BU recruit-class of 2008- Lewis Jackson

[Da Coach]

Class of 2008 super point guard prospect Lewis Jackson of Decatur Eisenhower high school has been recruited by Bradley, but after superb performances this past summer, his recruiting stock has skyrocketed. He has made visits to Iowa, Iowa State, and Illinois, and had offers from Iowa, Iowa State, UNLV, Creighton, ISU, Xavier and WIU, in addition to Bradley. But he is receiving heavy interest from bigger schools like Wake Forest and Georgia Tech.

But in a new premium Rivals.com article about Jackson and his recruiting, he says that though he was impressed with his visit to Illinois, he is still considering Bradley and some others. Here is the link to the premium article--

We have a future stud point guard in Sam Maniscalco. We need bigs.

Sam will be here in 2007, Jackson is a 2008 recruit. Doesn't hurt to have depth at PG.
I think it will become a moot point, because, though it's nice to see a heralded kid like Jackson give respect by mentioning Bradley, he is one of the top point guards nationally in the class of 2008. He will end up at some major school.

This list has him at about #25 among point guards nationallyo--

One other name that reappeared in a new story tonight, Manual Cass. This one on Scout.com--

The new report announces Cass' enrollment at South Kent prep school in Connecticut. It also reprots that his recruiting is wide open again (meaning that his previous committment to DePaul is no longer valid). Could Bradley be interested again? He is now rated as a 4-star recruit for 2008.

I don't want Manual Cass. He may be talented, but his track record doesn't say much for his character. BU can get just as talented of a player who also has character.
