Ian Jackson, the top-ranked guard in the transfer portal, has committed to St. John's after departing from the North Carolina Tar Heels. Despite being projected as a second-round NBA draft pick, Jackson chose to remain in college, seeking more opportunity on the court. His decision follows a mixed reaction from fans regarding his departure from UNC, where some felt he wasn't utilized effectively. Analysts believe Jackson, a five-star prospect, will thrive under coach Rick Pitino's guidance at St. John's, where he has three years of eligibility remaining.
"He's a big-time scorer and a terrific athlete," said Terrence Oglesby. "Ian is a much better shooter than he got credit for this past year and is at his best when his foot is on the gas on both sides of the ball."
Fans have shown mixed reactions to Jackson's transfer, with some blaming Tar Heels coach Hubert Davis for not utilizing him well last season as the reason for his departure.
