Jackson showed up and put over the club season, and is simply taking things to another level. After catching her at the TABC Showcase, a year after initially seeing her at the Who’s NXT event, her status is shooting up as several D1 offers are on the table see evaluations here

Jackson is a mean machine; she plays extremely aggressively and with quick pace. Already holding a University of Houston offer, she will be one of the most sought-after prospects in the country by the time she’s an upperclassman. A swill army knife type prospect who can do it all on both ends of the floor. Jackson impressed me with her ability to guard all 5 positions, scoring ability, and supreme athleticism. Another prospect for college coaches to get involved with, as her stock will spike.

Jackson has so much upside that it’s no telling where she’ll land, yet one thing is for certain: she has “next-level D1 offers” on the table, and I understand when. She overly impressed me a year ago, and when I saw her “come from out of nowhere” to block shots, that JUST DID IT for me.

Jackson was yet another “long and athletic” guard with some scary upside because she stands around “the magic number” and does a good job attacking from wherever she wants and finishing after contact. Her jumper looked good, so did her defense.

Jackson has a couple of things that will bring next-level attention immediately and one is she stands at “the magic number” which is 6’0 and she’s also “long and athletic” which is the base. I mentioned her UPS as being one of her intangibles when I wrote about her see evaluation here yet her multiple ways to finish are ahead of her years.

Jackson is “long and athletic” which will always be the base and is listed at “the magic number” yet when you add UPS to the intangibles, that’s when the magic starts because she comes from out of nowhere to rebound and block shots, her explosiveness off the dribble coupled with acrobatic finishes make her a “highlight waiting to happen”yet she gave me the “hands and footwork” to score in the paint and whatever was thrown her way, she caught, so her HANDS …
