2020 Recruiting: UConn in for Andre Jackson

[olehead]

This is a narrative that writes itself. UConn “back in the Big East” and back to winning. Those of us who follow the program, we know that there were a lot more moving pieces, the biggest of which being Hurley coming to Storrs. If all goes well, we will likely be poised to make a pretty big splash in our first year in the NBE. Hurley will have his type of personnel, who will be familiar with his system. The timing is just about perfect.

The talking heads love simplified storylines. That is going to work in our favor, for once

Middle-browers tend to think Hurley + Big East was part of the conversation leading up to the day Hurley announced to become the coach. Hurley knows he can program-build on his NE roots and the Big East is a much easier sell to recruits in the NE-Mid Atlantic footprint.

For 1st BE season (potentially):
C Carlson. Backup Omoruyi (potentially).
PF Akok. Backup Richie.
SF Jackson (potentially). Backup Wilson. Or does Jackson backup Wilson? Neither can shoot at this point.
SG Bouknight. Backup Wilson/Jackson.
PG Cole. Backup Gaffney. Is Alterique back?

Potentially drooling.

Senior Polley will definitely play and probably start?

Andre reminds me of a slightly shorter Stanley Robinson. Hopefully he works on his jump shot a lot because he could be a lottery pick if he gets there.

Big pick-up for us. Hammer Time is back in Storrs with Bouk, Andre, and Sid in the mix.

PS: Watch-out for Tyler Polley. He has a smooth game, and his confidence is growing. People underestimating his game are mistaken. The influx of talent, energy, and competitiveness on the team is helping him the most to take his game to the next level.

Agreed. Seniors are valuable in the college game. Adams will be a junior too. Kid is a player.

My father and I were talking and we were saying there is a small possibility but a possibility that polley could be a six man Rashad Anderson type asset. We can only hope but if he has the confidence he can do it

What's in Iowa? I don't know a single thing about Iowa.

Outside of the Iowa Caucus, sky walks, pretty good food and decent jazz bars, nothing

a minute of web sleuthing shows there is no wall that looks like this at the syracuse blaze. could have very well been syracuse blaze since he's supposed to be up there this weekend. don't see any wall like that in syracuse though!

Wow we are now inspecting and discussing the interior decorating of different franchises of a pizza chain.

I’m a fan personally. Wooden tables in the overall contemporary space with orange highlights is very well put together.

I walked by the one in Boston yesterday. The UConn Alumni event was next door at The Baseball Tavern. Blaze Pizza looked very nice. Can confirm it wasn’t the one Andre Jackson was at, though.

 

[BFieldHusky]

I find it hard to believe he was on campus today

He was apparently at practice yesterday.

How did the beat reporters not see him?

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Weren’t the beat reporters only allowed in the last half hour?

Oh don’t do that. Don’t ever do that.

OK, this would make sense because I got word Andre to UConn was official shortly after practice...

Any word on when he would make it official? No sense in this dragging out any longer if he's already committed to the staff
