I haven't seen Tyler Jackson play much, but my personal thoughts about him are kind of indecisive.

He has a loose handle at times, but nobody can stay in front of him.  He's too slight of build, but has long arms and can be disruptive.  He didn't seem like a pure shooter, but makes enough where you have to play up on him and then he gets you slip sliding with his dribbling skills.

He's a weird player. I feel like he has the elite ability to disrupt defenses off the dribble. Watching his highlights is really fun, not many guys  move with the ball like that.

And despite of all the hand wringing about his "decline" in the rankings, he is still ranked 52 in the latest RSCI (up 4 slots apparently).

Is Syracuse a program that can afford to turn down a top 60 talent that really wants to play here?  Hence, my opinion that he's a "take" provided the price is right and his attitude is on point.

I only know the first point, my perception (and the recruiting services) of his basketball talent.  Red might have a very different conclusion about Jackson's talent.

That, or the other two reasons (money and attitude) seem to have Red slamming the door in his face, so my opinion is irrelevant.
