The Jacksons

I'm sitting at a youth camp in Ephraim Utah and listening to Frank Jackson's parents speak.

His mom just said Stanford is her number 1 choice. His father mentioned how impressed he is with Coach K, but he didn't give an opinion on where he wants Frank to go.

Frank's father also mentioned that BYU is still in the hunt. He said that they want him to go where he can make the most difference on and off the court. A mission is still in Frank's plans.

On a side note, both are impressive speakers. They are entertaining and motivating.

This is my first post, so be nice. Don't shoot the messenger.

That said, I agree with you. BYU is still WAY better.
