Mention of dual-sport star Austin Jackson, who has GT in his final 3. Link here.

Denton (Texas) Ryan guard Austin Jackson will make an official visit to Illinois on the weekend of Sept. 10-12. Jackson, who could go in the top three rounds in the major league baseball amateur draft, is also considering Georgia Tech and Oklahoma in basketball. Rivals ranked the 6-1, 170-pounder at No. 49 nationally.

I'm trying not to get too excited about this kid. He wants to play both sports in college, but if he is a 1-3 round pick, will he head to the minors? My guess is probably, but what do I know?

Here's another mention from an Illinois site - link here.

Denton (Texas) Ryan High School guard Austin Jackson will make an official visit to Illinois on the weekend of Sept. 10-12. Jackson, who could go in the top three rounds in the Major League Baseball amateur draft, is also considering Georgia Tech and Oklahoma in basketball.

Rivals.com ranked the 6-1, 170-pounder at No. 49 nationally. The Illini have two open scholarships and likely will award one apiece to a guard and a forward-center. Illinois already has commitments from Peoria Richwoods guard Jamar Smith and forward David Palmer, a Tennessee native who is enrolled this year at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia.
