Well, that's at least what his facebook status is saying. And as you know, Jackson loves dropping hints on Facebook.
So where is Jackson headed? While his final three is coming down to Tennessee, Kansas, and his hometown Memphis Tigers, just about everyone believes he will spend next year playing for Josh Pastner.
Which begs the question, as asked by Gary Parrish: is there a better recruiter out there than Pastner? And yes, that includes John Calipari.
You see, if Pastner he will have two top 10 recruits from the class of 2010 committed to Memphis (the only school that can say as much), the other being Baltimore's Will Barton.
Now, I have been known to get a bit excited when it comes to exaggeration, but before any Kentucky fans out there disagree with me, remember this fact. Whether or not they have been scrubbed from the record books, Coach Cal has reached two Final Fours. His teams, especially of late, have churned out first rounders. Scandals and rumors aside, he is easily one of the top five coaches in the college game today.
Josh Pastner?
He's a 31 year old former assistant that has never been the head coach of a team. Ever. Not even a single game.
And he's on the brink of landing his second five star recruit for next season.
That's impressive.
