Trying To Remember a Former Recruit Target
-
A guard from Oklahoma, could really ball and loved KU but just couldn’t get the grades. His name is eluding me right now and it’s driving me nuts. This was recent-ish like within the last 10 years for sure.

Nino Jackson! I remembered. Case closed.

@BShark sleep well

@BShark He went to Loyola Marymount in fall 2013 and played 4 games. 41 total minutes, 11 total points. Found an article from LMU from the year after he was there saying they did not expect that in 2013 “highly reputed Nino Jackson would fizzle, get injured and flame out.”
I found an article showing him as a soph transfer at San Bernadino College (a JUCO) in 2015-16, the year after they won the Foothill Conf title.
Nite!

@mayjay Yeah sadly he had an Anrio type career. Didn’t know about the injury. There is an alternate universe where he is a Jayhawk for sure. He had a lot of talent so the injury as the reason he did not succeed makes sense.

@BShark FWIW, I found his stats at San Barnardino:
Looks like he did okay when he did play but not great. I just hope he took some advantage of the education. Maybe he got cut short by another injury.
