Just hearing that he is flipping UNC to USCe and reclassifying to 2022. Didn’t see it posted on here. Have y’all heard this was happening?
New or Old News - GG Jackson Flipping to South Carolina?
- Thread starter bmbritt
- Start date
So the one guy who might have left early for them now won't.
I still suspect someone from this year's Cheater team will suddenly decide to take up rowing and leave the team so that miraculously a scholarship becomes available. It's the Carolina Way.
Bunch of crystal balls have dropped on TOS and ON3 has it at 90% that he’s going to USCe. I’ve got friends that are pretty big boosters there and they said it’s basically done. His family is really pushing for him to go to USCe, but if UNC magically has a scholarship open up then who knows.
How good is this guy? Because Nance is pretty good, and a 5th year senior. So unless Jackson is Banchero level, I'd rather have Nance if I were them.
There was always chatter during his recruitment that he wanted to reclass. A lot of kids are going to take the quickest route to get to the league . He’s a modern era NBA pf. Sucks for Hubert but this is college basketball now a days.
The real rumor behind this is Hubert told GG he had to stay at least 3 years to be part of the Carolina family and GG wants to be in the nba asap. Ask any heels fan, they never wanted GG anyways 😉
LGD, Yep you nailed the typical tar hole fan response."We didn't want him anyway." I am sure you are CORRECT about what "Cackles" told Jackson!!

Would he have to enroll in the difficult AFAM courses?
Hubert Davis went ballistic a couple of weeks ago saying that he would never take another early enrollee. He said that he was thrilled to have will Shaver on the team, but wished that he had not enrolled early
I was shocked by Davis' vehement comments. I figured that it was related to Jackson.
Jackson was rated #34 a year ago. He's now rated #1. Hubert Davis visited Jackson during the NCAA tournament. Jackson said that Duke was in his top 3, but was disappointed that Duke had not called during the tournament. Perhaps Duke thought something was fishy . I have no idea
Apparently Jackson completely dominated his recent events against high school stars. In the clips I've seen, he gets pushed andmoved pretty easily like he's hollow. The same thing used to happen to Blake Griffin. He was pretty terrific . Probably why they jump so high. They don't weigh much.
Anyway, a tremendous prospect for South Carolina. I'm sure that Hubert Davis is disappointed, but he was only "committed " for a couple of months. There's plenty of time to land replacements
Regardless of how hole fans want to spin it, this would be a blow to their program. It won't hurt them this year but they need pros that the young guys look up to for their recruiting to really return to what was in the past,
They just made the championship game and are preseason number one with 4 starters back. I hate them but right now they seem to be doing okay.
It’s not a blow to the unc program…
It takes a really good player off of the team for one season but there will be another 4 or 5 star to play.

All I've heard for the past week is GG is gone. That would be a big blow, because he looks like the real deal. GTHC!
GG wasn't coming until 23 class and those four starters will more than likely be gone, with maybe the exception of their smaller guard. Make no mistake- losing the #1 overall kid is a big blow. I know he will reclass, but UNC has no more scholarships for this year.
Not to the program it’s not.
To a team? Yes? The program is far greater than the team and it’s not a big blow to the program.

The way I look at it, the Cheaters had the #1 player in his class signed to play for them, and now they don't. No way you can spin that as anything other than a loss. That's good enough for me.
As I said, the hole program needs NBA stars to be at its most formidable. MJ is old history to the young guys. If Zion remains healthy, he will become a superstar, helping Duke for many years to come. GG might become an NBA star, that is how his decision hurts them the most. I understand that they will be good this year regardless of GG going elsewhere. It's the big picture that I am talking about.
It was reported that Jackson was leaning toward South Carolina until Coach Frank Martin was fired. Frank Martin scares me and I worry about any person who has a close relationship with him ( i hear that he's actually a nice guy, but he looks scary and a bit crazy)
I also don't understand why South Carolina fired the coach who was in position to sign the #1 recruit. South Carolina was decent last year, a 17-12 record

I also find it difficult to believe that Jackson has all of the necessary requirements for University acceptance: SAT score, 4 high school English classes, 2 foreign language, 4 math, etc. He's only 17. He is in the proper grade. He spends every summer and weekend at tournaments.
I think that "SUPER STRICT" UNC admissions board would have found a way to slide Jackson under the door.... OFC
I'm sure as well. I never understood why he committed so early. Why commit to UNC and play a senior high school season in SC. His high school wins the state title every other year even before he was on the team.
So he is not going to walk on their team like they were saying? May the basketball gods forgive me, I have to go see how they are spinning this on IC. I love a good meltdown on IC or RR.
Ok. It was very nice. Evidently, GG is a very bad person, and the hole program dodged a bullet.
Of course you know, they didn’t really want him anyway. He wasn’t a “Carolina” guy,
I think that he made a good final decision. He can play 10 minutes from home this year. He should get plenty of money from boosters. He will get plenty of playing time. Should not have committed so early but he probably learned something in the process
It’s a really big hit from a perception basis. Shows that UNC still hasn’t figured out how to recruit top 5 recruits who are one and done. The only guy that they’ve landed in over 10 years is Cole Anthony. The last top two recruit that they actually had have an effect on their team was Harrison Barnes.
I kinda wish that I had the mentality of a troll. It would be so fun to bait them right now when they are already triggered. I just can't bring myself to do it but y'all know if this had happened to Duke, a can of Raid would be needed on the Duke boards.
