Class of 2020 PF Isaiah Jackson (MI/SpireAcademyOH) to Kentucky

[PauliePeppas]

Love the optimism, but are we really that confident, if he visits? Why is that? Not like we have had a great track record of beating UK recently, and he's not in our traditional recruiting wheelhouse.

Mostly because Red has been on him wayyyy longer than Uk. Jackson knows hes not a top priority for Uk even if thats what their pitching. Michigan has been kind to SU in the past, there are connections

You have to take this kid and figure out how to make room later. Does anyone honestly see Howard Washington playing a significant role ever on this team? Don’t see him staying for long it Girard gets any future time at PG with his scoring ability. Getting a 5 star player like this would be incredible.

Unfortunately I’m getting a D. Bazely feeling about this recruitment. 5 star talent gets the fan base excited, then leaves us standing at the alter in the end. Prove me wrong Mr Jackson, who by the way blocks shots like Derrick Coleman and Etan Thomas used to do

Isaiah plays in a summer league that was set up by Derrick Coleman. Pretty sure they know each other and have a relationship.

Former NBA All-Star Derrick Coleman works to change lives in Michigan

For Coleman, it's bigger than basketball.

He seems like a cerebral and thoughtful kid. I think this has a good chance of playing out better for syracuse going after this kid vs. D.Baze

Isaiah Jackson, please.

I didn't realize this is how it worked. (clears throat)
I would also like one Isaiah Jackson, please.

If he takes his official very confident. 70/30 over Uk but have to nail down that visit. Cal is pushing

this makes no sense. if su is such a strong favorite, why would there be an "if" attached to his visit?

 

[PauliePeppas]

this makes no sense. if su is such a strong favorite, why would there be an "if" attached to his visit?

Because kids and their people can tell staffs whatever they want but actions tell the real story

Because it’s UK...

 

[TacoTime75]

Because it’s UK...

Would the visit be in October?

 

[Janner]

Looks like ‘Bama visit is squared away for 9/14

I would think this is a pretty good sign for us. If he's taking a visit to 'Bama then UK didn't sway him enough to commit, and, if he's going on visits then I would imagine he would visit us as well (as per the recent article).

 

[moqui]

Because it’s UK...

then its not & never was "70/30"

 

[PauliePeppas]

then its not & never was "70/30"

Thats more based on Jackson being down on UKs pecking order

 

[syrBossHogg]

I bet UCONN insiders feel they are in good shape

 

[TacoTime75]

PF Lance Ware trending to UK. Gotta think that helps us here...

 

[CuseMan4]

Both Jacksons with Newton is one hell of an athletic class. Add in the fact Goodine, Braswell and Quincy can all jump out of the gym, Carey is not far behind, that would be an extremely athletic team. Then you add shooters like Hughes, Buddy, JG3, and Goodine. Solid Center prospects in Sidibe, Edwards and Ajak and a glue guy like Marek. A lot can happen from now until then, but that’s one of the more rounded teams we’ve had since 2012 or 2013.

How do you feel about our chances of landing all 3?

 

[50YRsofCuse]

If Hughes has a good year overall (leadership, scoring, ball-handling, passing and defense) then he will probably be off to the professional ranks. Then it will be a possibility that one of either Washington, Sidibe or Braswell decides not to return. Then the chances of landing all 3 of Newton and the 2 Jacksons would be strong. However, only bringing Woody on is 100%. Like to say that Andre is a given also but it is not nailed down yet. Isaiah Jackson could end up being a hometown Michigan State signee.

Newton and Andre Jackson are as certain as it gets. Isaiah Jackson admittedly not so plugged in on but sounds like a legit shot.

The fact that you put Andre in with someone who literally is a lock is very reassuring!

There is a reason the thread over at the boneyard is dead and the only ones speaking of AJ aren’t insiders by any stretch.

CuseMan4 SUOrangeSU PauliePeppas how do we like our chances in a battle with ‘Bama?

Mentions taking a visit to bama and cuse next with a decision sometime early November.

Newton is already committed. Andre Jackson is virtually a lock. I don’t think Isaiah Jackson is a lock by any stretch. That’s a battle between Cuse, Kentucky and Bama. I can’t give you an answer who is leading right now cause I admittedly am not sure
