Knightstown (IN) point guard Jackson Edwards didn't mess around. He picked up an offer from IU-South Bend about 10 days ago during his visit to the campus. Just over a week later and he is now a Titan.
The 6'0 lead guard is one of the more underrated athletes in the state. Playing at Knightstown he comes in a little under-the-radar but had a big summer with Grassroots Indiana 2016 Blue. Adding a jumpshot to his game with be part of the next stage of his development but his ability get to the rim and finish with athleticism and speed gives him a little advantage.
“Really good,” Jackson said. “I think it's the right place for me. I like Coach Cooper and the basketball program, as well as the academics. Academically it is exactly what I'm looking for. I love the area and the campus and I think I'll be able to contribute right away.”
Edwards had other interest as well including Anderson Earlham, DePauw, Franklin and others. This is the first commitment for IU-South Bend in the 2016 class.
