Dante Jackson 6-foot-5 guard, Xavier
Everyone in the Atlantic Ten knew about Stanley Burrell and Drew Lavender. They were both 1000+ point scorers and led Xavier to the Elite 8 last year. Both are gone and sophomore Dante Jackson is primed and ready to step into the guard position. While only a sophomore, Jackson will be Xavier’s most experienced returning guard (along with Indiana transfer Jordan Crawford, whose eligibility for this season is still in question). While he didn’t put up eye-popping numbers a year ago (only 2.4 points per game), his size and quickness make him a tough match up. The former Rivals.com Top 100 recruit earned valuable minutes and experience in the Musketeers run to the Elite 8 a year ago, and with the grooming of head coach and Big East all-time assist leader Sean Miller, Jackson should emerge as a solid guard this season, and a great guard in the future.
