2020 Recruiting: Vance Jackson

[HuskyFich]

I mean there’s just no way, but best of luck wherever he and his dad end up!

 

[CL82]

11 point 5 rebounds he'd be perfect for us.

I kid, I kid.

 

[MTHusky]

Hard pass!!

 

[Cuse Socks]

hahahahaha

ngl tho...he'd prob help

 

[Phoenixhusky]

Noooooooooo!!!!!’

 

[Palatine]

He wants to play point forward.

Jackson, who averaged 8.1 points and 26 minutes per game as a freshman, met with Ollie after last season and wanted to know what the plan was for him to be able to develop into more than just a spot-up shooter.

"Get in the gym," Ollie said, according to a source close to Jackson.

Perfect question from a player, especially a freshman at the end of year meeting.

Less than perfect response

#5 here we come!

We don't know it's not the perfect answer right? I mean if the kid went home immediately after every practice and never stayed to work on his game like the real good ones, dedicated ones then absolutely its the right answer.

#5 here we come!

Wait, don't you mean "Top 5"?

No 5th Natty!

Shouldn't have played 26 min a game then lol

 

[Cuse Socks]

Someone start a thread titled "If Vance Jackson transfers back to UConn and leads us to #5 I will..."

 

[gwhuskyfan]

Maybe have Gilbert change his mind on the transfer, Vital gets the waiver from the NCAA to come back, Jackson transfers in and Mamadou stays on the bench. Top 5 Reunion tour time!

Yeah seemed like a fine answer to me

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I’d take him back 100%. He’d be a really big guard.

 

[Fishy]

You know what, if there was an opening and given that he’s a one year rental, I would not be opposed.

But this won’t happen.

That New Mexico program imploded exactly on schedule, didn’t it?

 

[UConnKev]

New Mexico State Alum here who watched plenty of UNM games. Vance doesn’t play defense/hung on the perimeter and took some of the worst shots you’ll see. There’s a no way in hell Jackson and Hurley would coexist.

I loved watching UNM implode with that traitor Paul Weir at the helm. Couldn’t happen to a better guy.

Yep, zero chance.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Heck No .
We needed him in 2017-18 we don’t need him in 2020-2021.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Maybe he'll transfer to a program in a conference that has game stats listed within the Yahoo Sports app scores. The few times I got curious about Durham, Enoch, Kisunas, Akinjo, Matthews, and him, he was a "Nothing to show."

Yeah
Lets take the source of the kid's as gospel
Oh wait - it's KO
You guys - wow

He had to play that much. We didn't have enough players who could play on the perimeter for him to be sat.

Seriously? He's too slow to play the way Hurley wants, he doesn't defend well enough to play for Hurley and he showed no interest in putting the team first. He'd be an awful fit here.

Is he a division 1 player? Yes. But I can't see it working, even as a one year rental deep on the bench.
