OT: Questions regarding Josh Jackson

[DutchDevil]

When I look at the class of 2016 I see three sure-fire guys that will dominate college basketball and would make an immediate jump to the NBA straight out of high school if it was allowed--Giles, Tatum, and Jackson. I think Jackson is an incredible player that will be a far superior talent in college next year. He lists Duke in his long list of finalists, but I don't see that Duke ever offered. What is it about Jackson that has kept Duke from pursuing him, and where do you guys think he will end up? Thanks for any insight you guys may have.

I heard through other sites that he was considered to be going most likely to play overseas, but the rumor is now he may be now re-evaluating his options stateside after learning from the Mudiay family about Emmanuel's experience in China being somewhat culturally challenging.

Thanks for the information. I was curious if it was grades, a handler, personality, etc. There is no question he is a supreme talent.

Most likely to end up at MSU with his buddies Winston and Bridges.

That would be scary, Izzo with another top 3 class isn't fair.

Jackson will end up at an Adidas school imo.

I think there's Jackson, then not too far off is Giles. I wouldn't put Tatum up there with those 2 in terms of immediate impact. Jackson is like a tall pre-injury Dennis Smith.
