Five-star class of 2020 NCAA Basketball recruit Isaiah Jackson has a reported set of final teams. Which ones are in best position to land him?

One of the best NCAA Basketball prospects in the class of 2020 is Isaiah Jackson, a 6’9 forward originally from Detroit, Michigan. He plays for Spire High School in Ohio, one of the best programs in the country. Jackson has emerged as an elite recruit in the past year, coming off a great EYBL AAU Spring session.

His raw athleticism, vertical explosiveness and motor gives Jackson a high ceiling as a basketball player. He’s already an outstanding individual and help defender and is known to block as many shots in a game as possible. Jackson isn’t as polished offensively and also is not as much a threat beyond 10 feet from the floor but can become a good post scorer in due time.

Besides his offensive skillset (or lack thereof currently) Jackson needs to increase his bulk size. He weighs less than 200 punds and will struggles in the paint and on the boards against bigger frontcourt opponents. Jackson projects as a power forward at the next level and will have to improve in that aspect.

Even with those traits that still needs work, Jackson is already a five-star recruit with so much more room to grow. He could rank in the top-10 overall in the 2020 class with impved offense and continues to show his defensive skills. Scouts believe he can end up as a future first round pick in the NBA Draft with some offensive versitilty. He has two full offseasons before playing in an NCAA Basketball game so expect some nice development from the forward.

After having dozens of scholarship offers, Jackson has a final list of six teams vying for his services. Which of them are most likely to land the five-star prospect? Here’s a look at each where each program stands along with how Jackson fits with them.
