Ian Jackson is no stranger to the bright lights. He’s been destined for stardom since his high school days in New York City and the spotlight under him only grew after committing to North Carolina and being named as a McDonald’s All-American.

Now, he faces a challenge that he hasn’t experienced before. A return home to play for Rick Pitino and St. John’s with the chance to show the rest of the country why he has been so highly regarded throughout his young career.

However, in order to fit in Pitino’s system Jackson will likely have to undergo a position change during his first season with the Red Storm – playing more point guard than he did with the Tar Heels last season.
