There was a constant presence at the AAU games of Center Grove forward Trayce Jackson-Davis in July: the Indiana coaching staff.
In fact, the Hoosiers had someone at every game Jackson-Davis played for Team Teague in July. And that persistence has allowed IU to make up significant ground with the rising junior in a short amount of time.
Prior to Archie Miller’s hiring in late March, Indiana was barely even on the radar for Jackson-Davis. Thursday, he’ll make another unofficial visit to Bloomington for the IU-Ohio State football game.
“Before the coaching change, he was just kind of coming into his own, but we hadn’t heard anything from IU,” Ray Jackson, his stepfather, told Inside the Hall on Wednesday afternoon.
