SF Vance Jackson (Signed LOI on 11/11)

Two kids who got in some of the biggest trouble were from very good families (AJP and MW). Doug Wiggins wasn't some big trouble maker coming out.

It's pretty damn hard to predict.

And some kids who left because of not having the ability (darius smith et al). They couldn't keep up. No surprise they struggled in the class room too.

@VanceJackson1: ShoutOut to the NCAA champs for taking time out and showing your boy some love http://post original url/mCoRFkby4Y

Okay... who can read Chinese?

Saw him at the Hoophall Classic playing with DHam last year. Love this kid's game.

Vance Jackson sounds like a fake name. In a good way.

 

[Matrim55]

Described as a "true stretch 4."

And yes, now I'm picturing a lineup with 5 shooters out there:

C: Enoch
PF: Jackson
SF: Hamilton
SG: Mack
PG: Cassell

 

[kansashusky]

Huge want for 2016. Kid is a stud!

 

[intlzncster]

Like the kid's handle: Vanimal

 

[The Smart One]

i hope he comes to uconn hes one of my 23 followers. I saw him sport a husky face looking tshirt on twitter a while back.

 

[BearJWS]

He's what, 6'8"+ these days? Looks taller than I was expecting. Scary when you notice recruits growing in front of you. I'm having a tough time following 2016-2018 recruits. Most of them are years away from reaching their full height & skill level. Wow, I guess that's recruiting today.

 

[upstater]

OK, we'll take VJ King and Vance Jackson since they so badly want to come to UConn. Least we could do for these two kids.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Kids a monster, would be huge get. Played with Hamilton in highschool

I love bouncy! (avatar lol)

 

[uconnforlife]

Looks a little like Cam Newton

 

[UconnU]

Perfect PF in our system....(not sure he would want to play their though).

Jackson is probably less of an athlete than DeAndre is, highly skilled and a great shooter that I would love to have, but an athlete he is not.

Athletic enough to probably play high level MCBB though

of course, every program in the Pac 12 wants him, just noting that he's not exactly bouncy or a great athlete. its more about the skill level with him.

 

[James]

people can get bouncy once put in the right training system. see russell westbrook at ucla. completely transformed from hs. jackson has a great frame., thats the point i waas leaning towards.

Not sure where you're getting that from but it's not true at all. Westbrook was bouncy as ____ at Leuzinger. The biggest transformation he went through is going from a 5-10 junior to a 6-3 senior, but he was always a crazy athlete.

i heard differently, could have mistaken growth spurt for gaining athleticism, seeing as i have no cali ties. but in regards to jackson he is tall and can shoot threes. i like those kinds of players, and isn't a stiff

Little known story - Westbrook was a very athletic 5'10" junior who was wasting his life before Chief had a few words with him and convinced him to grow a half-a-foot over the summer.

You can't teach height, but Chief can.
