2020 Recruiting: Andre Jackson

[David 76]

Taking a pre in the corner?

Should I have said urinating?

 

[WrenchFan69]

If I am Danny, I am making Andre VERY aware that Tyus Battle and Oshae Brissett did not get drafted after playing zone at Syralose.

But Bazley got $1m from New Balance and a guaranteed NBA contract for NOT going to Cuse

Reading Syracuse’s Darius Bazley thread is an all timer. One dude said he would be flipping burgers by thirty for not coming to Syracuse.

Yes sir - you got them in the right order. Facts.

 

[kansashusky]

Andre like a couple tweets about UConn to the NBE.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Good shape here.

 

[mauconnfan]

Good shape here.

Has he improved his shot at all? I've seen video's and admit to being afraid of the fact he may never find even a mid range game with that release. A good kid and athletically unlimited but not big enough not to get by without a shot. Rahim looks like a better fit but I would love to be wrong.

I only know what I read here about Jackson and he seems like a nice player with a high ceiling. But most say he can’t shoot a lick what makes a wing like this so desirable if he can’t shoot the ball? Just curious on some thoughts...

 

[Kenny11]

My God, what an athlete.

 

[Chief00]

I like the fire. Can't teach that.

 

[superjohn]

My God, what an athlete.

 

[Com'rGordon]

might be the most disrespectful thing I've ever seen

 

[bendm]

i'd love hurley's first signing- post big east announcement- to be from Syracuse's backyard.

 

[HuskyFich]

Good shape here.

Haven’t said anything about NBE yet because it just gets lost in the threads but this is the value that it brings initially....another selling point for Danny Boy

 

[auror]

Holy that chasedown block, loose ball recovery, then dunk is a hell of a sequence.

 

[mauconnfan]

He can fly, he can pass something tough to find these days no doubt. That take to the left side kinda faked the pass and changed from right hand to left to lay it in his head was on the rim kid flies. I mean the ceiling is way up there but my question is can he shoot? You have to make shots to get those looks the next level, not always but to hit the ceiling you will need to.

Agree. Someone should make a mixtape of all the open missed shots taken by Sid.

I'm not being picky or busting balls the kids a stud now how could I even be pissed if we get him. But I just have a preference for a kid who can make shots and take it to the hole, doesn't make Andre less of a win for us I just think the game has evolved to shooters being a priority. Man he's impressive though.

 

[UconnU]

Either Jackson or JAR at that wing spot they’re looking to fill would be a huge land for the program. With that said my money is on JAR being the better college player. If Jackson was smart he’s come here though; he needs to play in a VERY uptempo offense that does most of its damage in transition, like Uconn.

Yeah. If we land him and we have a good shooting team overall it would probably be fine though as the slashing freak athlete surrounded by shooters. He’s an impact player regardless but of course, he should be working to improve his shot.

Polley is a shooter. Sid is an athlete. Their shortcomings hurt the team. Jackson’s game is exciting without a doubt but a really poor shooter puts a lot of pressure on the other four players in a half court offense.

Cuse fans have spent the last few days bad mouthing “Yukon” and the Big East in their Jackson recruitment thread, reassuring each other that they are “not worried”....

They are so insecure. With good reason. Its so bad up there they lose guys to the draft who in turn go undrafted.
