[DaDirtyLeb69]

Cats or heels on this one

 

[mcwildcats04]

Was our big UT win perfect timing? We shall see.

I hope so

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Seems like he was a UK lock but now people think we may not get him.

I would have liked to sign him and have him reclassify and pit together a team next year that can really be good.

Unlikely you can get them all. Ideally you sub him for Dillingham in the class.

 

[Allcats08]

Haven’t seen anything to make me think we’re not gonna get him

 

[RoyKent]

UNC fans very confident he is headed there. Hope not. Reclass to 2023 and let’s go!!

 

[EliteBlue]

If he reclasses and comes in with next years class it’s going to be really hard to not get excited. Even if only half of the incomers live up to the hype…that’s still more talent than we’ve had

Why does it have to be a "reclass" for him to pick UK?

Can he not just be our first commit for 24? That would be an indication that Cal is going nowhere.

 

[true-blue1]

I love his game, kid is a big time prospect.

Where the heck did I say he has to reclass for UK to get him?

lol

 

[richbrookstomato]

We have enough for 23, I want him for 24. I thought you were saying that would be the only way he would come here, otherwise it was UNC.

Just misunderstood what your point was.

No we want him for 2023. You keep adding talent and hope they win it all.

 

[MbergCat]

I might be misunderstanding you, but Dillingham can be an absolute superstar. If there is one player in next year's class that I want to show up on campus, it's him.

 

[slushpump]

Headed to UNC? If so, no damn wonder with all the negativity toward our program and Cal. What might have been?

 

[SaltyCat22]

Keep him in ‘24 and build around him. Wish Sharpe would have stayed in ‘22. At least if he went to the draft instead he wouldn’t have taken up room in the bench.

 

[bigblue1971]

Would love to see him at UK in 23 or 24. He's seems be the type of player who would be ok if he comes off the bench next season if he reclassed. He didn't start in some of the all star games I've seen him play in on tv but was one of the best players on the floor. He wouldn't be a normal reclass. He's an incredible talent.

 

[qwesley]

I might be misunderstanding you, but Dillingham can be an absolute superstar. If there is one player in next year's class that I want to show up on campus, it's him.

Could be but also very thin and will have to be reigned in somewhat. I like him but Jackson does everything and is highly competitive. Can't go wrong either way.

Next years team is already good

That may be why he goes to UNC, wants to re-class and be the guy

 

[HeelVol]

I'm not confident as a Tar Heel fan. But Ian just said he is staying in 2024.

 

[SaltyCat22]

It’s a LOCK he is not committing to Kentucky. Just spoke to SacramentoKat, he 100% agrees with me.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

If calipari is the coach I want a great team.

 

[Indymycats]

1 of 2 things:
if he commits to UK confirmation Cal is back next year
if he goes elsewhere Cal gets to blame BBN for all the recent negativity and the impact on recruiting.

2-3 months ago Jackson was a STRONG UK lean

Point 2, yes. He absolutely will.

Point 1, I'm not sure it means anything other than a commitment to Cal. You're making a spurious correlation on that one.

 

[westerncat]

I hope he stays in the 24 class. i really don't care for the reclass. Some are just to young and not mature enough. JMO

He won't be at UK then because calipari won't be here.

I really can't see that game having any bearing on this announcement as to where he goes lol.

 

[Indymycats]

Those are fancy words but in my humble opinion given the timing if it is UK this is clearly confirmation Cal isn’t going anywhere. Not Cal pumping, just reading the clear Cal tea leaves.

 

[westerncat]

We will see. I am not buying all the talk to Texas stuff.

Oh, well if you say so [eyeroll]

 

[Kybluedude]

What does UK ortho say?

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Yes! That is great news then

 

[senonesy]

UK bound then!

 

[Crawfords Corner]

The last UK player from the Bronx..... Jamal Mashburn. I think he was decent

I can certainly see why you'd think that. I'm just saying, for me, I'm not reading anything else into it. These kids commit to coaches these days and not schools. I can also see why Cal would set up this announcement at this time if he truly does leave. Lots of angles.

 

[CarolinaCatsFan]

@ralphdaltonfan @TheAnonymous13 You heard anything?

 

[macaca]

It was just announced yesterday Jackson is playing a tournament in Kentucky in February. It seems too obvious that means he’s coming to UK but we’ll soon find out.

 

[tmuck]

Weird that he only has two crystal ball picks total between rivals and 24/7. Both are to UK, but his camp must be keeping this recruitment really close to the vest.
