Jackson is so good…

[T-Squared]

He does so much for this team: tough defender, active rebounder, confident distributor, good free throw shooter. Doesn’t have to score to be a dominating force on the floor. So lucky to have him.

 

[Umami Zen]

Hawk soaring..Sanogo grinding ..Jax disrupting.. Karaban -key boards.. Team hustling..all good

 

[tzznandrew]

There are just so many players to love on this team.

It's the first team in a while where most of the key rotation guys would get real minutes on a classic UConn team.

 

[Dove]

Been preaching this for years. He is...

...well, you know.

 

[Dove]

Andre to Sanogo!!!!!!!

 

[youseethat]

His energy / tenacity fuels the team, not to mention the fan base. It’s invigaron-ating

 

[Valleyfan]

Been a real fun team to watch this year. Impressive all around - defense, offense, shooting, intensity, coaching, bench players, etc., etc.

 

[Palatine]

Loved opening the game with the lob to Dre.

 

[Spaceman213J]

I loved how high he put the alleyoop to Sanogo. He cleard Cisse and put it where only Sanogo could get it and the rotating defensive player had no chance.

Many have talked about Ajax and how if even developed a servicable mid range jumper and more consistency from outside he will be a star no doubt. At the very least, he is an ultimate glue guy. He does everything else on the floor and you tell the other guys love playing with him.

Some unbelievable pinpoint passes tonight

If he had even Newtons offensive game he`d be in the running for #1 pick in the draft. It is insane how great he is at everything except shooting the ball. Hes coming along and learning how to get his which is a great sign though. If Samson comes back and can defend, rebound and block shots he will be a great compliment to Ajax who will be able to lob it up for him all day.

I’ve been saying all summer how I couldn’t wait for the team to be his. I’ve said what I was wrong about so allow me to take a moment to be right about my confidence in Jackson and Hawkins. With it without the jumper for Jackson.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

There are times when he's like a Looney Tunes character who shows up in one frame, then pops up moments later in a not-nearby frame, and even sometimes a third location.

It was pretty apparent right from the tip that Alex was going to have a hard time with Boone, who seemed to have 50 lbs and a couple of inches on him. We could have used Samson, but I was a little surprised Danny didn't try Adama and Donovan together for a bit. It seemed like it might have worked for several minutes.

 

[Waquoit]

It was two diferent UConn squads tonight. When AJ was playing and when AJ was sitting.

 

[Sole]

I bet those 15 nba scouts at the game where impressed

 

[Chin Diesel]

How good is he?

Dang it makes me feel a bit old knowing how to correctly answer the title of this thread.

 

[uconnever]

Speed, power, vision, tenacity, I see it now! Per Bill Walton.

 

[Waquoit]

He's a player that even fans of the other team ends up liking.

 

[Huskyforlife]

he’s gonna be a draft pick if he keeps producing like this.

Boone was very good out there, that was NOT a bunch of stiffs we played last night but…we have Andre Jackson. We’ve never had anyone like him that plays with that athleticism and intensity the whole game. You watch him beat out other players to the ball, including his own. And basically without a shot. Unreal.

 

[BGesus4]

Good thing he wasn’t a good enough athlete to play in the Syracuse zone

 

[imno1]

Truely a unicorn - with great hair

 

[Vancat]

Super exciting player. He's a super hero.

Hair kind of reminds me of Jimi Hendrix.. The Jimi Hendrix (Andre Jackson) Experience.. Purple Haze lyric.."Scuse me while I kiss the sky"

 

[Captbluefin]

AJ has been much better at making good decision with the ball. That was always my issue with him.

I give him credit he has worked hard cleaned it up.

 

[Sibeerian]

Jackson also thrives when he's surrounded by players who can do something with his brilliant passes.

That might have been part of his decision making improvement.

Oh! That's what he's saying! All these years I thought Jimi Hendrix was gay.

 

[PNolanFan]

I feel pretty confident at this point that he will either be a draft pick this year or he will come back and be an all american so either way it will help the program
