(2017) PF Jaren Jackson Jr. to Michigan St.

[AKHoosier 6,608]

It would be awesome if we have more of a chance than we realize.  

Getting him on campus would be a big factor I bet, I'd sure like to see him in AH for Hoosier Hysteria.

If he doesn't decide until spring and we have a really good year, Thomas Bryant dominates and Davis looks promising, then you never know, maybe we're a more likely destination for him than we thought.

I still don't think we get Jackson but he could fulfill a need.

He would be a big priority if I were picking but too many behind the scene factors to really know. We didn't seem to prioritize him in July.

I think this is such a big factor. If we have a great year and Davis looks ready to take the reigns we will have a better chance with all the remaining Indiana recruits. 

Key is just staying in the mix.

Seems biancardi and the 247 people have different opinions on recruits

[hoosierpap 14,300]

Fwiw, I wasn't saying he goes to IU. I don't think that happens either.

Didn't make his top 5. Decision will be tomorrow

MARYLAND, Please!!!

Would mean:

• Purdue
• Billy Preston to Maryland (one of his final five)

 

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,049]

Purdue somehow seems to have a legit chance. Always thought Maryland.

It should be interesting and telling. Maryland has been in the drivers seat for awhile but pu has made a push.

If he goes to pu does that signal Swan is leaving early? I can't see Jackson willing to go and play a backup role at pu.

Maryland lost a lot after last season with Stone and Carter leaving early and Lehman graduating. My bet is Maryland.

[Stuhoo 76,291]

My bet is PeeeeYeww

[HoosierAloha 29,978]

My bet is PeeeeYeww

Did he ever take an OV to pu?

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,049]

Recent CB action has been Purdue. Swanigan is gone this year no matter what. Surprised he returned this year and so was Dakich, lol.

All Purdue players followed him on Twitter today.

Purdue 1
Indiana 0

For now

Well that sucks, there's been almost a complete 180 on his crystal ball in the last 2 hours to heavily favoring PU now.

He'll probably end up there which is weird because of the rumors he wanted to be out east, and also Swanigan doesn't even like it there much.  Lots of smoke Caleb wanted out this past year.

Not too concerned. I'm oddly confident we get both Waters and Wilkes. Add a longshot in Preston and no one will care where Jackson went

[Markb 14]

Interesting that Preston has been totally under the radar

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,049]

Jackson was one of my faves in the class due to potential. Unique skillset and size. No player we are recruiting compares except Preston, and Bamba a little. I knew we wouldn't get JJ but I will be upset if we don't get a good big guy. Wilkes is a 3 with 4 potential. JJ is a 4 with 5 potential.

We went hard after Malik Williams but not JJ. Interest must not have been reciprocated.

This is why I don't take ESPN recruiting seriously. Wasn't too long ago they said we were a finalist for sure.

There's so much in this that I like. Outside of a few players (true pg, big, and maybe a pure shooter) we need versatile players.

We need bigger CGs who can handle, shoot, and defend both quicker guards with length and wings.

Our wings need to rip and run, shoot, and defend bigger stretch 4s. Our post players need to defend stretch fours and traditional post players

I think we're heading in that direction with most of our players but would like to continue that with the 2017 recruiting class.

[HoosierAloha 29,978]

CB is saying 89% MSU and 11% pu...  I figured with the East coast and UA connection he would be headed to Maryland.  This should be interesting.
