We've seen a lot of players come through our doors over the years, varying in appearance, skill level, and everything in between. We decided to put forth a 'Getting to Know' series on some players who have attended events but still remain on the lesser-known side of things. Each of these prospects embody being a student-athlete and getting it done in the classroom as well as on the basketball court, and today's edition will take a closer look at Cooper Jackson of Reagan High School.

We've seen Jackson excel throughout the travel ball season, most recently stating, 'There was no shortage of excitement during Team Bond's journey to the championship, which featured an incredibly productive weekend from Cooper Jackson. As their primary interior piece, he was a double-double machine in basically every showing. Jackson is a strong, athletic post prospect with a sturdy frame and the ability to play through contact on both ends of the floor. He displayed solid touch around the basket, but also genuinely looked to dunk everything. Jackson's high motor paired with his tough, blue-collar approach made him undeniably valuable to the success of this group. He plays so hard and is clearly willing to make hustle plays whenever possible. Jackson is a great two-way rebounder who utilizes positioning, his body, and nose for the ball to consistently outwork opponents. He understands and embraces his identity as well as anyone in the gym, and doesn't need a ton of touches to make an impact. Jackson maximizes his role, consistently produces, and will be a prospect for various schools to monitor going forward.'

Though he was already a useful piece for the Raiders last season, folks should expect to see Jackson's production expand even more going forward. He's a big, strong, blue-collar post prospect who possesses a high motor, plays bigger than his size, and naturally makes hustle plays on both ends of the floor. Jackson doesn't even necessarily need offensive touches to make his presence felt, given his incredible active presence on the glass and ability to capitalize on second-chance points with relative ease. He's a great athlete with the ability to regularly fight through contact or play above the rim. Jackson is the type of rugged, team-oriented player that can carve out a quality role with any collection of teammates. Expect him to be very productive going forward.
