Whatever happened to the Jackson twins from Allderdice

[Sean Miller Fan]

Supposedly, they committed to Pitt but had to attend a prep school but their commitment was never really confirmed.

The one, I thought was a better basketball player and I was hoping Pitt basketball would have offered. I saw him play vs Penn State (aka Philly Roman Catholic) in the AAAA final last year and I thought he looked just as good as the highly rated PSU kids.

 

[JoseLind13]

Not sure... thought they didn't sign with Toledo and James was switching focus to basketball.

 

[Piranha]

They signed with Erie Community College. Trying to improve their grades to be eligible.

This is a critical stage for both, as they're straddling the fence of whether the "story" of their athletic (and perhaps personal) lives will be ahead of them or behind. They have a 1-2 year window of opportunity to determine the answer.

Will their address be the streets of Wilkinsburg or a campus dorm at a university? The streets are non-forgiving and can take one on a slow permanent downward spiral to nowhere. Seen it happen dozens, if not hundreds of times. Fellas have to be very careful.

Well, those were Top 50/100 recruits and I thought Jackson was right there with him. My opinion on Jackson was he was a lower P5 bball talent.

There is such a thing as P5 bball?

I wonder if Gonzaga knows they're not a "real" power basketball school because they're not in a P5 football conference?

Or (even though I absolutely HATE that school), the defending national champions.

No, but what do we call the P5 plus Big East? Then you have the American, A10, what are they?

"Schools with better basketball coaches than Pitt?"

 

[Slick Manager of Champs]

There is such a thing as P5 bball?

uh, yeah. Why do you think those catholic schools in the old Big East never wanted to separate? Then they were no longer considered a BCS conference. Who was the last non BCS/P5 since Villanova to win it all? UNLV? That was 25 years ago.

still not buying you are a newby here. You blend in too easily.

Why would they have been considered a BCS conference? You do remember what the acronym "BCS" stood for, don't you?

Think short troll

Well most people include the Big East for basketball and call it the P6, so there is that.

So how did they go to Taylor Alderdice High School if they are from Wilkinsburg ? Buddy Valinsky is on this board and coached them. What do you know personaly about these two boys ?

Just facts Sir.

Well most people include the Big East for basketball and call it the P6, so there is that.

I've never heard that.....and I dont think the BE is much better than the American, so should it be the Power 7? UConn, Cincy, Memphis, and Temple are major programs.

I don't know what to say to that, other than to ask why someone who is theoretically a college basketball fan doesn't pay very much attention to the sport.
