Rooting for Andre Jackson

[ktuck911]

I'm a fan 4 life of this kid. Whether we win or lose this Providence game he showed me a lot today. Gritty young man. He's been in the lab working on his jump shot. No matter how awkward it looks it works for him. And I'm not even mentioning how athletic he is. He's a special kinda player.

Thank you Mrs. Jackson

Did you just come out of a cave? Lol. He stuffs a stat sheet but not with points.

 

[uconnflyer88]

He can't dribble, pass or shoot.....what is this thread?

He’ll be dominant in Zimbabwe in 2 years where shooting, passing, and dribbling aren’t necessary.

Actually he can do all three of those things. He was our best player today.

 

[Candyman]

Jackson hit a few threes but had some just horrible runners today that I don’t ever want to see again. He had 14 boards but like 5 were missed tip ins. Played okay. Not reason we lost.

 

[TeasedDonut]

Crazy how hard people are on Jackson. He’s one of the few guys on the team that brings something to the table every game. 14 rebounds, our best shooter today, and creates for others in transition. How about keep the complaining to guys that are actually supposed to be shooters.

So many people don't know what they're watching when they're watching a basketball game. It's wild.

 

[WestHartHusk]

He is our most impactful, overall, player. But man, we really need to work on his tap-ins...it looks like he is spiking a volleyball half the time.

Tough day to hammer on AJ. Couple early head scratching TOs but after that he was good. Rebounded better than anyone and made a couple 3s he was the least of our issues.

Neither could Lyman Depriest. What’s your point?

 

[Tenspro2002]

His defensive rebounding is terrific, but his offensive rebounding is atrocious, just awful instincts.

He never goes to grab the ball, always taps it. It never goes in and almost always goes to the opponent. Just about every play he's involved in on the offensive glass is a momentum deflater.

Could som done explain to me why you take Jackson out in the last minute down by two. He was our only consistent rebounder all night. Also Was AKOK hurt in the first half? He was anchored to the bunch in the second half.

Great game

Great Athlete - no doubt about
Not basketball player - yet
Hopefully he becomes one - very soon
But today he was better than usual

 

[ktuck911]

Andre Jackson is very unorthodox. That's what I come up with when I watch him play. He's kinda herky jerky with his movements. Because he's kinda unique, you're like "No! Don't shoot!", but then when he scores, you're at ease....BUT he's so much more than his offense. He's got confidence to who he is and what he does. Sure he's going to make a mistake here and there.... but they all do.... we all do...
I like him... a lot....

He's still learning, growing in thus game called basketball... and the scary part for everybody else is he has yet to reach his ceiling. He's getting better everyone out this year folks.

It's nice have his Swiss Army knife ability to go along with The Wrench as well as the toughness Tyrese Martin brings to table, not to mention Cole, Sanogo, and the rest of the squad.

This Providence loss is a lesson learned... Can't wait til we play them come tourney time...

 

[UConnSwag11]

I really enjoy watching him play

I agree. I walked away from today’s game being psyched about his performance. Pulling down 14 boards against that team is impressive. Add in those 3’s and he hit and the guy is on his way to becoming a force on both ends.

 

[EBonz30]

He looks to be gathering a better understanding of the game of basketball as the season goes on. I actually think he now needs to be more aggressive & realize the only other guard who can handle is Cole. Gaffney today was just so bad- was very hard to watch.

Thank you Mrs. Jackson

Assclown

 

[UConnSwag11]

How do you upload videos? I have one of that great pass Jackson had to Cole

I just don’t understand fans going after AJ with his 14 boards tonight. One of our best players now.

 

[AdamaNation]

Jackson hit a few threes but had some just horrible runners today that I don’t ever want to see again. He had 14 boards but like 5 were missed tip ins. Played okay. Not reason we lost.

Grab those hard “put back/tip ins” and we get 5 legit shots. He needs to put back dunk or just come down with the ball.

Their fingers were worn out from JG and TP so they shifted to AJ for a few shots....

Bs! He had 12 def rebounds.
