A Kane with a Matt Thomas jumper would be ideal.
Essentially, me, back in my prime.
Jackson doesn't need to learn quickly. He just played a full year of D1 basketball, was the 6th man and was tutored by Morris. You aren't going to find a better PG than him on the grad transfer market. Wigginton is close to being a 5 star you probably and I doubt you could find grad transfers better then him on the market. Especially because the good ones want to come in and be assured to start. That won't happen here.
Also, why do they need a stretch/point 4?
Here's my logic for my absolutist "Wigginton is the PG of the future" stance:
Prohm is a Point Guard Coach. He's had tremendous success with his point guards - and, with the exception of last year, his PG has always led the team in scoring. His "style" is a high-scoring PG on the ball as the focal point, then the rest of the offense built off of that with shooters on the wing and athletes in the post. Wigginton is the highest rated recruit Prohm has ever signed - he's going to play Prohm's premier position. He may be outscored by Jackson next year, they may split time at the point, but I think it's unimaginable that Wigginton doesn't follow Canaan, Payne and Morris in the line of Prohm PGs.
Sorry if i didn't make it clear. I was trying to say that i thought we were good with guards. I think we should pass on Wilson because I would rather look for more front court players.
Also don't think he is that good. He played less when the team got better and he isn't a good shooter. No thanks
If I were Prohm, I would take the best available, period.
Wigginton, McNeill, Jackson, Babb and Long can all play multiple positions.
If you can land Juiston, and then the best available Juco/transfer guard/wing, we will have plenty of pieces to compete next year.
If it's a PG, that's ok since Wigginton and Jackson can both score in bunches off the ball.
If it's a wing, that's great because Babb can play anywhere from the 1-4 if needed.

Jackson is now the best shooter on the team. We've heard Jake Sullivan say he plays the best in the off guard spot. Why do we need to turn him into the PG if we could have a couple of other guys in that role? Doesn't make sense to me unless you can bring in another shooter which is better than DJack. Not likely.
Handle the ball similarly and about the height of Kane plus a MT jumper? I think he's Hoiberg.
Between Wigginton, Jackson, and Weiler-Babb, I'm completely confident in whomever is going to bring the ball down the court on any given set. Jackson has the confidence, speed, and shooting ability to take the reins on an ISO set, Babb seems to have pretty good vision even if his hands aren't quite as steady as Monte's, and I'm sure Wigginton will get all the opportunities he can handle from Prohm to play on and off the ball.
Several posters across the threads seem to be concerned over Jackson's size, even Gray mentioned it on the most recent ep. of "2 Grays". Where's this coming from? Jackson is certainly not Monte, but he is every bit as big as Monte, and arguably even quicker.
I'll call/tweet Prohm right now and reaffirm our need for all the juco and grad transfer SF/PF experience we can get.

Might be Sullivan's opinion but might not be Prohm's. I actually like Jackson at the point when Monte was out. Think of the Miami game or the Nevada game when Monte sat out that big stretch in the second half.
I get the thinking that maybe PG is something we already have covered, but with what we're losing for contributors, I don't think that "just grab the best talent you can and sort it out in the fall" is a terrible philosophy. This isn't like the last few years where there was only 1 specific hole we were trying to fill in.
