2006 PROSPECT: McKinley will be led by three senior forwards — 6-7 Raymar Morgan, 6-6 Ricky Jackson and 6-5 Todd Brown. All three are high flyers who can do a variety of things well.  Jackson and Brown are both being recruited by Miami.  Las season, Jackson averaged 13.4 points and 6.1 rebounds, while Brown averaged 9.0 points and 4.9 boards.  Ricky transferred to McKinley from Louisville St. Thomas Aquinas before his Junior season and is considered one of the most athletic players in the entire state.  Jackson is a hard-nosed basketball player who does so in an exciting fashion. Aside from his several highlight dunks, Jackson also shows a little more of an outside shot to his repertoire, which already included the dunks and aggressive rebounds.  Hoopscoop has Ricky ranked the #182 player in then nation.  Interest by Miami, Arizona, UC, Florida St, Michigan, NC St, St. Joe’s, Syracuse
