Rick Jackson was a wide bodied forward and center for Syracuse basketball. Jackson was a solid rebounder with a nice shooting touch near the basket.
Jackson was a high school classmate and teammate of Scoop Jardine, and the two came to Syracuse at the same time. Jackson was a valuable reserve on the team his freshman season, playing in every game and providing backup to Arinze Onuaku at center, and Kris Ongenaet at forward.
Jackson would start his sophomore season as one of the top reserves on the team. He would become the starter against Memphis when Onganaet was benched due to his court struggles, and Jackson showed he earned to be in the starting rotation. He was a solid rebounder, and very good at making the high percentage shot near the hoop, making 62% of his shots, one of the best percentages in school history. Jackson was not nearly as good at the free throw line as he struggled to get to 48%.
