Beesball: Austin Jackson and the Draft

Found this comment over at BaseballAmerica.com on an MLB draft chat:

Q: dave from maryland asks:
where does austin jackson projected to be taken in next months draft?


A: Allan Simpson: Jackson has been a high-profile talent since he was 12, but he's always been a better basketball player. It looks like he's headed to Georgia Tech, where he's projected to start at guard as a freshman. He gave that impression to baseball scouts this spring.


Another solid tidbit to make Jacket fans feel more comfortable about the Point Guard position next season. With Zam and Austin, we should be solid. Inexperienced, but solid....
