Delvion Jackson is a high character young man. It's too bad that things didn't work out for him here at UCD. I wish him well wherever his journey takes him next.
I’m not sure. He was a good recruit out of Idaho and got some (minimal) time as a true freshman last year. Kind of reminds me of Fuller this year. Someone who clearly has the talent but needs to adapt to D1 speed. I was looking forward to how he developed but for whatever reason he wasn’t on the roster to start the season. Les can be a demanding and vocal coach so maybe the style just didn’t fit. We’ve lost several freshman over the years (couple of big guys last year) so it’s not too unusual.
Jackson is a very strong, athletic player but, like Oldbanduhalum stated, he didn't seem comfortable on the floor when he did get a few minutes last year. He had a bit of the "deer in the headlights" look about him and it could be that he simply didn't respond well to Coach Les' style but that pure speculation.
I see something similar happening with Caleb Fuller this year. He seemed to lose confidence as the early season progressed and was finally relegated to the bench. He's a big, strong player as well but so far his season hasn't gone as many fans had hoped it would.
his was an odd situation; he never showed up this season on the roster so it wasnt like he was going through a traditional red-shirt. looking through his twitter (not something i normally do), it looked like he was tight with many members of the team, including staff. sounds like a good kid, and he showed signs of being a quality player -> hope it all works well for him. he's having a good exit, so i think Les and company will help him find a good spot to continue his career.
