Dante has visited Xavier 18 times (no joke), and UD only once. If he goes to UD, it Brian Gregory would have pulled off the biggest sales job ever...

Just going along with the Rivals article. Xavier is the choice.
Good for Dante. He's going into a program that has a good thing going right now.

Xavier a perfect fit
BY DUSTIN DOW | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Traveling south to Cincinnati from Greenfield, Ohio, for a campus visit last Friday, coveted basketball recruit Dante Jackson didn’t think he would actually commit to play for Xavier University that very day.
“I really didn’t,” Jackson said Monday. “I didn’t think I would feel this good or this strongly about it.”
But it didn’t take long for him to become convinced that Xavier – rather than places such as Dayton, Kansas State, Notre Dame, Michigan or the University of Cincinnati – was the best place to continue his basketball career.
He decided during the visit to XU that he would orally commit to the Musketeers and will make a formal announcement at Greenfield McClain High School on Thursday.
Come November, Jackson expects to sign a national-letter-of-intent to attend Xavier in 2007.
Miller’s persistence on the summer recruiting scene was the difference for Jackson, a 6-feet-5 guard who is rated among the top 150 players in the 2007 class by Rivals.com.
Xavier made it a priority to show up for Jackson’s high school and summer games, which didn’t go unnoticed by the player.
“He’s really recruited me hard,” Jackson said of Miller. “They run a good program, and really, I just fell in love with their coaching staff.”
Greenfield McClain athletic director Pat Stevens speculated that Jackson is the first Division I recruit to come out of the high school in recent memory.
McClain played in Xavier’s team camp this summer, a process that helped Jackson get more familiar with Xavier’s campus before this past weekend’s visit.
“I felt real good just walking around on the campus,” Jackson said. “It was probably the best college visit I’ve been on.”
NCAA rules prohibit Miller from directly speaking about an unsigned recruit, but he has said in the past that the team camp is a valuable recruiting element considering that many current XU players participated in it as high school players.
