Frank Jackson no longer committed to BYU? Duke in play

Duke is serious about 2016 top 30 prospect Frank Jackson, who is expected to visit the campus in June according to his travel team the Utah Prospects.

Jackson, an athletic 6-3, 190-pound lethal scorer as a combo guard out of American Fork (Utah) Lone Fork High School, has family on the east coast.

Coach K, who watched Jackson play last evaluation period in Dallas, is expected to offer on the visit. The Duke staff has been in constant communication since the event, which was a week and a half ago.

Arizona and Utah are both strong with Jackson, and the Arizona staff is visiting him today. At one time Jackson was committed to BYU.

Ranked No. 26 in the 247Sports Composite, Jackson has predictions for Arizona, Duke and Utah in his Crystal Ball.

Would be tough to say no to any of those programs right now. Especially Duke.

I fear for Frank that Duke would just be another Burgess scenario. But, best to him. I hope he lands where he can further develop his game.

Bummer :(

Can't blame him, though. Hope he still picks BYU. Could be the next BYU leading scorer or sit on the bench at Duke.

disappointing. Not necessarily surprising.

I believe that Frank would be a huge asset to BYU, will be another plug and chug at the other places he is considering.

Hopefully being able to have your family and friends come to all your home games bears some weight

With the talent coming in, he can be the piece to take the team to the next level. He will have a great time taking it to new heights. He comes we can get the next great LDS player. Jabari could have been the one.
