2020 Recruiting: Andre Jackson

[Samoo]

Ooohh.....no more dams breaking, now we are gonna get a paradigm shift!! Can't wait to see how this will be retroactively defined!!

What next? Synchronicity? Serendipidy?

All Chief can say at the moment is that there are some outstanding recruits in the Northeast the next couple of years and rather than looking at the micro specifics right now of each player - look for a major paradigm shift to change the conversation. At that time, Chief will do some player specific deep dives.

Two thirds of this is gibberish

What we need is to rebuild that brand we had with northeast kids. One player could change our brand perception having a kid like Akok or Bouknight pan out and become a second year lottery pick would be huge for us. Maybe more important than winning games long term.

Live in the Albany area and have seen this kid play and listened to him speak. Gonna be tough to beat out Syracuse. Joe Girard played for the Albany Rocks with Jackson and is going to ‘Cuse as a MacNamara recruit. Already talking about a local bus co. Making regular trips to Syracuse. Could pick up Jackson crowd in Amsterdam, Jackson’s hometown.

I live in the area as well and spend a lot of time with high school athletic departments so I hear things - Girard's pull isn't near as strong as local media make it out to be. Yes Jackson plays on the rocks so did Isiah Stewart and Girard was trying to get him to SU, never had a chance of happening because Hop was on the west coast.

He may end up at SU, but nobody has told me or even intoned that it would be because he wants to play with Girard.

The bus co idea is the epitome of how goofy the albany area is - if the guys that are from amsterdam and are now playing at academy and cba stayed at amsterdam they would be state title contenders

Jackson is good, but why do I feel like people are higher on Jackson than Abdur-Rahim? Where do we stand with Abdur-Rahim...from what I've seen I think he is much better than Jackson.

Nobody is higher on Jackson than Abdur-Rahim, but we're not getting him

Chief is definitely playing 5D chess while we’re playing checkers

 

[QDOG5]

it was pretty good

I've been hearing that from the wife for 27 years.

Just two-thirds? It is a master work of ambiguity and suggestion entirely devoid of content. I don't think Chief's ability to suggest much but say nothing is fully appreciated on the board.

Maybe it's time to give it another go?

So 5D ... height, depth, width, and time... and an alternate dimension in which none of those apply. You know, that actually works.

So, what you are suggesting is that UConn will indeed fill their open scholarships but we just have no idea with who. I guess that is good news.

Bigger news than that.

Hes at Uconn right now...

So the "Amsterdam Express" is a strong indication that his commitment is in the bag? Really?

He wants to give the staff the good news in person

 

[aburks41]

Kinda odd he would be on campus if he wasn't going to commit, right? He already used his OV here and there was no announcement anywhere of him taking an UV here today

 

[Huskyforlife]

It's cool he's working out with the guys too, lock him up!

 

[Huskyforlife]

I doubt he'd post that if he were going to commit, ruins the surprise.

 

[Chief00]

Personally, I think 120% of his post is jibberish. All his posts actually. Except the Bunkey ones.....those are 100% real. Which just makes the guy even creepier.

Aren’t you embarrassed? LOL - he’s at UConn as you are typing it’s all nonsense. I wasn’t going to reveal that for competitive purposes but he just did on social media.

Chief, is in the fast lane, you are in the breakdown lane (along with your pal Jim B @ Cuse)

Some day these dudes may start to read between the lines with Chief. Some dude was even talking about a bus company impacting recruiting while guys going to other schools get cars. Buses ? Come on.

Wow that’s amazingly good.

@Chief00 with the mic drop Heismaning the non-believers on the Yard.
