5-Star 2020 Forward Isaiah Jackson Picks Kentucky
By Ian Anderson
Just as they do pretty much every year, the Kentucky Wildcats have landed another 5-star basketball recruit.
John Calipari's No. 1 ranked Cats have added a frontcourt ace to their 2020 class in the form of 6-fooot-9, 200-pound Isaiah Jackson of Waterford, Michigan.

The power forward picked UK over Alabama and Syracuse on Saturday, and brings even more firepower to a recruiting class that was already ranked No. 1 in the nation.
The rich get richer. Same as it ever was!
With a class that consists of four 5-stars and two 4-stars already, this 2020 group headed to Lexington means business. Coach Cal will be able to trout out one of the most purely talented starting lineups in men's hoops without taking into account any returning players from this year's top-ranked team.
Kentucky has the #1 Ranked Recruiting Class for 2020.

In an era of one and done college basketball, it would not be surprising to see most of the players in this class -- Jackson perhaps chief among them -- putting on NBA caps and shaking hands with Adam Silver two summers from now.
