Duke Recruiting: Kara Lawson Wins Over Another Promising Player

One of the complete unknowns about hiring Kara Lawson, who had never coached college basketball, was how well she might recruit.

Well check that one off: Lawson is doing just fine as a recruiter, thank you very much.

Her latest commitment is from 5-10 Texan Ashlon Jackson. Pegged as a Top 25 recruit, Jackson is in the class of 2022, barring a reclassification, and will join 6-3 Shay Bollin of Bridgewater, Mass., and 5-10 Canadian Emma Koabel.

And for next year, Lawson has commitments from 5-11 Lee Volker from Purcellville, Virginia, and Louisville transfer Nyah Green who, like Jackson, is from Texas, in her case Allen.
