Local three-star big man Marcus Jackson commits to Maryland

The Terps have landed one of their two official hoops visitors from the weekend, as three-star F/C Marcus Jackson has committed to Willard at the conclusion of his visit. Jackson is a big, strong F/C who can protect the rim and throw it down with authority, finishing through contact. Think a slightly smaller Bruno Fernando type big man. He's big, strong, can block shots and is a pogo stick on the glass. He originally attended Edmondson but will be at Compass Prep this upcoming season. I really like this pickup, as you know exactly what you are getting here. And every Big Ten team needs this type of bruising forward/center that isn't going to try to always stretch the floor and be something he's not. He's a smart kid and really wanted to be here. Again, give me a kid like this in every class and we are good to go.

STORY

Really not much highlight tape of the kid out there. But here is a short clip to give you a general idea of what the Terps are getting. Again, really like this pickup.
