TRR Live - CU Recruit Diante Jackson Sits Down With The Ralphie Report

Welcome to the second Ralphie Report Live segment. This time we welcome in California prep star and CU recruit WR Diante Jackson. Diante has quickly made himself the Buffs new #1 recruiting prospect along with DT Edward Nuckols. Diante would bring great size and explosiveness to a position that is a definite need for the Buffs. He was gracious enough to spare 15 minutes of his time to talk to us about a ton of topics including when he expects to announce. Special thanks to Diante on this one. He sounds like a smart kid and made us want to see him in a Buff uniform even more. Enjoy the audio after the jump. We have also transcribed this in case you want to read the text.

Thanks guys

We did some research to make sure everything was kosher to move forward with the interview NCAA-wise and we got the go ahead. It was a lot of fun and we will be talking to Nate Bonsu next week!

Solid academics a negagive?

Interesting that he says he likes Oregon because the academics there are good and says that academics are an important part of the decision (which they should be), but later when discussing negatives about each school he mentions the difficult academics at Colorado. I hope our coaches talk to him about the excellent academic support he’ll get at CU, plus the value of earning a diploma from a solid university.

Great interview, Irish.

Sounds like he is worried about getting qualified at CU

Curious if Oregon has lower standards, I wouldn’t think so, but may be the case with Phil Knight pulling the strings
