Holy moly we are living in this kids backyard.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Are we being this aggressive to lock down next year early or is he a potential reclassification candidate

Just getting a good start on the 2020 class.

 

[BFieldHusky]

I think we're in a really good spot here.

This.

Give credit for Coach Hurley's growth spurt at his age. He's 6'6 now because Andre's bio has him at 6'6 too!

Oh well he's young hope he catches up on the mau-surement scale!

Fits the description of the big wing Hurley wants for the 2020 class.

 

[tzznandrew]

This is good news. I like good news.

I'd also say it's important to note who is in this thread at this point. Just sayin'.

 

[mauconnfan]

I’m sure the kid is really good and Lord knows we need really good players. Only small issue is he’s a “small wing” or is it possible he’s a 2G? I mean he’s the same size as Bouknight maybe smaller by looking at him next to coach. Would like to see an actual 6’6-6’7 wing. Maybe a bad angle? Anyway good to hear some positive news as far as where we stand for now with him.

That's the kid who sent the tweet. Andre Jackson is significantly bigger than Bouknight. He's built like a young Vince Carter.

This.

Still very early. Most likely will have a monster summer and more top tier ACC and Big 10 teams will try and poach.

But better right?

Andre is 6'7 or 6'8 ish right now. A lot like Polley right now body wise except with insane hops. And no shot.

Expect a taller Sid. Lower skilled but insane potential. Hirley's defensive system relies on uber athletic wings to help constantly. Should be a good fit.

 

[HawkHusky]

Would be extra so sweet to land a Top 40 recruit in Cuse's backyard.

 

[ccsuphanner]

Somebody in this thread thinking the picture of the kid who sent the tweet was Andre Jackson is amazing.

Lower skilled than Sid? Honestly I’d pass if that’s true. Sid is crazy athletic but May struggle to see the court consistently die to his lack of fundamental basketball skills. If we are talking about someone who has to develop even more than that, Yikes. Cant bank on the chances of that coming to Fruition. Of course, if he comes as part of a class loaded with other 5 stars, then sure

Can’t shoot? Really don’t need another have one. But I trust the staff, I think.

Jackson is a whole different type of athlete than Sid, he's a total freak. He's our top priority in the class and I think we get him.

Not that low skilled. Better shot too, I believe. Obviously hard to compare. Meant to say he's lower skilled than an average D1 guy. Only Williams is lower skilled than Sid

Syracuse board is saying they expect him to announce Peach Jam this summer in July/August.

Andre is a much different athlete than Sid. Andre is more explosive, nimble, and better lateral movement. Andre is a future NBA pro when her realizes how good he can be. I have seen both Sid and Andre in high school. Andre is far more advanced. He doesn't shoot a lot of jump shots but he displayed a nice stroke this year and he did show flashes of being able to dribble. Not saying he is great at both but there is potential there. He didn't get a lot of minutes in AAU last year and during the high school season his team(Many of the upstate teams) play zone so he didn't really have a chance to show all his skill set. But, I expect him to explode this year on the circuit. He is the player I want most next year and would fit nicely at wing along Gaff & Bouk. Trust me you want this kid.

Thanks for the nice review of the young man. I certainly want him but even more than his explosiveness I want him to be able to make shots and handle the ball as a wing so hopefully he's putting in the the time to make him a huge factor.

Copycat.

Hope someone else is driving the car.
