Are you sick of transfer news yet? Well, that's too bad. Clemson basketball is going to be mentioned among the potential suitors of top college hoops transfers from now until the closing of the window.
So far, we've heard about Brad Brownell and Clemson reaching out to Nick Davidson (Nevada), Nick Pringle (South Carolina), Cooper Schwieger (Valparaiso), and Malik Reneau (Indiana).
Well, you can add another name to the list, according to a recent report.
Per 247HSHoops, Clemson is one of the programs that has reached out to All-Horizon League first-teamer Jalen Jackson of IPFW.

Jackson was one of the top players in the Horizon League this season, making the all-conference first team as a junior. As a guard, he would be a nice replacement for Chase Hunter and, to a lesser degree, Del Jones. The Tigers have lost three guards so far this offseason if you also count Jaeden Zackery who is pursuing another year of eligibility still.
The IPFW transfer also won the Sportsmanship Award for the Horizon League so that shows that he's a great player and an even better person. What a fit he'd be at Clemson.
Jackson averaged a career-best 19.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.6 steals per game this past season, shooting 48 percent from the floor and 75 percent from the free throw line. He did shoot just 26 percent from three which dipped drastically from his sophomore mark of 41 percent.
The Fort Wayne, Ind., native is also drawing interest from the likes of Michigan, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Missouri, LSU, Virginia, and Memphis.
This feels like a winnable recruitment for Brownell.
