More preseason praise being directed toward freshman Isaiah Jackson

B.J. Boston and Terrence Clarke are the two clear freshman stars, but there are continuing whispers that Kentucky has a third one hiding in the shadows.

6-foot-10 freshman forward Isaiah Jackson earned himself even more preseason praise earlier on Sunday, this time from ESPN basketball analyst and former head coach Jimmy Dykes, who said that the former four-star prospect “is gonna be a problem for rest of the SEC.”

Lot to absorb watching @KentuckyMBB practice in preparation for upcoming Pro Day… but Isaiah Jackson at some point is gonna be a problem for rest of the @SEC

Since the middle of October, Jackson has been the most talked-about player who flew under the radar as a high schooler.
