Ian Jackson to Announce Tomorrow per Sources
- Thread starter Tarheel75
- Start date
Hope to land him , seen where hub was visiting boogie fwiw .. seems to point jackson to UK hope I eat crow on that
No, he is recruiting them both. Boogie is a PG & Ian is a 2G/F.
A puncher's chance, I would think. His OV gave He & his family lots to think over. Just have to wait until tomorrow and see. Although he is listing 5 schools, most think it's between Us & UK. I don't have a clue as to where he will choose to play.
UNC will have to defeat the dream school for this one. He has been seeing himself at UK for years and said as much in older interviews. Let’s hope his visit was enough to land him.
Have said the same thing for weeks, based upon what is being thrown out there. But as stated if wrong will gladly eat crow. Will not be the last time which I have been wrong, but have been correct on a few as well.
I think it will be kensucky. I think he is enamored by coming in and being the top dog for one season so he can get to the NBA. If it was just from a programs stand point then I think its us. I could go on and on as to how the NBA has ruined the game of basketball and its players
It's probably UK. But we still have a lot of great options in the 2024 class. And who knows what might happen between now and signing day in November. If UK fans continue calling for Cal's head, if the season continues poorly, there is nothing stopping Ian Jackson from changing his mind.
Dunn, Trimble... heck RJ Davis and Caleb Love both technically have Covid years that would allow them to play during the '24-'25 seasons if they wanted to. Cadeau is the only guy out of all our current players and commitments who looks like a surefire 1st round draft pick. Hubert is doing an impressive job landing recruits when we can't promise them that players are leaving.
And again I wonder how Trentyn Flowers factors into all this. He's like 6'8" but everyone says he's a comboguard. Are we genuinely in that recruitment or are we window dressing?
Also, Drake Powell is on an upward trajectory. His ball handling and passing are exemplary. He can defend basically every position. He'll be a factor in the perimeter rotation. Perhaps even an off guard that does a lot of the point guard things that Pinson used to do.

Agree about Drake Powell. I love the WORK he is obviously putting in to add additional skill to what he already had, which is his high motor and athleticism.
His improvement on his raw unrefined game reminds me of the breakout of Victor Oladipo at IU.
That is my high end comp for Drake Powell.
Jackson decision is made, regardless of who he picks.
Makes more sense that Hubert is there to watch Wilcher and High
Hope he picks us!
But I am really enjoying how Hubs has us right back in the mix! This is UNC recruiting as it should be and I expect he will soon get the on court success to match!
Join the Family, Mr. Jackson!

I'm seeing that some of these experts are basing their new guesses on all the negativity coming from the UK fanbase toward Calipari. Wouldn't that be wild? A top recruit is considered a lock for a school for months, but in the end the behavior of internet fans changes his mind?
I guess we'll find out in a couple hours.
This is from an article today from ian
“
What do you like about North Carolina? How was the visit?
The family aspect with Coach (Hubert) Davis there, Coach (Jeff) Lebo there on the visit making me feel at home. Just being there, I didn’t feel uncomfortable. I felt like that’s where I should be, from what I thought.”
Maybe that was a unintentional slip???? That’s a pretty strong comment from him

I just got a text saying we might get a surprise. Possible? Guess we'll know soon enuff...
Lots of positive smoke for UNC coming from the uk insiders. Hard to say right now but looking better for UNC than any any other time.
He just put in a very poor showing against this years #2 pick, Justin Edwards(already going to UK and possibly position competition). That may actually help Huberts cause. Ian Jackson is not a one and done player. He looked like the number 3 player on his own team. Maybe timing has helped Carolina.
Well he said the school he picked will allow him to play his game and be one and done.. I hope I am wrong, but that seems UK to me
uk has been the default pick for awhile now --- and I'll still expect it --- optimistic texts notwithstanding, but hey. sometimes those pan out

I hope so my man!
I have felt good about this for a few months, but not based on any info.
