Interesting. Saw his team play once this year vs La Verne Lutheran. Lutheran totally handled La Salle (Jackson's team) and this is a down year for Lutheran; they lost Grant Jarrett to UAz, starting PG (Brian Beard) transferred to Orange Lutheran, their coach (Eric Cooper) moved to St Anthony's of Long Beach and the ex-coach's son as well (2014 or 2013? Eric Jr., another UAz commit).
Jackson made several nice moves to the basket (when his guards could get him the ball), but Lutheran's interior players (especially Class of 2014 F Joe Rushing) dominated La Salle's interior. He showed good, but not great athleticism, but he is young, only a Frosh. Rushing, OTOH, is very very strong and very active (...but probably not tall enough for high D1), and a difficult assignment for a frosh to guard . Jackson looked like a very good HS player (...and is only a freshman). I've seen him listed as a guard, but he is definitely a forward...not a guard. He could be a great find if he grows and develops. Definitely not at Stanley Johnson's level (even when Stanley was a Frosh), but the more I think about it...I like it...
