn't matter if it's East Coast, anywhere," he said. "A place that feels like home, and I want an opportunity to play right away and complement my team in a positive way

Jackson recently transferred to Prolific Prep in Napa, Calif., the same program where fellow Maryland prospect Josh Jackson landed. He only has two officials set in stone -- to Cal and UConn -- with several other schools under consideration. Jackson said he'll definitely take all five visits, and is considering Memphis, USC, Maryland, Utah, Colorado and Washington for other officials.

I still think this guy's flying way under the radar.

It's understandable why Gabriel is the top priority, but Vance Jackson would fit in really well here.

Completely agree. If Gabriel is Plan A, Durham and Jackson are a hell of a pair of backups. If either of those guys was more likely to come here than Gabriel, I'd back out of Gabriel now and close out Durham or Jackson. If we could somehow land both Gabriel and one of these two, it means that Amida is going pro, and that maybe the AAC won't be such a huge hindrance.

This is what we need in a stretch 4. Sign him up asap

 

[scotty0330]

Is there any issue with prolific prep? Is this another one of those made up high schools where this kids eligibility would come into question...a la kobie Eubanks?

That's how Ray played. What's the rush? Love his ability to shoot it and get the shot off. Lot to like here.

1) No, it definitely is not how Ray played.
2) He was making a joke about how the video uses so much slow-motion.

Maryland scares me the most as this kid seems to be a UA kid and Maryland is (seemingly) using its UA connection (and maybe money) to make a big recruiting impact.
Case in point, DS.

This is just one man's opinion based on what I see, read, and hear.
