Analyst predicts South Carolina will flip top UNC commit

South Carolina picks up a prediction for UNC basketball commit GG Jackson amid all of the potential decommitment rumors flying around.

Let the [autotag]GG Jackson[/autotag] rumor season continue. Over the last week it has been nonstop chatter about the potential that Jackson will decommit from UNC and either reclassify to 2022 and enroll at South Carolina, or go the pro route.

Despite shutting down rumors earlier this week, the chatter continues and now South Carolina has picked up a prediction to flip Jackson from North Carolina.

According to On3.com recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw, the Gamecocks have a good shot at making that happen.

Jackson remains the No. 1 overall prospect on the almost every major recruiting site and has even raised his play since his commitment to UNC.  The talented forward has been a standout at multiple events, most recently named the MVP of the NBPA Top 100 Camp last week.

This is one to keep a close eye throughout the reminder of the summer. UNC currently holds two commitments in the class of 2023, Jackson and five-star point guard Simeon Wilcher.

The Tar Heels still have a hold on the No. 2 overall recruiting class in 2023 behind arch-rival Duke.
