The following comments taken from Adam Nicholson over at Beaverbiltz....May 23rd....
"Another female that the Beavers' staff appears to be zeroing in on is Detroit's Rickea Jackson. A consensus 5* wing, Jackson is similar is size to Taya Corosdale but is more of an attacker on offense, choosing to dribble drive more often than settle for jumpers. An elite athlete, she could be the nation's best athlete in the '19 class."
And, as a follow up to questions about the recruitment of Kennedy Brown, Nicholson added this info:
"Kennedy Brown is another name to keep an eye on, although she plays the same position as Taylor and with the 2018 class adding two post players as well in 5* Andrea Aquino and 3* Patricia Morris, not sure how actively the Beavs are recruiting Brown now. Brown is a 5* on Hoopgurlz and 4* on Prospects Nation. She had narrowed down her list to 7 back in March and included the Beavs in that list. Tennessee, Oregon, Oklahoma, Baylor, UCLA and Louisville also made the cut. The big out of Kansas does know Taylor and her family and that tie could keep the Beavers involved for the long run." -------- AN also made reference to Kemery Martin's visit to OSU (the same weekend that Taylor Jones visited) but he claims he has not been able to confirm anything first-hand with her as yet. Evidently Martin is saying very little to anyone about her OSU visit - assuming she actually was on campus....
If anyone has further info on Rickea Jackson I think a lot of us would be interested in learning more....I know I would. A 5* athletic slasher would be a great addition to the current roster.... GO BEAVS !!

I looked at some of her Youtube video. She is fast, quick, a pretty good ballhandler, and she has good vertical jump. She puts the ball up quickly after receiving it. Yes, her skills would be huge help.

First I’m hearing about the Beavs going after Rickea Jackson, and I’d have to guess at #9 on Hoopgurlz every major school is going after her. Would be a huge get for the program.
“Rickea Jackson (MI), espnW #9 — UCLA, Georgia, Miami (FL), Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Rutgers, Tennessee, Texas“
List of in-house visits for Rickea but was posted March 2018
