The talk of Brian Jackson in the Ethan Thompson thread got me to do a little research and I found this article. It's an interesting read. I was young when Jackson played for the Beavers but I still remember watching him. Clearly a talented player but it seems he rarely played against top level talent before OSU and that definitely hurt his game both physically and mentally. www.espn.com/espn/magazine/archives/news/story?page=magazine-19990809-article36

Brian was a solid player all around player who unfortunately played during a tumultuous era of OSU hoops. Thanks for linking the article. Brought back some memories.

Brian Jackson would have been great if he'd have ever been able to play healthy. He played through some tremendous pain at times - I'd watch him come out of the game and be doubled over in the storage room in the corner of the baseline - and then head back to the bench and sub back in.
