We are still playing catch up after a weekend mini-vacation, but we found out Friday that Isaiah Jackson will indeed forgo his remaining college eligibility and stay in the NBA Draft.
There really was never a doubt, but here is the official statement from Jackson and press release from UK:
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky men’s basketball freshman forward Isaiah Jackson will remain in the NBA Draft, ending his collegiate eligibility after an impressive freshman season at UK.
“Thank you to everyone – my family, Coach Cal, the staff and Big Blue Nation – who has supported me and rooted for me throughout my collegiate career,” Jackson said.
