I was holding out hope for a while that the actor that played Young Jack in the episode he was cloned would end up playing an older cloned Jack in a new series. He's the right age for it now, and it would be interesting to see another Jack O'Neill who still has all the memories and training and experience of the RDA Jack, but is still a different person from the point he got cloned. It's an interesting way to get a new cast in for a new show, while having a clever way to work in some continuity with the older series, since SG-1 already laid the foundation for it.
And we know Jack was a hobbyist astronomer, so you could have Clone Jack be the scientist of the team instead of a military guy. Maybe after his second chance at high school, he decided to go into science instead of going back into the Air Force a second time. But he could still be involved in action scenes because we know he still has the skills and experience for it. And it would be a funny character thing to have the military members of the team knowing this Jack is a clone of General O'Neill and is way more training with more years of military and gate experience then them, even though this version is a civilians.
There's already an episode from SG1 where he got cloned into a teenager though, and the actor who played teenage clone Jack is the perfect age to play adult jack now though. No need to reinvent the wheel. The original already set it up.
