Gregory “GG” Jackson II signed with the South Carolina Gamecocks in 2022 as one of the highest high school recruits in history to land on campus. Jackson went to high school a stone’s throw away from the campus in Columbia at Ridge View High School just on the outskirts of the state capital. In 247 Sports’ final basketball recruit ranking, Jackson landed at 6th in the class, as well as finishing at the top of South Carolina’s all-time recruit listing.
Jackson arrived on campus as a 17-year-old after reclassifying and completing high school early, and as such he will enter the draft as one of the youngest players among all draft hopefuls.
