Class of 2025 PG Tyler Jackson (MD) Offered

We may or may not take a filler on Jackson but if we miss on Lewis, we'll land a big time portal pg. We have the slot open for PT.
I hope you're right but after watching us not able to get an elite PG in the portal earlier, I'm not that confident. This is no way intended on a slight to Carlos, but he wasn't exactly the big time transfer at PG we were hoping we'd get.

And NIL is improved vs what it was going into this past off season.

Only a handful of top 25 teams from last year handed the reigns over to a freshman and even those that did had upperclassmen next to them or sharing minutes ( quite a few that came from portal) with them. Even an elite freshman PG, of which there are few, is hardly a sure thing to lean on these days.

PG and C cost a lot in the portal for the exact reasons above.
 
Speaking of Tyler Jackson and his drop. He was an early performer, coming in and playing well as a skinny freshman against older, bigger players. The assumption was that he would grow a bit, fill out his body, and get better.

He hasn't grown, he's still skinnier than anybody else on the court, and hasn't gotten much better.

Other guys have passed him, but he is still young and electric with the ball. The way he moves around the court reminds me of some great players it would be sacrilege to mention next to Jackson's name.

I like raw players with elite skills, they can develop the rest of the game to go with it. Even if Jackson doesn't get any taller (he's still young) he can put on good weight like Mintz did before his second year.

I think Jackson is a take, as long as we don't think he'll affect the recruitment of other players we want more.

The entire team needs to be rebuilt each season anyway. It's likely all our ball handlers are gone next year. Lampkin, Carlos, Taylor, McLeod and Davis are all gone next year. Starling, Bell, and Freeman are also likely to leave.

Or returning guards are Cuffe and Moore, maybe Westry.

Even if we get Lewis and a transfer PG, there still is room for Jackson, as long as he understands he probably won't play much his first year, unless he really earns it.

We missed big time on getting the kind of PG we were expecting to get (this past off season). If that's just about NIL and now we have more, cool. I'm good with that. It just seemed odd how we couldn't reel anyone in who was even at a mid to high level. Also, don't get me wrong... I REALLY like what Red is doing and the effort he and staff are putting in with recruiting. I'm not sure Adrian is the answer, but it certainly appears as a program we're heading in the right direction versus what we saw the last few years under Jim's leadership.
 
Does the recent losses of Lewis and Tillery mean that Jackson is the PG we will be going after or will we not go after a PG at all and look to the portal?
 
I don’t follow recruiting threads too closely anymore cuz I get excited about the possibility and then disappointed when they don’t commit. When Jackson was first mentioned in this site, he was said to be the #9 recruit in the class and recently received offers from Kansas and unc. I get that things change over time but now all of the sudden he’s our 4th? option and it seems the consensus on this board is we can take him or leave him? I say just take him if he wants to be here.

I'm with you. Grab this talented player!

I can’t say I’m necessarily against grabbing a talented player like Jackson, and I have no inside info as to whether he has a committable offer or not. However, I do know that they are now using analytics to drive a lot of their decision making when it comes to recruiting, and therefore aren’t going to be recruiting on talent alone.
 
If Kiyan ends up committing tomorrow night Syracuse tomorrow, does Tyler Jackson’s recruitment start to pick up a little bit? And would Syracuse be back in it?
