Five-star recruits are nothing new for UK coach John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats. But at least one newcomer, Isaiah Jackson, may already be a sleeper among the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class.
As first reported by Larry Vaught, Jackson’s former high school coach, David McGlown, as well as Rivals.com writer Dan McDonald, think that UK got a steal with Jackson, who played at Waterford Mott (Mich.) High School during the 2019-20 season.
In fact, McGlown predicts the 6-9 Jackson will be a top-15 NBA pick in two years, while McDonald thinks he just might be the “best post player in the (2020) class when all is said and done.
