I talked with future Lobo Georonika Jackson and her high school coach for a story that is slated to run in Thursday's Tribune.
She was a little harder to track down than most recruits thanks to the her late signing, which landed really close to the end of the school year, and her unusual first name.
I was stumped for awhile that a Lobo recruit would have absolutely nothing written about her, especially one so close to Houston with massive preps coverage offered by the Houston Chronicle.
Then I spelled her name the way it sounds, dropping the first "o," and the flood gates opened.
I figured UNM must have spelled her name wrong on the news release announcing her signing, but it turns out reporters have been spelling Georonika's name wrong the entire time she was a four-year starter for Class 5-A Elkins High.
I'll do my best not to make the same mistake.
So, check out Thursday's Trib for our long-overdue first profile of Georonika Jackson.
