Drake Powell, Ian Jackson among 25 impact freshmen for the 2024-25 college basketball season

Posted Sep 18, 2024
A ridiculous offensive talent, UNC's Ian Jackson can score from all angles on the court all while giving everything he has on defense. He’ll form an elite perimeter troika for the Tar Heels along with point guard Elliot Cadeau and National Player of the Year candidate R.J. Davis. Drake Powell is 6-7 and explosive. Powell’s tenacity should complement the Tar Heels. (College Hoops Today)
