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.
