Recent speculation had consistently suggested Jackson would choose the Jayhawks for what is almost certainly just one year in college, but the Wildcats remained in Jackson’s top three largely because of his relationship with UA coach Sean Miller.
Jackson began developing a particularly close relationship with Miller last summer, when Miller coached Jackson and the rest of USA Basketball’s U19 team to the gold medal in the FIBA U19 World Championships.
