Andre Jackson: “Now I want to get another one while I’m here… only way I’m not coming back is if Coach tells me to leave”

[UChusky916]

If he's being told he's a first round pick, he should go. But him staying would be amazing.

 

[BrassBonanza]

Love it. Andre is what leadership should be. Gives everything all the time for his team!

 

[temery]

No specu... oh, never mind

Givony LOVES him.

I obviously want him back, but he could get a 1st round guarantee, and the right shooting coach could turn him into an athletic Draymond. Scary.

Whatever he chooses, he’s got our support!

 

[WrenchFan69]

Jackson improves his shot some and develops some Villanova-esc post game, he'll be the best player in the country. His handle is good enough and he's such a freak athlete, he should be able to drive on his guy pretty frequently (at least going right). If he can get to a spot where when he does get cut off, he can spin it back into a post up, holy hell what a player he would be

Wait, didn't that guy on the Syracuse board tell us Andre was going to transfer because he was sick of Hurley? Lol

 

[Dove]

He'll be back.

 

[Northbound]

He's supplanted Earl Kelley and Taliek as my favorite players.

 

[nomar]

I like that we can all have a good-natured laugh at him taking possibly the ugliest two 3-point attempts in the history of basketball tonight.

 

[Scottobot]

He doesn’t need to be a three point shooting to make NBA. Half of Arkansas roster can’t shoot 3 and are projected NBA players. If he can consistently drive to the hope, score 15 points a game that way, he would be a lottery pick. He doesn’t seem that far off from doing that. He just needs a little more touch, tricks at finishing near the hoop.

Did you see the way Dan exhorted the crowd when Andre came out of the game?

 

[Nebraskan18]

I LOVE THIS KID!!!!!

 

[AzzisBraids]

He's a pace pusher, good guard rebounder, makes real estate passes and he's extremely easy on the eyes. Andre made sure no game UConn played came close by giving the ball up to where it needed to go.

Andre was the glue that this team needed and lead them as he and Hurley kept the team focused on the goal.

 

[Rico444]

Andre is my favorite player of all-time. He has to do what's best for him and his family. Love this kid, and I'll be rooting for him the rest of his basketball career.

It makes me laugh when those hicks in Canada talk about Jackson and Hurley not getting along. I would bet there isn’t a closer player / coach relationship in college basketball. Hurley LOVES this kid, for good reason.

Get this man some NIL DOUGH!
In fact there should be an immediate push to generate opportunities for all the players now that they have a short break. Although that's probably a myth because they're constantly preparing rehabbing, etc..

I'll be starting an NIL fundraiser later today for Bleeding Blue for Good.

Let do our best to take care of our players.

With NIL a part of the game now, let's hope Andre decides that making some money here in Connecticut with a shot at defending the title is what's best for him.

 

[Mr. March]

My goodness if he ever develops a jumpshot he would take his game to an insane level. He needs to rebuild his jumper in the offseason. He has #1 pick in the draft talent except for his jumper.

 

[ForThEad]

In one of his post-game interviews Hurley was asked a general question about the team overcoming their BE slump and the first thing he highlighted was Jackson's leadership: "he's our captain."

Thanks Tom, this one looks like a winner.
