Arizona will continue to recruit Frank Jackson despite mission trip

Sean Miller not backing down in pursuit of a top ranked point guard

One of the top point guards in the nation, Frank Jackson, has decided to hold off on college basketball to complete his two-year mission trip as part of his LDS faith. Originally a member of the 2016 recruiting class, Jackson will now enter college in 2018, making him a 20-year-old freshman.

The 6-3, 180lb point guard is ranked 4th at his position, 25th overall. Jackson has narrowed his list down to 10 schools, with Arizona and Duke as the clear favorites. He hails from American Fork, Utah, the same hometown as Brendan Bailey, who was just offered by Arizona last week.
