One and done. Wonder how much he will be paid at SC? Has to be a lot to lure him away from NC. Like others he will never have to step foot in a classroom. Thus is the state of big money college sports.
He was probably going to have to come off the bench at UNC, that's a big part of why he left.
Jackson is coming to college ball a year early, he is not a great shooter and still needs work done to get physically ready, would be nice to see Slawson punish this kid.
The number one recruit in the nation is not an excellent shooter and needs work to get physically ready? Anyway, hopefully Paris will not have his team of transfers ready if we play them in Charleston.
Exactly correct, you must take everything in context

#1 He is not the top recruit in the 2022 class that he reclassified to (he is for 2023), but yes he is probably top 10

#2 If he wants to be a top 10 draft pick in the NBA next summer he will need to prove to be either a better shooter, or get much much stronger, its been easy for him playing small kids in SC high school hoops, that will change over time if he does not develop a jump shot to space floor or at least get much stronger to be able to play down low

#3 Its no mystery, these are the very reasons he left that stacked UNC roster to go to USC

I bought my tickets to the Charleston Classic. This is a great opportunity for FU to shine in the basketball world. Hopefully, we will get some wins, maybe all 3. There are plenty of hotel rooms for every budget. By attending we can demonstrate that FU can travel well and it possibly will help us get more of these opportunities in the future. USC with GG should have a lot of fans and C of C as the host team will as well. FU should be #3 in attendance with plenty of purple in the arena. The team and coaches are working hard and its up to Paladin Nation to show up an cheer our team to victory. Let’s do this!!!

If I had my way, I would like to play Penn St first, but believe we will play either ODU or Davidson first.

Got your wish.

This tourney will be great prep for us in getting ready for the SoCon tournament, and NCAA's as well for that matter

The teams appear to have been seeded and first round games determined by the final rankings from last season. Pomeroy ranked Virginia Tech #19 and Old Dominion #194.Davidson finished #40,Colorado State #46, the Paladins were #74, Penn State #88, South Carolina #99 and Charleston was #144. Fair way to do it. For maximum attendance chances you might have expected South Carolina and Charleston to have been matched with Old Dominion or Penn State in the first round.
