The NCAA's "early" signing period tipped off today and Mike Brey's Fightin' Irish landed four high school basketball stars!
The class is ranked 10th in the nation -- we haven't seen a class as highly regarded as this in quite some time!
The class is led by a local product by the name of
Demetrius Jackson (photo on the left) -- the Marian High School standout is one of the top point guards in the country -- ranked the #26 prospect overall. He's a huge get for the IRISH. Here's a link to his HIGHLIGHT VIDEO along with a link to an impressive DUNK:
