Dom Amore: Sophomore Andre Jackson embracing the challenge, responsibility of being ‘that guy’ for post-pandemic UConn men
“To be honest, I feel like I didn’t do enough last year,” Jackson said, in an interview with The Courant last week. “I didn’t do enough to win games that we should’ve won down the stretch. That feeling has fueled me since the day our season ended, since the day we lost the Big East championship, since the day we left the hotel at March Madness.”
“I wake up around 7 or 8, go to gym,” Jackson said. “Eat, shoot, probably get 300, 400, 500 makes in, then study hall. Then go back and shoot, more of a live, full speed shooting drill, get another 300 makes up. I try to get as close to 1,000 makes a day as I can, just developing that touch, developing that feel for the basketball. I always have the basketball in my hand, even if I’m not in the gym. I always have it around me. Like Pistol Pete [Maravich] said, the ball has to be an extension of your hand.”
