Ian Jackson, a former five-star recruit and North Carolina player, has committed to St. John's, marking a significant move in his collegiate career. The NYC native had an impressive season at UNC, averaging 11.9 points and notably scoring over 20 points in eight games early on. However, his role diminished by the end of the season, highlighting the need for growth in his game. At St. John's, Jackson will have the opportunity to refine his skills, particularly defensively, under the guidance of coach Rick Pitino, with three years of eligibility remaining.
Jackson's scoring prowess was highlighted by six games of 20 points or more in December and January, but he struggled with consistency later in the season.
St. John's commitment gives Jackson a chance to develop his game further under Pitino, addressing areas like defense and playmaking alongside his scoring.
