Zeb Jackson is on board with Juwan
Zeb Jackson Sr., the father of top-100 2020 guard Zeb Jackson, tells @TheAthleticDET that his son is holding firm in his commitment to U-M, in light of the Howard reports. "As long as Coach Howard and his staff remain as excited about Zeb as Coach Beilein and his staff," he said.
Excellent! Now come on Jalen Wilson!!
I wonder if Jalen Rose will be tweeting Wilson that he'll have to drop his first name if he goes anywhere else other than Michigan.
I wonder how Jalen's dad first reacted to his wife wanting to name their son after another specific man lol
Imagine telling your wife you want to name your daughter after Pamela Anderson or something. Scorched Earth would ensue
If I know this board, I'm pretty sure there are a few Kate Upton's out there.
Wouldn't it be a little weird to name your daughter after a chick you want to bang?
Not my cup of tea, but I know this board.
Bro that would be dope!!!
Tweet from Zaviers dad
"Was watching the game with X and we was FaceTiming on the phone with Zeb. This clown @iamzebjackson1 hangs up and calls me right back to tell me I’m ugly, then hangs up the phone on me. Dude, U know U and X are 2 of the ugliest dues in NW Ohio"
Zeb retweeted it LOL
Huh?
Zavier Simpson's dad is Zeb Jackson's coach and I guess he was just relaying some Facetime shenanigans that Zeb pulled when Zavier Simpson and his father were Facetiming Zeb?
Someone should let his dad know he goes by Z now.
He is still X/Xavier, its just that apparently the NCAA or U of M made him switch to using his birth certificate name, which is spelled Zavier, for the official roster.
Coach B always referred to him as X this past year.
Just thought it was funny Zaviers dad called Zeb and Zavier the two ugliest dudes in Ohio. Also shows Zeb has a good relationship with people connected to the program so his commitment has always been strong
Zeb Jackson Sr also said that Zeb is as excited about Howard as he was with Beilein, as long as they keep the assistants intact so that's good
New staff would be foolish not to love Zeb. Future pro
Yep, a 6'3" athletic PG who can slash to the hoop and has a developing shot? I think anyone would be down with that. And who knows, he could still be growing
Good news!
Now go get emoni bates. Program changer for 1 year
Unfortunately, the One-and-Done rule will be eliminated by this time.
Dollars to doughnuts it won’t be.
I'd imagine the rule will almost certainly be gone by 2022, which of course would be the Bates class. Everything coming out of the league points to that being the date.
Emoni Bates is the next KD. The amount of a money he will be offered from scumbag coaches will be impossible for Howard and Michigan to out-recruit
And as the other guy said Emoni probably goes straight to the NBA.
Hopefully Howard will be willing to get some gets the bag they deserve. Just make sure Howard keep multiple layers away from the payments.
Great news Zeb has a bright future.
Juwan Howard will have a whole year to recruit him (as will other programs) so I don't think it matters that much what he says today. It does help he is staying publicly committed and having strong connections to Zavier Simpson and his father.
Personally, I am more concerned about next year and getting Howard off on the right foot. Michigan has three open scholarships right now without Jalen Wilson.
Jim Abbott is going to be the new baseball coach! :-D
