Why No. 2 recruit Ian Jackson picked UNC over Kentucky: ‘They’ll stick with you’
New York TimesIan Jackson did such a good job keeping his college decision a secret that even his coach at Cardinal Hayes, Joe Lods, had no idea which program the No. All Lods could say with confidence beforehand was that it would be Kentucky, North Carolina or Arkansas — Oregon and LSU were also finalists — and that those three had all made persuasive pitches centered around Jackson’s desire to be a one-and-done NBA Draft pick. “He came back and he’s like, I don’t know which one of these guys really has it.” It’s understandable that all three would pitch their NBA ties, given the reality of Jackson’s situation. The decision he’s making, you have to go where you feel comfortable and you can make mistakes and they’ll stick with you.” SG Ian Jackson — the No. In committing to the Tar Heels, though, Jackson becomes UNC’s highest-rated guard commit since Cole Anthony, and Davis’ top-ranked backcourt commit thus far as head coach.
