One of the best high school basketball players in the entire 2024 cycle is set to make his decision on Monday.
Shooting guard [autotag]Ian Jackson[/autotag] — a product of Cardinal Hayes in the Bronx — is a consensus five-star prospect and is rated as the No. 2 player in the country in both the 247Sports Composite and On3 Consensus Rankings. The Tigers are one of five schools that received an official visit from the premier player with the others being Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon and Arkansas.
Kentucky is expected to land his commitment. The Wildcats hold a 93.3% chance of getting him on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, and he holds a Crystal Ball prediction for UK as well from back in December.
Landing a pledge from Jackson would be a pretty big surprise for LSU, but it would also be a massive addition for coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] if he can pull of something of a coup here.
