TRY IT NOWCaptain Jack is coming home.
Ian Jackson, the explosive and gifted North Carolina transfer from The Bronx, is returning to New York City to play for Rick Pitino and St. John’s.
The 6-foot-4 guard made his decision Monday morning, picking the Johnnies over USC, Georgia, Illinois and a host of others.
“It’s going to be amazing,” the Cardinal Hayes alum told The Post in a phone interview. “I had a chance to go home and play at the Garden this past season, and the atmosphere was electric. The energy was there, the crowd kind of made me feel at home. They showed a lot of love to me. To go there and play for New York’s team will add another [layer] to it. It’s a whole different vibe. I’m looking forward to it.
