Personal:
Born June 28, 1987 ... Son of Sherry Jackson... has a younger sister (Deshire) and brother (Micko) ... Major is communication.
Enjoys playing video games, bowling and sleeping in his spare time.
Personal goal at U of L is to "help lead this team to a championship my junior year."
Feels Al Pacino would be the best actor to play him in a movie.
What impresses him the most about Coach Pitino is "he understands and teaches you. He's the greatest man I've ever met."
Few people know that he wishes he was married and that he's afraid of heights.
His mother Sherry Jackson has had the greatest influence on his athletic career.
Chose to attend U of L because "Coach P is the best I've seen and was real from the start, plus Louisville is the best city since Seattle."
Started playing basketball as a kid when the football field was too wet to play on.
Chose his No. 1 uniform number because "the ones before me were just No. 1; I want to be the ONE."
Best basketball advice given to him was that "you can be among greats if you work hard."
If you walked into his dorm room, the first thing you would notice is his 130 shoe boxes.
Would most like to meet his father.
