High School senior G.G. Jackson has decommitted from North Carolina. Jackson becomes the first prospect to decommit from North Carolina in nearly 20 years; J.R. Smith committed to the Tar Heels in 2003, but opted to go straight to the NBA out of high school. No player in the modern recruiting era has decommitted from the Tar Heels and gone elsewhere for college. A 6-foot-9 forward from Ridge View High School in Columbia, South Carolina, Jackson is ranked No. 6 in the ESPN 100 for 2023. As a junior last season, he averaged 22 points and 11 rebounds, earning Gatorade Player of the Year honors in South Carolina.
