UNC Basketball: Ian Jackson shines at Under Armour Elite 24

UNC Basketball 2024 top recruit Ian Jackson has been one of the highlights this week at the Under Armour Elite 24 Showcase.

UNC Basketball commit Ian Jackson, the No. 5 overall player in the Class of 2024 according to 247 Sports, has been among the stars at the Under Armour Elite 24 Showcase practices this week in Atlanta, Georgia.

On3Sports reported on the top day-one performers, and Jackson was among several standouts. Here is what On3Sports had to say about the future Tar Heel:

"Five-Star Plus+ SG Ian Jackson (UNC) plays great in transition, showing off good athleticism and pop when attacking the basket. It was a quiet day for the UNC commitment in the live five-on-five portion of the event. He seems to be someone who always has fun when he is on the court."

Most of this is what UNC Basketball fans already know, and it’s that Jackson is going to be a force to be reckoned with in Chapel Hill and bring a lot of excitement to the floor.

The Elite 24 Showcase gives attention to the top 24 boys and girls high school basketball players in the nation. Practice is this week with the Elite 24 games taking place on Saturday, August 12th in Atlanta, Georgia. The girls’ game tips off at 6:00 PM ET with the boys following at 8:00 PM ET. Both games can be found on ESPNU.

Other notable players in the Elite 24 Showcase are 2025 recruits Isiah Harwell, Bryson Tiller, and Caleb Wilson, who have each received an offer from the UNC Basketball program. To see the full roster of players and learn more about the Under Armour Elite 24 Showcase, click here.
