Jackson cut his list down to nine on Thursday, with Arizona, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina, N.C. State and UCLA making the cut.

It is also worth noting that no Under Armour-sponsored schools made Jackson’s final list despite the fact that his AAU program, 1 Nation, competes on the Under Armour circuit.
