St. John’s, Arkansas, Providence atop Andy Katz's transfer tiers

Which men's college basketball teams have improved the most through the transfer portal? Andy Katz provides his tiers.

APRIL 21, 2022

Plans to transfer Jackson entered the transfer portal Monday and is expected to leave Michigan, Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers.com reports.

Impact A former top recruit for the Wolverines, Jackson appeared in only four games this season while missing extensive time due to an illness. Given his pedigree, Jackson is expected to command attention from plenty of Power Five programs, and as a first-time transfer, he'll be able to compete right away with his next school in 2022-23. Jackson ends his two-season run at Michigan with averages of 1.5 points and 0.9 rebounds in 6.0 minutes per game across 20 appearances.

JANUARY 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Status going forward uncertain Assistant coach Phil Martelli said that it's unclear when Jackson will return to the program, Rivals.com reports.

Impact Jackson is working through some personal things and has missed the last few games. The team is going to let Jackson take his time with this and return whenever he feels ready. The sophomore is averaging 3.3 points and 1.5 rebounds in 8.5 minutes per game this season over four appearances.

Remains out Friday Jackson (undisclosed) didn't appear in Friday's loss to Illinois.

Impact Jackson made his season debut in early December but has now missed three straight games for an unspecified reason. His next chance to return will be Tuesday against Maryland.

Won't play Tuesday Jackson will miss Tuesday's game against Rutgers, Brendan F. Quinn of The Athletic reports.

Impact While a few players appear to be sidelined for COVID-related reasons, Jackson apparently isn't on the trip for a non-COVID reason. The sophomore's absence leaves the Wolverines down some depth in the backcourt, though the rest of the backcourt is relatively healthy compared to the frontcourt options. Jackson's next chance to play arrives Saturday against Michigan.

Makes season debut Jackson (not injury related) closed with one turnover across two minutes during Wednesday's 72-51 loss to North Carolina.

Impact An unspecified illness forced Jackson to miss the first six games of the season before returning in a highly-limited capacity Wednesday. It was once expected that he would be a ball-handling option for the Wolverines, but it appears he has a long way to go to get into game shape before that becomes a realistic possibility. On the bright side, he's at least taken the first steps by catching his first official on-court action of the 2021-22 season.

Cleared but still catching up Jackson (illness) has been medically cleared to play but has not returned to the floor due to missed practice time, Daniel Dash of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Given the report, Jackson's return to action doesn't figure to be too far off. He averaged just over five minutes per game for the Wolverines a season ago but could see more work this season with multiple players from last year's squad departing for the pro ranks.

Out again Jackson (illness) is out for Tuesday's game against Seton Hall, Andrew Kahn of M Live reports.

NOVEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out of the opener Jackson (illness) will not play in the season opener on Wednesday against Buffalo.

Impact Jackson did not play in the exhibition game last week either due to this illness. He was seen in street clothes at the game, however. Jackson is unlikely to miss too much more time.

NOVEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Skipping exhibition Jackson won't play in Friday's exhibition versus Wayne State due to illness, James Hawkins of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Jackson's illness designation doesn't seem like it would be a long-term absence, but it will still be worth monitoring his status ahead of the regular-season opener Wednesday versus Buffalo. With Frankie Collins (illness) also sitting out, the Wolverines will be a bit thin in the backcourt Friday.
