Duke lands yet another elite recruit in five-star point guard Frank Jackson - SI.com
While at the camp, Jackson said he listened to other players discuss their recruitments with brand-name programs like Duke and North Carolina . “I was kinda sitting back like, ‘I can compete with all these kids. ’” Jackson told SI. com. Following a strong junior season with Lone Peak—which included a school-record 54-point game in Las Vegas—Jackson starred with his grassroots team, the Utah Prospects, on the Adidas Uprising Gauntlet this spring and summer. In 10 games prior to the summer championships, he averaged 24 points and 2. 7 assists while shooting 38. 8% from three-point range and posting a 25. 6 Player Efficiency Rating. Jackson received a scholarship offer from Duke while on an unofficial visit to the school’s Durham, N. C. , campus after the camp in June. He took an official visit to Stanford in July and canceled an official visit to Arizona before seeing Duke again last weekend. Though he told SI. com in May that it’s “something I’ve always wanted to do,” Jackson indicated on Tuesday that he will suit up for the Blue Devils next fall. The 6’3”, 180-pound Jackson is often described as a “combo guard,” but he could play point guard in college and the NBA. “Most of the time I use him as a scoring point guard who can create for others or break down the defense,” said Tim Davis, the head coach of the Utah Prospects.
