2020 Recruiting: UConn in for Andre Jackson

[superjohn]

You losers are now talking about where he announces and about attendees feeling potentially disrespected by his decision

And believe me, beating out Cuse for anything feels good. But this is a barely-top-100 recruit we’re going nuts over.

He was ranked in the 30's before the summer. I happen to love the kid's game but if you're not excited about him that's fine.

Frankly I haven’t watched his game or overall development/recruitment at all. Surprising to read that he was in the 30s. 247 just has him at 97 or something now and that’s all I really go off of

He was 49th on ESPN last week. Now 50th.

I’m more into Moore, Hunter, Young and some guy named Hurley myself.

Like others have said, if he can even develop an inconsistent jumper, he could be an early entry caliber player

ESPN had him in the 40-50 range. 247 has him at 70. It's no Zion but this is a pretty darn big recruit...

Unbelievable athlete, can play some point forward because of his handle and vision but needs a ton of work on shot. Really good rebounder and shot blocker too because of his freakish athleticism.

Don't know why he dropped this summer, maybe because of his shooting (only hit half his ft's, yikes) but averaged 15 pts and 7 rebs with a lot of blocks and steals.

ESPN's scouting report from one of the Draft Express guys that caught Jackson at the 2018 Albert Schweitzer Tournament in Germany:

NBA draft: Scouting Doncic and a potential young unicorn prospect

Mike Schmitz takes a close look at some of the top international prospects in the 2018 draft class as well as a few long-term players to watch.

Andre Jackson | 6-6 small forward | USA
The 16-year-old, explosive athlete stood out as USA's best long-term prospect. Jackson is a pogo-stick leaper with a relentless motor and an excellent feel for the game despite severe limitations as a shooter. Despite a wiry frame and average length, Jackson dominated the glass playing while putting constant pressure on the rim in transition, pushing tempo with a strong first step and providing a handful of highlight dunks. The class of 2020 prospect should see his recruitment explode this spring.

0.4 BPG in eybl. Steals numbers were terrific though

Any chance he has a sudden change of mind and picks Illinois or UK or Memphis?

 

[Walker11]

As a scientist I'm gonna compare Andre to Andre Roberson.
