National basketball recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw of On3, citing multiple sources “close to the situation,” reported Sunday that 2023 6-9 standout GG Jackson of Ridge View, who committed to North Carolina in April, will graduate early and end up at USC, Oregon or in the G-League. Shaw suggested in his story Jackson will spend a year at USC before going into the 2023 NBA Draft. Shaw reported North Carolina is out of scholarships for the 2022 class thus forcing Jackson to go in another direction. Jackson last week was named the MVP of the Top 100 Camp.
Jackson’s father is a preacher, and Sunday night we reached out Greg Jackson for a response to the report. He responded with a message containing a Bible verse:
USC target LB Jaden Robinson was offered by Florida.

In what was no surprise at all Saturday, Dorman OT DJ Geth announced a commitment to North Carolina over USC. Geth took official visits to both, and while he spoke highly of the Gamecocks, they were not able to overcome the legacy status of Geth with the Tar Heels.

Which USC for GG Jackson? Carolina or Southern Cal….I would’ve assumed Carolina, except that the other team mentioned was a PAC-12 school
On this site, as it should be for every site that covers South Carolina, USC refers to the Gamecocks. Always has, always will. Southern Cal is the school on the West Coast.
Amen to this
