Isaiah Jackson, the 6-foot-9, 195-pound power forward from Waterford Mott High School (MI), will take an official visit to Kentucky this coming weekend, his father told ZAGSBLOG.
Kentucky coach John Calipari and his staff watched Jackson this summer at Peach Jam.
“Isaiah’s recruitment is open,” Wesley Jackson said this summer. “Just about every school has voiced interest besides maybe North Carolina. That’s the only big school that we haven’t talked to.”
Wesley listed Duke, Kentucky, Michigan State, Kansas, Arizona, Alabama, Maryland, Illinois and Oregon among those involved. St. John’s recently offered after head coach Mike Anderson watched him at Peach Jam.
Jackson, who is ranked the No. 3 power forward in 2020 by 247Sports.com, spent last season at SPIRE Academy in Ohio alongside LaMelo Ball and Michigan State commit Rocket Watts. Now he’s headed to Waterford Mott, his fourth high school in four years.
Playing with The Family at the Peach Jam last week, Jackson averaged 10.6 points and 5.6 rebounds and impressed a slew of coaches.
