Class of 2024 SG Ian Jackson (NY) Offered

[orangefog]

Ian Jackson is by far the most overrated player in the class

He reminds me of Andre Jackson.

He reminds me of Andre Jackson.

Not even in the same ballpark as far as motor and intensity

I guess it's possible if he has yet to sign a NLI. Not cool but possible.

Letters of intent can and have been broken. It's not official until he's in the student directory.

And in theory, couldn't you use your 1 time free transfer rule to "break" and NLI?

No, you don’t need to transfer if youre not enrolled in the school. You can get out of your NLI if you’re not enrolled.

I love Pitino as a coach but everything else about him is slimy and disgusting.

I don't think there's anything slimy here. Jackson and his family have been doing NIL since 2021. It became the talk of the town when the New York Post covered it. Opened some eyes for sure. Pitino knows what he has to do to get him to Queens for one to two years at minimum.

I don't trust Pitino, but you are 100% correct. It's Shootout at the OK Corral time and Pitino is coming with both guns blazing. Some coaches are built for 2023 CBB, between transfers and NIL, and Pitino is in a perfect situation to stock his roster.

Best case scenario is that St. John's underperforms this season.

Hmm.. so it's anything goes. I see why a guy like Jay Wright bailed. I hope Coach A will step up and not be afraid to get his hands dirty so that we can compete in this new Wild West.

I feel like he was only committed to UNC for about 15 seconds before Pitino came along.

When Davis is on the hot seat after their weirdly constructed roster sucks again this year...

Let UNC keep Bacot for another 3-4 years and they'll be formidable.

meh. If we had a coach flipping guys like Simeon Wilcher and Ian Jackson to Cuse i'd be ecstatic. What i hate about it is that our "brand" is so much bigger than St. Johns and in the NIL wild west era we're not pulling off moves this big. I love Elijah Moore and Donnie Freeman's potential, don't get me wrong, but for the most part we're still swinging and missing on the TOP TOP guys. Ian Jackson is real deal, top 10 player.

If we had gone after Pitino as head coach, we’d easily be preseason top 25. The guy is a master at turning programs around and is one of the best college coaches and teachers of the game ever. Ask JB. He certainly believes so. Btw, how did SJU hold onto Soriano but we couldn’t hold onto Jesse?

St Johns has a billionaire booster (Vitamin Water founder) so NIL isn’t as big of an issue.

Freeman is ranked considerably higher than Wilcher.

Oh dang I didn't realize wilcher had fallen like that. Haven't paid attention to his ranking, just remember when he was around the top 5. He's 34 in composite, Donnie is 33.

I was just looking at 247. They have Freeman 28 and Wilcher 49. I think Freeman may end up top 20.

You've really been on one lately. Can Red coach a game before we start complaining.

Yeah, Donnie is really been killing it. And, Wilcher dropped like a rock. I wonder why?

His numbers either went down or stayed the same his SR season at Roselle Catholic. I think he's an example of other players catching up to him when he was an early bloomer.
