It appears as if the smoke behind the [autotag]G.G. Jackson[/autotag] rumors has turned into fire for the UNC basketball program.
Just last week, On3’s Jamie Shaw reported that Jackson could flip his commitment from North Carolina to South Carolina despite the recruit saying it was nothing but rumors. But since then, it appears as if this rumor is about to come true at least to a few recruiting experts.
In the past week, there have been five predictions for Jackson to flip from the Gamecocks to the Tar Heels on 247Sports. The first four came from Duke and South Carolina insiders and now, it’s national recruiting analyst Travis Branham flipping his prediction.
Branham put in a prediction for Jackson to join South Carolina, flipping from UNC.
Now, this isn’t a guarantee it will happen BUT it does seem likely now with all of the rumors floating around. That’s bad news for UNC as Jackson is ranked No. 1 overall in the 2022 class and is the Tar Heels’ prized recruit.
It appears to be only a matter of time before it happens..
