I like this clip. There's a scramble for a loose ball and Jackson comes up with it. Look how quickly he gets rid of it.

Yeah, I can see he may have doubts about playing his game as a "wing" at Carolina. Im not sure what game that is after watching him last nite. Justin Edwards was clearly the more skilled player. Jackson looks to be athletic but no elite skills in the shooting/ball handling category(which is must for early one and done 6'5" wings).
Im just hoping him going head/head with Edwards opened his/family's eyes that getting to the court as a freshman is more likely at Carolina. He's not playing over Edwards.
From the reports that I have gathered, he will announce for the good guys. However, it ain't over till it's over, right?
Always glad when I’m wrong! Seems like a very articulate young man. GDTBATH
Gotta give hubs some serious recruiting props .. wtg Coach Davis.
Hubert has a natural calling card!! He is genuine and sells "family" big time.
Ian said it was "way different than any other visit he went on". Hubert showed his persistence, never gave up, and he convinced Ian/family to forego the "dream school" for a man/program that is so much more than basketball. This was a big time reversal and moment for Hubert.
He is clearly in one and done mode. Was very transparent with that intention in his recruitment. His "wing" is fully as a 2, if he develops outside of that it will be sparatic positions running a pick up top as a 1. He is hoping to develop his game like Anthony Edwards.
Well wattaya know? My guy was right again. I'll take it.
Tremendous recruiting coup by Hubert, no doubt. UK was his dream school. If he's one and done I will be totally stunned based on his current skill set. My money would be on a great 3 years in Carolina blue, and thats great.
I don't think I see anyone else posting that it would be UNC before I shared mine and had shared why over the couple days before this. I wasn't guessing, well not completely, had a little bit of heads up on a thing the staff knew as to how much Jack valued playing with Cadeau and Wilcher. Don't look for him to play the 2 for us he is going to be a 3 and will have to fight for PT, he knows this, he wants to be coached, he wants to improve his game, Ky was not going to give him that. A major theme that Hubert hit hard on when he was recruiting Jack was that of development, of UNC players improving over time, look at RJ was stated more than once. This kid knows there will be millions flying his way very soon, Antigua tried to buy him, wrong pitch, this kid wants to develop in to the best player his ability allows him, that is more important to him right now than NIL numbers.
Boogie is not going to happen for us if Cadeau does not reclass and my guess is that now Cadeau stays in 24 with Brown and Jack because the likelihood of Caleb and RJ leaving after this season shrinks every day.
Boogie isn't deciding until his senior year. By that time, any 2023 reclasses will have happened.
In the meantime, we need to get Jarin Stevenson.

Lebo doin' work
Stevenson is the last piece to the monster class. He fills a position of need and is a legacy recruit. Gotta land him and then the class is finished.
I don't think at this point UNC would be considered the program recruiting Stevenson the hardest, not that we have stopped but I think at this point he feels that he is not a priority for us and frankly, he is right.
At this point, we have High coming in next season and Brown in 24. Washington will be a soph when High gets here and a JR when Brown arrives. Looks like we will be very young in our front court other than Jalen, not really including Shaver on purpose. So would you rather we add another freshman or use that scholly in the portal and get a guy with more experience and a more developed body? I think I would prefer we take that shot in the portal than to add Stevenson, just my opinion. I would say I am done with the 24 class and start making relationships for the 25 class and shop the portal to fill in need spots, at least 1 more big man, with some thickness will be needed.
What are the chances Calipari is on the phone right now to the bank trying to secure some additional cash to lure our newest recruit?
Stevenson will not make a decision until the summer and UNC is the clear favorite. While we may not specifically need him, you never want to let a recruit of his caliber go elsewhere and allow another program to get their foot in the door so to speak.
I have seen him play on several occasions and he is a high Div 1 recruit, and a legacy recruit as well, his mother played on the Women's team at UNC and his Dad played baseball here I have been told. He also is a perfect fit and complement to the other 24 recruits. While the portal does have its place, this is not one of them.
kjcooper was all over this for a while. Don’t bust your arm patting yourself on the back.
You are 100% wrong about that. He is absolutely a priority for Hubert. He was the first 2024 recruit to receive a UNC offer. He's the only PF who has even received a scholarship offer in the class of 2024. Hubert has been at his school and at his AAU games every single recruiting period the NCAA allows. Thanks to his mom being a UNC women's bball player, and growing up nearby, he's been on campus too many times to count, including unofficial visits since his offer.
Brown is a college center. Washington is a college center. High is looking more and more like a college center. In fact the moment Brown committee, one of the best recruiting analysts in the business tweeted out that Stevenson and Brown are perfect compliments for each other as a face-up 4 and a traditional low post 5. These guys aren't in Stevenson's way. They are guarantees he will never have to use his skinny 6'11" frame to guard opposing centers.
He's taken an official visit to Georgetown, an unofficial to UVA, and has an official to Mizzou next week. He still has 3 more junior year OVs to use if he wants.
What schools are recruiting him harder than UNC? Most of the big time programs aren't even sending head coaches to his games bc they feel he's a UNC legacy who will eventually pick UNC.
So I would love to hear how you convinced yourself that "he feels he is not a priority for us." Psychic powers? Using the Force? How exactly did you convince yourself you know how a teenager you have no relationship with "feels" about something?
Dook boys Paul Biancardi and his meathead sidekick were happy. 😂
But hopefully we will have veteran leaders like Sr Dunn and Jr's Washington, Nickel and Trimble ans Sopf's Wilcher & High to lead the way as the Freshman stake their own claims to roles.
A good mixture is definitely what we want to see. Yet another reason I want Dunn and Nickel to get minutes now.
Dunn is starting to morph into the comps I thought his career could follow.
Shammond, Donald and Kenny Williams.
All had little to no court time as Freshman and then picked up a steady incline to terrific Carolina careers.
Nickel will be an assassin for a College team in the future, hope it is as a Tar Heel.
Plus possible 5th year guys RJ and Puff, senior Styles and junior Shaver. Not to mention unlikely 5th year guy Caleb.
5 RJ
3 Seth
1 Cadeau
5 Caleb
4 Dunn
2 Wilcher
1 Jackson
1 Powell
5 Puff
4 Styles
3 Nickel
2 High
1 Stevenson (not committed yet)
3 Washington
3 Shaver
1 Brown
The numbers are their class years. So RJ is a 5th year guy, Seth a junior, etc.
That's 16 guys - including Stevenson - assuming I haven't forgotten anyone.
Of course we don't expect Caleb to still be here and several others could be pros by then, too. And there are a few more who could transfer.
Seems clear we will have both room for and a probable need for Stevenson.
If everyone leaves who plausibly might go pro or transfer, we could be down to 8, again including Stevenson. And based on @DaveChapelle's assessment above, I expect he'll end up here.
We are stockpiling some serious talent and they are perfectly suited to play together! Brilliant recruiting and team building following the Roy template. Hubs is mixing the glue guys with the super skilled 5*!
