When Justin Jackson arrived on campus at Maryland in the summer of 2016, Maryland Terrapins fans were rightly excited.
Justin Jackson was a four-star recruit with NBA prospects already who would add a wing attacker to the recently returning Melo Trimble. The promise for Maryland to compete and win the Big Ten were very real with this young group of players was very real. Jackson’s outside shooting and size as a wing would be the perfect complement to Trimble’s speed and shiftiness at guard.
As things would turn out at Maryland for Jackson, things did not quite work out that way.
