Frank Jackson
I think we still have a shot at him because of what he says about Rose here and because he seems so committed to going on a mission, which helps us more than the others. Also, the mission probably gives us actually two chances to get him, if you think about it. This is also what I want to believe, so there you go. Seems liike a great kid either way.

I really don't know much about him, but I was surprised he wanted to go on a mission. Mormon kids of his basketball caliber typically don't go on missions. Good for him.

Stanford's coach is on the hot seat and may not even be there by the time Jackson comes back from his mission. I believe the rumors are that they started high on his list when he first decommitted but they fell back down with the disappointing year they had. I tend to doubt he ends up there. Stanford is a good school but the basketball reasons for going there right now are not very strong.

If he sees himself as a one and done, there is no reason to go to BYU. If he sees himself staying in college for two to four years, maybe BYU has a better chance.
A lot of talk for a kid I have never seen play. I wouldn't worry about it, cause kids like this typically don't sign with BYU. |

Frank Jackson, this, FJ that. So boring. That's why I don't pay attention to recruiting. It almost always end up in disappointment.

And really, once any player gets ranked in the top 20 of their class almost no team outside of the exclusive club of Kentucky, Duke, UNC and a couple of others really have a realistic shot anyway. We're still doing pretty well over the last 2-3 years with top 100 LDS guys ranked #30 on down. The thing there is that except for one year of Eric Mika, none of those guys have played yet. I suppose you can talk about Jordan Loveridge, and it's likely very un-PC of me, but one look at his supersized tattoos on his arms makes me think he probably wasn't exactly looking for immersing himself in the BYU culture. That's not in any way to judge his character or morality. I don't really care. It's just an observation and a strong clue, IMO, that he probably doesn't consider BYU to be his ideal scene. He grew up in Utah and knows the culture and where he would likely feel most comfortable. And then his teammate Chapman wasn't LDS. Both guys we tried hard for, but in the end they probably are happier at the U, and that's ok. Ultimately Payton Dastrup changed his mind and signed with BYU for the same reason. He went with where he felt he'd be happy. Last edited by BlueK; 06-10-2015 at 08:48 PM. |

I hate to feel this way, but I'm getting annoyed by the whole Frank Jackson circus his parents, and I think probably mostly his dad, are creating. Twitter makes this kind of thing even more obvious. College coaching these days and having to deal with recruiting and egos is a tough gig.
