Demetrius Jackson schedules official visits to Illinois and Kansas

Mishawaka Marian senior guard Demetrius Jackson said tonight that will take an official visit to Illinois the weekend of Sept. 1 and has another official visit planned to Kansas for the weekend of Oct. 27, when the Jayhawks host Texas in football for homecoming.

The 6-1 Jackson, who figures to be one of the front-runners for Indiana Mr. Basketball going into his senior season, said he also plans to take an official visit to Kentucky, but hasn't yet set a date.

"We're still looking at which schools want me to come for an official," said Jackson, who is ranked as the No. 18 prospect in the country in 2013 by ESPN.com. "I definitely want to get to Kentucky and Notre Dame. Notre Dame is right around the corner so I may not use an official there."
