The month of March was a busy one for the UNC basketball program, going on their run to the national title game as an 8 seed. That extended into April with the Final Four.
But little did we know that a visit before the Final Four to see five-star recruit [autotag]G.G. Jackson [/autotag]would be the one that sealed it for the Tar Heels.
C.L. Brown of the News & Observer talked to Jackson after his commitment and asked him about his recruitment. The recruit revealed that it was a meeting before the Final Four where he realized that he wanted to commit to the Tar Heels:
“I asked God for a couple of signs way back before the March Madness tournament started,” Jackson said. “One of the signs he gave me was, they kept showing me as their No. 1 priority. We want G.G. Jackson. That stood out with me a lot. Them coming down from the Final Four and watching practice that was huge for me.”
That meeting certainly helped reaffirm that UNC was really in pursuit of Jackson as their top target. And he understood that.
