Trying???
How do you TRY to commit to a school?
Exactly. He can commit but I think he likes all the attention.

I think he wants to go to MSU and for his mom to be happy, that's not a bad thing. I know his mom has been at the center of this but at worst she raised a good kid by all accounts.Exactly. He can commit but I think he likes all the attention.
McDowell is a perfect example of following YOUR heart and playing where YOU want to play, not where your parents want you to play. The kid is projected to be a top 10 pick in the draft next year. I just don't understand why parents have to get so involved in these recruitments. Izzo is one of the good guys of college basketball, why wouldn't you want your son to play there?
As a die hard State fan if my son/daughter one day decided to play at Notre Dame or Stanford or whatever other University I'd fully support it. Maybe I'm the crazy one here, I don't know.
I definitely haven't read it but now I'm curious. who the heck is this guy's mom? how does she put together tournaments - in freakin Kansas no less? and doesn't she also run some recruiting service and/or his AAU team or something like that? Did she work for a high school athletic association or the NCAA or was she an NBA or a WNBA executive or something?

He also said he almost announced on Thursday but wanted his whole family there. I think there's a lot more to that storyJackson now saying a decision within 2 weeks.
Saw an article in the Lansing State Journal today about his recruitment. It did not seem to frame things in a very optimistic light.
Someone wake me when it's done, I guess.

I'm so tired of this thread and the his recruitment. Anyone who says he's not doing it for attention doesn't seem to be paying attention. I get that it's the biggest decision of his life so far, but if he didn't lover the attention, he could be a lot more private about it - there's a tweet, or an insider comment or announcement about an announcement every other day, if not every day. Just pick a school, stfu and go play.

Attention? He's getting asked about this hourly and he'll tweet or say something to keep people at bay. The way I'm reading this is that he's trying to get on the dame page with his mom. I understand elite kids not committing early because they want to see who leaves for the NBA. I think he wants this to be over and wants to get his mom on board.I'm so tired of this thread and the his recruitment.

Miles Bridges is at the McD's Game practicing, he was interviewed today and says he knows where Jackson is going. Another question 4 players were polled as to where they think Jackson is going, 3 of the 4 said MSU, including Bridges.
So either Jackson told Miles he is coming to MSU, or Miles thinks he can convince Bridges to pick MSU this week.
