New Andre Jackson highlights

He's definitely gonna get T'd up for hanging on the rim and I am absolutely here for it

Besides the obvious teams of little competitiveness so much to see and like. Coast to coast speed is amazing and having this guy on a team that can rebound and get out will be fun to watch. He and Bouk on breaks oh wow. His ball handling is very good, will have to tighten it up in college but it's there already and can use it in crowds. He has good vision too and it certainly looks like he shoots it better, shoulder high which is fine with him because defenders will be scared of his first step so he will get it off. His shot prior to him improvement had too many moving parts he seems to have settled that down. Heck if he can shoot 33% from 3 he'll drive teams nuts trying to guard him anyway.

Pretty happy couple days around here huh? LOL

I really don't get it. I try to take off my blue shaded glasses but this guy passes the eye test in every single facet. Looks like a top 10 kid to me, easily. Don't understand the lack of hype nationally

Didn’t know where to ask...Kimani ran point on the Sanogo Recruitment, Kenya on Javonte Brown Ferguson (with his history of developing bigs, makes me even more excited about his potential long term). Who was lead on Dre?

I'm also curious. And who was the lead in recruiting Bouk?

I suspect the low level of competition that he faced most of the year had a lot to do with it. It's noticeable on the highlight video. Anyone know how he did on last summer's circuit? If he didn't wow them there for some reason when he was facing tougher competition, that could have been a factor too.

Tom lead for Akok and Andre.

Kimani led for Bouk (and Gaffney/Sanogo). He recruited him when he was at Minnesota and kept it up here.

247 has Kimani for Bouk & Jalen, but no mention on who led the Andre charge

Edit: thanks @husky429

Excuse my French but damn! What is AJ's vert?

he’s one of the best one foot dunkers I’ve ever seen but this video shows that he’s also great at jumping off two feet which translates better to games. I’m so excited for him to be a husky.

This kid has pro written all over him.

Andre Jackson has a similar ceiling to Kelly Oubre. That's a good comparison for him. He's got the goods, and being surrounded by the talent at UCONN, will only help his slashing ability and spot up shooting.

I think they hold his history of not being a good outside shooter against him. Maybe the ESPN guys saw him during this past season when he was better? Because they have him at #32, much higher than others.
