Didn't see this one. Interesting comments
Location was always thought to be a factor for Jackson, and to some extent it was, but more of it had to do with coaches showing him love. That is the case with high profile programs like Michigan and Kansas State. "It was big. Michigan already has a great program. Kansas State is going to have a great program in a couple of years. Michigan was really, really good then they had a dry spell, but Coach Amaker and his staff really have them on he upswing. I really have always said I'm going to go to a school that wants me. I'm not saying Michigan didn't want me, I'm not saying Kansas State didn't want me, I'm saying I wanted to go to Xavier. I felt that they wanted me at a higher level than Kansas State or Michigan. I just wanted to go to a place that I was wanted. I just felt if Michigan wanted me that bad they would have held a spot for me. Kansas State was really just too far."
