Justin Jackson's Summer: Progress Report

Posted Jun 11, 2015
Though it only lasted five weeks, Justin Jackson’s time training at home could have a major impact on the 2015-16 college basketball season. “A lot of coming home for me was mental,” said Jackson, who leaves for Chapel Hill on Thursday. “I’ve gotten stronger, bigger and put on some weight. I’ve gained 10 to 15 pounds, and it’s not just weight. It’s functional weight.” (Inside Carolina)
