The AAU basketball circuit continued this past weekend with three events in three different cities and the North Carolina Tar Heels’ were back on the road to watch prospects again.
Among the players that had a standout day on Saturday was five-star Tar Heels commit Ian Jackson. Playing on the adidas circuit, Jackson continued his hot play on Saturday in Bryan, Texas, and caught the eye of On3’s Joe Tipton.
The writer noted Jackson in his article on standouts for Saturday’s event, giving the shooting guard some praise. Here is what Tipton said about Jackson:
Ian Jackson has been widely regarded as one of the top guards in the 2024 class for quite some time now. At 6-foot-5, he has great positional size and excellent athleticism. His defensive ability is what stood out Saturday, however, I was also impressed how he got his teammates involved. Jackson, a North Carolina commit, is also a good teammate — an underrated trait.
Jackson is a top 10 player in the 2024 class and one of three five-star recruits committed to UNC in that cycle. The Tar Heels class is ranked No. 1 as it stands right now and if they continue to elevate their games or land another prospect, it should finish as the top class.
Let’s hope Jackson continues to impress and gets even better in the year before he arrives in Chapel Hill.
