College basketball fans finally received a first glimpse as to what to expect from the freshman class for next season in the McDonald’s All-American game in Chicago on Wednesday night. The top uncommitted prospect, No. 2 small forward and the No. 3 prospect in the country, Josh Jackson, stole the show, earning co-MVP honors with 19 points and three rebounds.
Programs across the country were foaming at the mouth and menacingly rubbing their hands imagining the athleticism and offensive game that Jackson could bring to the table.
He has cut his list to three schools—UA, Kansas and Michigan State—so the battle between college basketball’s blue-blood coaches is in full effect.
