A meet and greet at ShopRite is OK. Offering to put the tab on your Price Plus card might not be.
How about the Whole Foods across the street from his high school?

That would equate to an athletic scholarship. Don't tell Robin Harris.

Per Jesse Dougherty of WashPo:
Lindo Jr. is extremely versatile at 6-7 and is still deciding whether he’ll prep next year or enroll at a college in Class of 2018.

I think we might start thinking about our Class of 18 as a 3 man class: Wang, Scott and Williams.

. . . and Mark Jackson and Tyler Hamilton.
Then, we should compare the Penn "incoming" class to Harvard's "incoming" freshman class, and include Tommy McCarthy (and a full season of Bryce Aiken) in the Harvard group.
I invite Mike James to contribute any relevant numbers to this comparison.

Did you see Penn's game against UCF last year? Think Taco Fall. Mark Jackson is the Taco Fall of the IL. He is going to get on the floor and when he does, you cannot keep him from getting rebounds and put backs. He will also be a great rim protector without ever jumping (or being able to jump)

You are not one who normally misses the point. Michael Wang, Eddie Scott and Jelani Williams will all have 4 years of eligibility next fall. None of the other names you mentioned will have 4 years left.
Thus - all 3 will be effectively freshmen in terms of basketball next fall.

Couldn’t Jackson be as well? He’s been in street clothes with the injured guys for most of the year.
Not real confident about the Taco Fall comparison, or about his prospects for playing down the line, but he seemingly would be in position to have 4 more years of eligibility.

You need a season ending injury in addition to not having played in the second semester. If Jackson has been injured, it’s something I’m not aware of. But - maybe ....

Jackson has been in street clothes. Was assuming due to injury.
Of course it's only four years for Penn if the athlete wants it and can afford it.

We've been on the road for a couple weeks and there are restrictions on how many can dress. Let's check it out this weekend. Maybe he is injured. I haven't heard anything that confirms that though. Of course, Ivies aren't particularly free flowing with that type of information.
I'm pretty sure at this point in time the master plan is for Jelani and Eddie to be around for 4 more seasons.

Jackson hasn’t been dressed for home games either, in months. I’ve never heard what the injury is, if any, but it appears there is one. So theoretically he could be clear to play and dress this weekend, but I doubt it at this point.

SomeGuy is correct - this isn't something new and I've noticed him in street clothes for home games.

Yeah I meant to ask about Jackson post Columbia game when I noticed him in street clothes. It's been at least that long.

Mark Jackson has been practicing with the team. Not sure why he doesn't dress. He may not be cleared. I know early this season he wasn't cleared to play but was able to work out.
