While it’s been rumored that the race for five-star power forward G.G. Jackson is coming to an end soon, two programs are making a final effort in trying to pull off a surprising commitment.
Louisville and Oregon are the latest teams to enter the race for Jackson per a report. Stockrisers Jake Weingarten is reporting that Oregon has offered Jackson and now Louisville is also getting involved by showing interest in the recruit.
Former Duke assistant, Nolan Smith, is leading the way in Louisville’s pursuit of Jackson as he watched him at an AAU event last weekend down in Orlando. Smith also helped recruit Jackson while he was at Duke:
Louisville and Oregon are the latest schools to enter the mix with five-star junior and arguably the nation’s top-rated prospect, GG Jackson, sources told @Stockrisers. Nolan Smith watched him this weekend, Oregon just offered.
Duke, UNC, UMass, G-League, among his choices.

Now, UNC fans shouldn’t really be worried that much. All indications are that the Tar Heels still lead the way in this recruitment and that doesn’t seem to be slowing down either. It does feel like it’s only a matter of time before he makes his decision.
