Posted Nov 22, 2006Scout.com's East Coast recruiting expert Mike Sullivan examines the game of Patrick Jackson ...The 2008 class in the New York City area seems strong, possibly stronger than the 2007 class. So it's important for division one programs to start making a more intense effort to watch the prospects play this season.
It's likely many colleges will make sure they pencil in a visit to Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, New York. The Xaverian coaching staff is highly regarded and its basketball program produces some highly skilled players almost every year.This season, Xaverian will feature some solid underclassmen talent. Among the players to watch is swingman Patrick Jackson, who produced some great games in the Fall at IS8 when his ankle was fine.Jackson, 6-foot-6, is slender and agile. He is able to produce points from different spots on the floor. The division one programs are already watching him seriously.Schools of Interest: Miami of Florida, Virginia, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Marquette, Rutgers, Seton Hall, St. John's.Conclusion:: Jackson needs to be consistent while adding some strength to his game. He has a terrific shot at being an impact player on the college level.Xaverian Forward Has High D-1 InterestBy Mike Sullivan

Posted Oct 25, 2006Reporter Mike Sullivan had a chance to speak to Patrick Jackson at IS8 this week ...Quiet and modest about his ability to score on the court, Patrick Jackson lets his actions speak for his skills. Jackson, who was hampered with an ankle problem, attended some games this week at IS8. Unable to play, Patrick said he was looking forward to his winter of basketball.
While Cardozo coach Ron Naclerio encouraged him to continue to improve and work hard during the interview, Jackson just smiled and said, "I will."Xaverian High School has a wonderful winning tradition and a great coaching staff. So it's likely the 6-foot-6 forward will continue to improve his game."I am interested in Miami, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Marquette, Rutgers, Seton Hall, St. John's," Jackson said. "There are other schools too."Patrick has some time before he will officially sign a letter of intent. He is a member of the class of 2008, meaning he has another two seasons to improve his individual game.Clearly, the best days are ahead for Jackson...
