2015 Mixtape below. Apparently, Jackson blew up at Mullen's JC Top 100 Camp recently. He's a combo guard. Averaged 13.6 ppg, 40 percent from three point range and 86% from the FT line for IWU as a frosh. HM All-State in Wisconsin at Milwaukee's Pius XI High School.

Staying on him — Wichita State men’s basketball will lose two top-level guards when seniors Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker complete this season. It makes sense for the Shockers to look at replacements.

One strong candidate is Iowa Western Community College point guard Donovan Jackson, a sophomore from Milwaukee. Iowa Western coach Jim Morris said WSU started recruiting Jackson last spring. While Jackson hasn’t set his list of visits, Morris expects him to check out WSU this fall. "They’ve recruited him the longest and the hardest,” Morris said.

Jackson (6-foot-1) averaged 13.6 points and 2.3 assists as a freshman, making 40.2 percent of his three-pointers (66 of 164).

“He can really shoot,” Morris said. “He played some (shooting guard) for us; Wichita State is recruiting him as a point guard.”

Jackson put on a show at the Mullen JC Top 100 camp in St. Louis earlier this month, averaging 15 points and 3.3 assists in three games. He made, according to Mullen’s statistics crew, all 11 of his three-point shots and 5 of 7 inside the arc, plus both his free throws. Jackson came into the camp with the reputation as a strong scorer and impressed scouts with his passing and playmaking skills.

“He’s an extremely hard worker,” Morris said. “He’ll dive on the floor for loose balls. He does all the little things.”

Jerry Mullen, owner of Mullen’s Roundball Review, describes Jackson as Rajon Rondo with a jump shot. He backs up the 11-for-11 stat. Mullen’s Cameron Belden acknowledges that Jackson shot with great accuracy, although he won’t swear he made 11 straight.

“Unbelievable,” Mullen said. “He played great. He’s long and he can handle the ball and make plays with the ball.”

@AlexHalsted: Iowa Western C.C. PG Donovan Jackson was on an unofficial visit to Iowa State from Saturday until this afternoon he tells me.

@AlexHalsted: Steve Prohm is the lead recruiter on Donovan Jackson. He has officials set to Wichita State (Aug. 28) and Ole Miss (Sept. 11) he told me.

@AlexHalsted: Lastly on Donovan Jackson. He will commit somewhere by the end of September. Doesn't necessarily need to have an official to ISU he said.

It looks like Jackson may be our priority PG recruit
