What a great addition to our basketball team. No ESPN, no Skype, no cameras, no hats lined up and teasing before he picked up a Duke hat. Just a simple announcement that he wants to play at Duke. Integrity and character. We're getting more than just a great basketball player folks we're getting a great and outstanding young man at Duke who may stay 3 to 4 years. DI friends we're gonna love this kid. OFC
Another big get for Coach and crew. He really seems like a "Duke kid" with his mix of skill and character. K is really on a roll. Awesome time to be a fan.
Pretty exciting time to be a Duke fan. While we are all excited about 2016/17, this year is sneaking up on us.
Impressive handle. Plays best in biggest games. 20+ average against Smith, Simmons et.al
Dont think he'll be here more than 2 years, but he is an absolute high character kid and is a complete Stud on the court. WELCOME FRANK JACKSON! GO DUKE!
Hmmmm....

Don't want to diminish power of Coach K and the Duke brand, but the job @jeffcapel is doing on recruiting is impressive. Relentless!

Is there enough "WIN" in this article? I can never tell...
“It’s every kids dream to be able to play basketball for coach K and be a Duke Blue Devil.
“It’s Duke Basketball,” Jackson said when pushed about why he opted for the Blue Devils. “The history behind the school is amazing. They’ve had so much success. They’ve been a powerhouse for so many years now.”
“Coach K is one of the greatest coaches of all time,” he added. “Playing for him is a true honor.
He’s going to make me a better basketball player and he’s going to get my body ready for the next level.
“Coach K lets his players play,” Jackson said. “He gives them a lot of freedom and at the end of the day with Duke basketball the players buy into his game plan and the situations they are in. They play together as a team and they win. We’ve seen the results of that the past couple years and the championship they just had this past year.”

I was just thinking of how great a Coach we have in Coach K who is the G.O.A. T. But just think how much greater he could be if he could just recruit. 
I love Duke basketball and Coach K. Guys let us seize the moment. We are witnessing the greatest times right now. Happy to be a very small part of it but none the less a part of it. OFC

This has really got to piss off any Heel reading our responses. Let it soak in. National Champs and pulling away in recruiting. Ouch.
Just another day....
Welcome aboard, Frank! Can't wait to watch him wearing that Duke blue.
Welcome aboard, Frank! Can't wait to watch him wearing that Duke blue.
do not know about that Show the experts at THR that getting players like Tatum,Jackson, and Giles will lead to our doom. Have they ever been wrong. lol
no other way to put it, this is such a huge pick up for what could potentially be the best class Coach K has ever put together. It's just so great to be a Dukie right now. I'm still basking in the glory of our last Championship and may not have to wait long to be soaking up another!
It's so good to be a Dukie right now!
It's so good to be a Dukie right now!
It's pretty scary. The 2016-17 class could legit be the best he's ever had.
I wanna know what Giles is thinking right now. "Do I want to share a room with my buddy Tatum or do I want to have to room all by myself in Roy's pot house?"
Welcome to the club, Mr. Jackson! Thank goodness Roy didn't want him.
Does he have a nickname? If he doesn't maybe we can call him 'Action Jackson'.

BU-BU-BUT HARRISON BARNES REMEMBER GUYS!?!?!?
We are Duke boys! We have the best coaches in America, the best team in America, the best fans in America, the best school in America! And we get the best players in America! This is what Frank Jackson remembered when he decided to pick his college destination. This is what we should always remember.
We are the best and boy does it feel good! Very glad this kid picked Duke, don't know much about him, but if he's a Blue devil, well, that tells me all I need to know!

That nickname has my vote. He will be forcing the action for sure.
Yeah, I remember the movie 'Action Jackson' back in the 80's with Carl Weathers. I think there is a newer movie called 'Action Jackson, but I haven't seen it.
I'm looking forward to seeing Jackson in Action!

Well, it's just not a good time to be a "Duke" hater!!! Wow, welcome aboard Mr. Jackson, you have made a very good choice. Now, Harry Giles, come on down!!!!
Duke is scary enough as it is, if you come, Duke will be terrifying!!!!! This is going to be fun to watch folks!!! Be ready to "hang on" for a great ride!!
Go Duke!!

Yeah, that would be something. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Something tells me we don't land both Bolden and Gabriel, but you never know. As it stands right now I love our chances with Giles.
