I have several friends who are Razorbacks who tipped me off to Jackson's name getting mentioned on their board a few months ago. Otis Kirk was EXTREMELY confident that Jackson would visit, and be a Hog. He mentioned Denver Kirkland as someone he spoke with regarding this. I brushed it off as total bull**** since Jackson was so emphatic on Twitter about being solid, shutting it down, etc. At one point after a particularly convincing Jackson tweet that it was over, Kirk seemed to be EXTRA sure that it meant nothing and he would visit and be a Hog. Again I took it as bull****. Then, of course, Jackson took the super secret visit. At that point, I was wondering wtf was really going on.
Makes you wonder just exactly what was going on that whole time... my totally wild guess is that he felt a lot of pressure from Denver, had a hard time saying no, really did enjoy the visit, and then came back and decided to stay with the Canes.
Whatever the case, very glad to have him.
