This is a great piece done on local TV about Andre.
Limitless: The Andre Jackson Story

Dre was named to the All-Breakout Team in Indy...

ANDRE JACKSON - CITY ROCKS (NY)
EYBL Indy Averages:
17.5 PPG, 58.5 FG%, (31-53), 47.1 FT%, (8-17)
8.0 RPG
3.0 APG
3.5 TOPG
1.8 SPG
Andre Jackson was terrific in Indianapolis, and he very well could be playing the best basketball of his young career. Jackson was constantly attacking and slashing through the defense, and his shooting percentages (58.5%) prove that he was doing with it a high level of effectiveness. Jackson (247 4-star) also showed off his defensive chops, as the undersized City Rocks have turned to him to cover bigger and more athletic frontcourt options. Jackson had a great all-around showing during session two, and if can get his free throw stroke straightened out, the Albany Academy (NY) product should put up some major numbers moving forward.

That’s far from uncontested lol

It’s not. All the same...somebody just standing there with both arms up certainly doesn’t bother me when I shoot. And obviously I’m nowhere near as good as these kids.

That’s not really the best way to contest a shot. And by contest I don’t mean trying all out to block it and risk fouling. I mean, get your left hand up and shadow the shot, and once you’re positive he’s shooting get off your feet at least a bit.

Not a concern, though. Obviously a small thing that he will either learn or he already knows and just didn’t do it there. He seems to have the length, height, and athleticism to really be good at closing out and contesting shots in our zone.

Well said!

 

[jordville]

Don't think JB will be retweeting moments like this...

 

[Madbiker]

If this kid plays too good it will attract the sharks and we'll lose him.

 

[hoopsupstate]

The longer this plays out, the worse our chances. If he doesn’t commit be the end of a July, he’s probably going elsewhere. At this point in time, our chances look good.

 

[Cusefan0307]

He said by peach jam which is June. No need to keep hemming and hawing about it. That’s always been the case.

 

[jordville]

Peach Jam is July 10-14.

 

[littlereg]

Yeah he said right around or after peach jam. We’re still in a great place let’s just chilllll

*by peach jam were exact words

That FT% scares me.

That FT% scares me.

You know what scares me?

Clowns.

If we are doing this right now... Sometimes I get fomo.

 

[orangemass]

That FT% scares me.

47% perfect recruit for us

 

[themorey]

47% perfect recruit for us

That's old school Cuse right there.

 

[CuseMan4]

Crazy we could have our class wrapped up by mid July. Big head start on the 2021 class

This is how things were rolling back in the early 2000's -- we'd have the class locked up almost a year early, which enabled the staff to make inroads with the junior class ahead of schedule.

Nice to see us getting back toward that, instead of waiting until the final day of summer session before knowing whether recruits will be on campus...

I want this kid badly but that FT percentage...woof. Brent Axe will love him.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

He's got some "Fletch" height going on
