He wouldn't take up a basketball scholarship, so I'm sure McCullum will be happy to have him and use him as needed.

I think McCullum was going to go watch him play the other day according to an article I read.

Here was mention of that:

In basketball, Jackson averaged 18.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game with 68 assists, 77 steals and 16 blocked shots his senior year.

"The coaches (at USF) told me they were going to work me at receiver and quarterback and whatever happens, happens," Jackson said. "I chose USF because I've had a good relationship with a lot of the coaches since high school.

"They are moving into the Big East and will play Miami. ... That is a big thing."

Jackson says he's gotten the approval of USF head football coach Jim Leavitt and head basketball coach Robert McCullum to play both sports.

"Coach Leavitt told me he was cool with it and just to make sure I focus on football with off-season workouts," Jackson said.

Riverview High head basketball coach Jim Ward said he spoke to McCullum and the Bulls coach said he was not opposed to a person playing football and basketball.

"I talked with coach McCullum and they are waiting to go see him play.

"But he said he was OK with Amarri playing two sports," Ward said. "Penn State was also recruiting Amarri for basketball. Georgia wanted Amarri for football out of high school, but we felt it was best for him to play basketball because you get better supervision with only 12 players and that is what he needed then."

Maybe he can compte in track as well. Sounds like he has a shot at the olympics if he is already jumping 25 feet.  ;D

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
