2020 Recruiting: UConn in for Andre Jackson

[QuickDraw]

Just what I’m hearing...typically this guy gives me good info. I’d be glad to be wrong. This is my guy who called the Akok and Cole commitments.

Well I do hope this isn't the case but we still have the OV coming up and maybe his last so hopefully we can flip that switch and nail down this kid

Tell him to call this one too

Last year we had the 18th ranked class and they had 32nd. Can’t wait to see the gap this year

 

[Scrutineer]

How can these guys just change their crystal ball picks when it seems like everybody knows what's going to happen and have it not hurt their crystal ball accuracy? Seems like a flawed system to me. If that's all it takes to be considered an "insider" for rivals or 247 I could do it.

They're using the Joe Lunardi method. Every day his list changes.

Not too surprised by this. After his visits here the feeling was that we had him, but he took other visits including I think Syracuse recently. He is a NY State ball player, born and bred, and the word was always I think that he was headed to Syracuse, and there is pressure from within his state to go to Syracuse.
Thing is though Syracuse and a seriously aging Boehiem are a program on the downhill slide, there's no way around it. Conversely, UConn has already made a coaching change, new blood, a fast rising coach in Danny Hurley, and a program on the verge of breaking back into the nation's elite. That's two in a row now, Akok and Jackson. We're sittin up top now.

Albany ain’t NEW YORK. Not Syracuse. The history of top ball players from Albany - except the GRREAT Craig Forth - is all over. Perkins to UNC. Jimmer to BYU. Huerter to Maryland. Sidney Edwards to Houston. Ticky Burden to Utah. Lamar Odom (Prep) to URI/UNLV. Etc

There’s simply no great pull to Cuse. Siena? The real college ties - including many Refs you know by name - are Siena friends.

Much love to the 9 of you who get the original "Cam" reference here.

Hopefully this will be our theme song. "The sun is out, the sky is blue...........raining in my heart".

So Lane canceled his visit this weekend...going along with Andre Jackson narrative today. Cam and Cliff need full court press.

Cliff and Cam would be IDEAL as a big man, heir apparent to Carlton, and a shooter/scorer are the 2 most obvious holes on the 2020 roster. Big man being the most glaring need.

OT little known Albany great... Lionel chalmers led us to the elite eight in 04. Cousin of Mario, he was unstoppable in the tournament. We’d have played you guys if we got past duke.

Carry on. Exciting to see you guys pull in Jackson and hopefully the big guy. Jackson was aau teammates with one of our 2020 commits and one of butlers as well. Lots of city rocks guys have committed to the big east in the last few years

Always looking for more shooting, elite shooting at that, but we shouldn't be too bad in that dept in 2020 as it stands.

Bouk, Gaff, Cole, Polley, and Akok should likely all be able to shoot pretty well at that point.

We heard the same about Andre a week ago. And I’ll say the same thing I said then TRUST THE GRIND. Thanks for the inside info. Let’s hope Can swings our way too

As stars with trains of fire and dews of blood,
Disasters in the sun; and the moist star
Upon whose influence Neptune's empire stands
Was sick almost to doomsday with eclipse:
And even the like precurse of fierce events,
As harbingers preceding still the fates
And prologue to the omen coming on,
Have heaven and earth together demonstrated
Unto our climatures and countrymen...

I hear ya, my understanding though was that this player, Andre Jackson, was always perceived as being a strong Syracuse lean.

Then I really hope Andre Jackson has a verbal with the staff because otherwise I don't like this

Agreed with Jackson and a big our roster is pretty solid top to bottom for 2020. If you were to then look for the next area of need as we will have at least 1 more scholarship available... a 12-15 point a night shooter/scorer to replace CV would probably be it. But you’re right it’s not a dire need, like a center is.

They probably told Lane that Jackson committed and he can still take the visit or cancel it and use it on another school.

It’s Hamlet.

If you need some light reading I suggest reading Austin verse 3 chapter 16. It’s good stuff.

That scenario would make sense. Just hope AJ is solid with his word and people aren't in his ear telling him to flip

 

[Scrutineer]

The GI (giddiness index) was off the charts yesterday in spite of no commitment as yet and now the cancellation of a visit by a player many were touting yesterday as a surprise possibility might mean a 180 to depths of despair tomorrow.
