Ian Jackson
- Thread starter UKFAN4L
- Start date
If he's visiting Georgia, then Pope has to swoop in here lol
How awesome would it be if Pope landed this guy? We would be able to give Indiana fans and Lamar Wilkerson a big laugh.
Georgia??? The same UGA that Mike White coaches???
Come on Pope, go get him.

I'm hearing Jackson is on Georgia campus right now and smoke that he has committed. Hope not.
Jackson is one of the few guys out there I could get excited about.
Most of the guys out there, like Eaglestaff, are backups on our team.
I kind of feel like Pope has assembled a great team, and now he is looking for the “cherry on top” player to give a little boost and if he can’t land that guy he will finish up by adding another backup or a guy to compete with Chandler, Williams, and Johnson for the starting spot opposite Oweh on the wing.
I would be fine going into next season with the 12 guys we already have.
I personally like the idea of Chandler, Williams, and Johnson fighting for the wing spot. I think it would benefit all three in the end. Let those three split the minutes on the wing and see how it plays out.
I do want to land a stud, like Jackson, but adding a guy like Eaglestaff, I’m not sure that really helps us much and might hurt in the long run as it will limit the minutes for Chandler, Williams, and Johnson.

Florida is a massive title outlier. Their coach totally went under the taser. UK isn’t going under any radars stacked roster or nit roster.
He’s visiting UGA but we can’t land him? Please
I agree, but the shots and PT would be there at UGA, so if he’s another Wilkerson, they may be a better fit for him.
The concession of being the lone good player on Georgia probably feeds into his visit
Edit-just seen they added Catchings, so being one of two good players on Georgia*
We have to feel pretty good about outbidding UGA.
How can they afford to spend much money, I would think most of their NIL money is being spent on the football team?
The average UGA fan would likely revolt if they spent 2M on a basketball player when that money could be spent on a football player. LOL!

Jackson is ranked ahead of them on the two services that does rankings
Luis is a sf
UK has paid close to 8 million in Nil for this next year and top 3 on the list, and that was with Pope trying to be economical.
Can't remember the ranking I looked at. They have the 10 top portal players at each position that is still available.
If he isn’t coming here, I hope it’s St John’s. Do not want him in the SEC!
That's way too much money for Wilkerson. He played at same Houston st
Pope has put together a top 10 team already.
Jackson would put us top 5, and maybe the favorite.

So UK passed on buying the 4Runner, now you expect them to buy the G-Wagon?
Make it make sense!😭

You don't KNOW any of what you just said is true. Pure speculation based on rumors and so called common sense. You are qualified to be an "insider" now.
Yup prolly gonna be someone after portal closes….grad transfer or nba draft dropout
Every single person who owns a g-wagon, could have bought a 4 runner, but passed on it.
I must have missed the interview where Pope said all of this...Oh wait, he didn't! You made it all up.
Just read that the three shooters that Pope should try and get now are 1) Cade Tyson, said not to look at his numbers from last season, that he shot three's at a very high clip, 47%?, at Belmont and only played 7 minutes a game at NC. 2) Marcus Banks that shot about 42% from three at 8 attempts per game. Said that was really good and also shot a high percentage of his two's and averaged almost 17 a game.
3) Treyson Eaglestaff, said that his shot selection at UK would be much better and he wouldn't have to carry the team but is a proven shooter.

What is the exact dollar amount “we” can afford? Can you provide the precise amount?
No, they passed on a 4Runner that demanded he be a Porsche.
Now this would put us directly into title contention!
Exactly. He may be wanting to go to a place where he is "the man". 32-35mpg, 15-18 shots/gm.
I'd rather have the 4 runner..
I don't think anyone had him possibly committing to Georgia.
Football money is never easy to beat out. Besides JQ, we haven’t had a good track record against Football schools for recruits lately. Hope I’m wrong
Many may not have heard of Markus Banks, JR. He is a 6-3 195 guard that shot 42.5 from three, about 85 from the line and about 2 assists a game. Have not saw his video's but his numbers are good. He is from Virginia so not far from his hometown.
