D'Angelo Jackson commits to CU

[CreightonRx]

6'0 pg from Milwaukee. Senior in HS, 18ppg (23 prior to ankle injury, 10 after), 3.3 apg, 2.4 spg, 1.8 TOpg.

Should be a very solid guard. Depending on Dotzler's health he could play next year, I could also seeing him redshirting due to our guard depth if Dotzler is fully healthy. You have to love how our league is really stepping it up in recruiting this year.

It's unclear how this fits into our scholarship situation. Is Bahe a walkon? who's all coming back/who's leaving? does this mean we're not going to sign Morrison?

Although rumored to have verballed (by several sources) Morrison can't sign a LOI b/c of his situation after recieving a release after already signing one. Unfortunately he's taking trips to Gonzaga and Minnesota, as well as getting some mail from UCONN and Kentucky. Could be tough to hold onto him.

Dream scenario:
Lawson
Miles
Harriman (greyshirt, 30ppg scorer)
D'Angalo Jackson
Ty Morrison

-that'd be a damn impressive influx of talent.

Well another target of WSU's goes down. Slim pickins for this last scholarship.

Congrats CU though, should be a solid guard.

Congrats CU. Another one bites the dust for the Shox. :no: If Uzoh isn't a Shocker, Turg and Co. should hold the scholly for next year.

The kid is a decent player. I don't see him helping a lot this year but will be solid as a JR, SR.

Have you seen him play at all? or is this purely speculation? All he has to do is play hard and play smart to earn time in Dana's system.


I'm convinced that ranking basketball recruits is even less predictable than football, which is why I refuse to debate which teams have a better class. It will be great to see all the different teams freshman first hand next season.

congrats to Creighton, still can't fathom how UW-GB was the other finalist but the better program got him.

If he's got other trips planned, I would say that he's not CU's to hold onto. I hope the 'jays get him, but I question whether he's really made any commitment to Creighton.

Believe me Bulldog, you are not the only one questioning that right now. :banghead:

OWH article on D'Angelo. Since we didn't get Ben U, I am hoping WSU gets him. Should be some good battles over the next four years between two very similar players from what I have read about them.

D'Angelo should be the perfect bridge from Josh to Mr. Young. For the first time in a long time, CU should have enough depth at the point guard spot to keep everyone fresh and not drop off significantly in our ability to keep the offense running 40 minutes per game. Of course, he is unproven, but if his coach says he is that good, well it must be true - right?

Sorry, its being reported on a Texas BBall site that Uzoh is headed to Tulsa. :no:

Congrats to CU. It looks like a really good class. Hopefully Ty will go to CU too.


As far as my Shockers are concerned, unless there is some suprise out there, maybe it would be best to hold that last schollie for next year.
