2020 Recruiting: Andre Jackson OV

[Chief00]

Trust The Grind

So true, and that’s what Chief has been advising our beloved Casual Fans to do.

 

[KembaStepback]

Assuming last night went well?

 

[Chief00]

Beautiful day and night in Storrs.

 

[Citrusdog]

That was last class - It’s a behind a door thing this year

I believe it.

 

[ctchamps]

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?

 

[BFieldHusky]

It's another beautiful morning in Storrs.

FWIW, from Corey Evans yesterday in response to who he has on commitment watch this weekend:

Also keep an eye on Andre Jackson who visits UConn this weekend, though he has another visit scheduled to Iowa next week

We need a Boneyard glossary for newbies and Casual Fans.

= In
Next = Out
Paradigm shift = Big East
Trust the grind = Whatever you want it to mean?
Beautiful morning = ?????

I hope we land Jackson if only for the fact that Syracuse has a 55 page thread dedicated to his recruitment littered with posters that don't understand 4 > 1. Will be fun to go over there and watch that thread implode.

 

[marti3td]

Does he have an announcement date set or is it just sometime after his Iowa visit?

I wouldn’t assume he makes it to Iowa. After all, the weather is so nice in Storrs

What’s their fan site?

Went back and looked at the clips of Andre. Looks like a kid who would really thrive in transition. Has good ability to score around the rim, can dribble and makes some nice passes. He seems a great fit for us, and really a poor fit for a 2-3 zone, half court offensive team at Cuse.

Definitely a kid that needs to run because he can't shoot. He would do well in a 2-3 though--plays one in HS quite a bit (and plays 2-5 defensively in man-man for them too)

Seeing a lot of folks saying "he can't shoot." Well, if he wants to make the league he damn well better learn to shoot. Great athletes who can't shoot play in the G league. All things considered, I love to have great athletes, but I'd prefer those who can dribble and shoot, and who play with intensity.

 

[Dooooooomed]

Damn. I wanted to do some yard work today, but it looks like I'll just be refreshing the-boneyard...

No, that’s a joke. Don’t go there.

100%. But to be fair if he had any semblance of a shot he'd be playing at Duke. I think he could be a good college player without it.. but a decent 3 point stroke would open up crazy space in the lane for him

Class of 2020 - SF Andre Jackson (NY) Offered

“My car battery died” sounds like an excuse you give when you don’t want to go somewhere. Cause nobody, I mean nobody EVER has jumper cables when you need 'em ;)

New mixtape for those interested. Pretty sure it shows ever 3 he made all summer lol.

The creative passing is a little more noticeable in this than other highlights. With some work on his handles, he could do damage as a point forward.

His athleticism is abnormal.

How close are we to updating the grid?
