G.G. Jackson (2023)

This is a recruitment that has really picked up steam over the past few weeks with both North Carolina and Duke putting the full court press on. Both programs have made visits to see G.G. Jackson in South Carolina this month and both seem REALLY interested in him.

At one point, many thought this battle was down to North Carolina and South Carolina as the favorites but since then, Jon Scheyer and his staff have made an impression on Jackson. And it has been enough of an impression to consider Duke a legit contender here.

Jackson is in the process of setting up visits to both programs this Fall and we could be headed for a big Blue Blood battle here with this talented five-star recruit. With both teams getting their chance to impress with visits, it could come down to the wire between the rivals.

The thing to note here is that Jackson has been pretty quiet about his recruitment, not letting any hints get out. But over the past few weeks, it feels like there has been a bit of a shift in momentum that favors the Blue Devils.
