Elmarko Jackson is originally from Richland, New Jersey, and played his high school basketball for South Kent School in Connecticut and for the We R1 AAU program. Jackson dominated on the AAU circuit before the start of his senior season, posting 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game at the UAA Finals. “Elmarko has tremendous upside and is blessed with a ton of natural ability,” South Kent coach Raphael Chillious told ZAGSBLOG. “He hasn’t been playing the game or the position that long, but he’s a sponge and super smart, so he’s picked up the little nuances of the game very quickly. Elite level talent, scorer, competitor and extremely underrated passer.”
