ASU just offered him and he plans on visiting ASU in November. I would post the link, but it's an ASU subscribers thread so I figure no one will have access.

Basically it's his first major D1 program to offer but also has Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Butler contacting him.

though i don't expect that matta will offer jackson, i would like to see some movement here. i think traevon is an underrated player who would complement shannon scott at the point. perhaps dai-jon parker, scott's high school teammate, is a likelihood rather than just a possibility. i don't know.

nonetheless, jackson possesses tremendous savvy and a complete game as an off-guard who can also fill the point. if ohio state does not become involved, i would love to see jackson stay in the big ten and go to wisconsin. he would flourish in ryan's system.

in his profile while playing, he looks exactly like his dad. I don't want to see his dad sporting any colors other than the scarlet and gray.

From the youtube video, he doesn't appear to be explosive, but is strong and has good ability with both hands around the basket. How is his shot?

traevon is not a great athlete insofar as explosion is concerned, but i still consider him to be a good-to-great athlete in terms of coordination and court savvy. for example, i don't consider evan turner to be an explosive athlete, but he has outstanding body control. to be sure, traevon is not his father, who was the high school reincarnate of magic johnson. however, it is very easy to see jimmy's game in traevon.

traevon's shot is decent. i don't think he averages better than 40% from three, and i don't think he averages over 80% from the charity stripe. his release needs to be quicker.

UW men's basketball: Jim Jackson's son among two recruits to commit to Badgers

The University of Wisconsin men's basketball team got a double dose of good recruiting news Saturday when two players orally committed to play for the Badgers.

Traevon Jackson, a 6-2 point guard from Westerville, Ohio, chose the

Badgers over Arizona State. He is the son of former Ohio State standout Jim

Jackson.

Badgers men's basketball: Traevon Jackson driven by high expectations
JIM POLZIN | Wisconsin State Journal

Wisconsin guard Traevon Jackson (12) drives on Indiana guard Yogi Ferrell (11) during the first half of the Badgers' victory on Tuesday night in Bloomington, Ind.

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Greg Gard had just finished a round of interviews 35 minutes after Sunday's practice when the associate head coach for the University of Wisconsin men's basketball team looked out on the Nicholas-Johnson Pavilion court and saw sophomore Traevon Jackson working on his shot.

It was a familiar scene for Gard.

He saw it several times during visits to Westerville South High School in central Ohio while he was recruiting Jackson.

Gard saw it the day after the Badgers' 70-66 loss to Iowa on Jan. 19 ? Jackson went 1-for-10 from the field in that game ? when Gard brought the scout team in the gym for a rundown on Michigan State, UW's next opponent, before practice.

That Gard saw it again on Sunday didn't surprise him, even though Jackson was the hero of UW's 45-44 victory over then-No. 12 Minnesota the previous day.

"This," Gard said, motioning out on the floor toward Jackson, who had set up a chair to dribble around before pulling up for a jumper, "is not abnormal."

In fact, long days in the gym have become a habit for Jackson, who will try to help the Badgers (14-6, 5-2 Big Ten) knock off No. 11 Ohio State (15-4, 5-2) Tuesday night at Value City Arena.

Jackson shrugged off the fact he spent extra time working on his shot 24 hours after making two big baskets in the final 62 seconds against the Golden Gophers, including the winning jumper with 2.1 seconds remaining.

"I feel like if you come into the gym and you leave and you feel like you got a little bit better, then that's a good day," Jackson said. "And over time, that adds up."

Traevon Jackson has fractured foot

Wisconsin's Traevon Jackson will have surgery on his injured right foot this week, depriving the seventh-ranked Badgers of their veteran point guard in Big Ten play.

Jackson was hurt in Sunday's 67-62 loss at Rutgers. He is scheduled to have surgery on Thursday.

The team said Monday that Jackson will begin rehab in two or three weeks, but did not specify when he might return to the court. Jackson said in a statement that he was looking forward to finishing off the year. He was averaging 9.4 points and 2.9 assists.

Coach Bo Ryan relies on Jackson to take big shots late in close games. He said he is confident Jackson will play again this season.
