Editor's note: The 2016-2017 college basketball season will be the "Year of the Freshmen", featuring what could be the best class we've ever seen. Over the next two weeks we will get familiar with the best of the best, examining who they are and where each of the top 10 prospects in the 2016 ESPN 100 came from.
Frank Jackson rose quickly up the 2016 rankings after a stellar spring and summer on the AAU circuit -- and became one of the most sought-after prospects in the class once he decommitted from BYU in November 2014. Right as his senior season began, Jackson committed to Duke -- and once Derryck Thornton Jr. transferred in April, having Jackson on the team became that much more important for coach Mike Krzyzewski.
