From Justin Hopkins 24/7
USC
Jackson spent Saturday afternoon at USC. He has been there numerous times so this was merely a chance for him to connect with the staff. Sources tell us Jackson seemed distant during his time at USC. Which may not be anything much to read into, but during meetings he was distracted by his phone and other activities. It is unclear if his mother was on the tour with him or not.
UCLA
On Sunday mid-morning, Jackson arrived at UCLA with his mother. He has not spent nearly the amount of time in Westwood as he has spent at USC. This was a chance for the staff to connect with his mother and make their pitch. While UCLA isn't overly optimistic here, it was a chance for them to showcase their program. Sources indicate he was much more attentive and less distracted than he was at USC the night prior.
Florida
I recently changed my pick back to Florida for the 5-star. I think track and the lure of playing in the SEC have his full attention. By no means would I call this a slam dunk for the Gators, but as of right now, I feel like the momentum is in their favor. USC still leads by a wide margin according to the Crystal Ball, but national recruiting director JC Shurburtt has since joined with my pick.
LSU
In my eyes, I consider Florida the favorite based on my latest intel. Not everyone will agree with me but that's what I'm hearing. Along with that news I think LSU has more of a shot than they are getting credit for. I get the feeling Jackson wants to play in the SEC. I feel the Tigers are ahead of UCLA int he pecking order currently.
News is coming out hot and heavy regarding the nation's top corner, these thoughts could change even later today depending on what is made available.
