I'm just so happy that his talent isn't going to be squandered in a zone defense.

Staff thinks he can be an elite defender from day one because of his size, quickness and ability to guard multiple positions. If he can become an average shooter, he will be a lottery pick.

Is it fair to say similar skill set to Hami Daillo? Suspect outside shot but through the roof athletic.

This makes sense to me... what made Hami a top 10 recruit compared to AJ’s top 75?
I would give the athleticism advantage to AJ.
What does Hami do better?

Hamidou was a significantly better scorer but I agree Andre is even more athletic. Jackson was ranked like 35th in the country last year, I don't know why he dropped.

Had to be his shooting. Only made one 3 all season, 47% from the line. Something he definitely needs to work on. His only real weakness.

Yea his shooting needs work to say the least but his other stats were great led his team in points scored, rebounds and steals, 2nd in blocks and assists, 52% from the field, was their best defender. If he gets his shot down he’s in the league.

Let's be honest that's a pretty huge weakness. That said, I'm happy we have him.

They are working on his shot mechanics. It's going to take time. Coaches are working with his hs coach.

Agreed but it's only reason why he isn't a top 10 recruit going to Duke or Kentucky.
Yep, and be will be dunking all over those fools next year in the final four

Lol that was just sick. Link below starts at Andre's dunks:
Man, Andre, Bouk, and Akok with RJ, Adams, Polley, and Carlton. There's a whole lot of ways those guys can beat you. Plus Springs, Javonte Brown Ferguson, Sid, and Whaley. You have to love what Hurley is building.

I'll keep saying it...if this guy can become even an average shooter he's a top 10 recruit.
