2020 Recruiting: UConn in for Andre Jackson

[aburks41]

This has the timeline wrong. UConn announced the Big East move in June. Jackson gave Cuse silent verbals in July and August.

I think it was Hurley's surgery that made the difference. Jackson came for his visit and said, I want to play for the guy with a scar on his neck.

When did the news break that we were moving in 2020 instead of 2021? That might line up better with the supposed timeline of events. Either way, this is an epic fail on Cuses part. This is their Hamidou

This is the important point. When we announced the move to the Big East, it was unclear when we'd join (though most of us hoped/expected in time for next year). Don't think it was until the end of July that we knew for sure. Did it play a significant role in Jackson's thinking? I have no idea, but it seems like the timing lines up with him reconsidering things.

If this all happens and Thomas goes in another direction, we should put the full court press on Hassan Diarra for the last spot. Cole would be the only true PG and Diarra seems like he wants to come here. Just not sure if he will still be available in the spring...although I haven’t read many updates on his recruitment lately.

100% agree. This guy would be a big miss for us. I think he’s a perfect Dan Hurley guard. He’s tough, defends, and isn’t afraid of the moment. I’d be more than happy with a class of Diarra, Jackson, and Cardwell/Omoruyi

All the Crystal Balls, , Fire Balls, etc. are great, but let's actually get the commitment before going on to the next player on the wish list. Kofi and Precious make me wary of what can happen.

The fact that Andre chose not to go on an unofficial with Isaiah Jackson this weekend at Cuse is all you need to know.

I did see that, but it’s hard to ignore the fact that Andre apparently gave cuse silent commit during the summer and then when the Big East news dropped his entire recruitment changed

Silent verbal don’t mean much. My source at UConn told me we had a silent verbal from Precious and look how that worked out for us.

It's possible he did, but you're right that we need him to make it public.

It's not about the first silent verbal. It's about the last.

meanwhile, we have these infamous billboards in the ohio countryside. the mls teams in cincinnati and columbus call their rivalry "hell is real" because of these billboards between the cities

really makes you think as you drive along

Every time I drive by these I think why did I move here?

I have no doubt we lose if still in the AAC. Huge move and timing for the staff to take advantage of. If this one does work out we can check the first Big East recruiting W, more to come with this staff.

I am sure GMac had to double down on his work as soon as he saw the UConn to the Big East news and hopefully he still fell short.

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

I for one am ready for my Giants and Huskies to be good again... I’ve suffered enough. AJ and Danny Dimes are gonna bring me joy

 

[Towney007]

Relax, he’s coming. It’s bit even really a secret at this point.

For the good god fearing people of course.

He reneged on his word to go to hasn't-won-a-damn-thing Memphis to play for hasn't-won-a-damn-thing Penny in a crappy non-P6 conference. Nope, nothing fishy there. I'm sure it is the hot new coach thing...NOT! Those Fed-Ex boosters are something.

I guess he isn’t on an “unofficial” at Cuse. Lmaoo. I thought he was spending the weekend talking over with his family?

This is concerning.

[soxfan23]

If Jackson does indeed commit, UConn will have some guys(Bouknight, Wilson, Jackson) that can really get up.

I find it hard to believe he was on campus today

 

[Pudge]

First practice. I’d want to be there if I Committed. I want to see the first

Also, the Albany trip to Storrs is shorter than many people realize. I used to fly out of Bradley often when I lived in Albany, so it was no big deal to make that trip. (I realize Storrs is another 30-35 minutes away)
