Class of 2020 SF Andre Jackson (NY) Offered

[SUFan44]

Let's see how this plays out and how the new recruits perform this year before we throw the towel in. I personally think it will be a exciting year watching these young guys learn and grow. I know there Is one kid on the team that knows nothing but winning and wants to keep it that way. The right attitude/mindset can go a long ways for a team trying to develop an identity! Cant wait for the over seas trip to get started.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this group performs as well. I just have tempered expectations based on past results. But we were supposed to have a Top 15 team last year. We were an 8 seed and lost in the first round, and weren’t nationally ranked after the poor non conference results.

No Boeheim team that has made a run has ever lacked a McDonald’s All-American. We haven’t had one since Richardson.

We won’t have one next year and won’t have one the following year either unless something changes.

You can say rankings don’t matter - and for some programs they don’t. They do for Syracuse, IMO. Boeheim needs at least one elite talent to get Top 4 seed status in the Tournament. We haven’t been better than an 8 seed in 5 years. That is WAY too long given the investment and support given, IMO.

yeah but did he sleep over at his house

 

[PauliePeppas]

Not worried...at all

Appreciate the optimism. Have there been any developments recently that give you the warm fuzzies, or is this a gut feeling. AJ seems to be leaving the door open for others as far as I can tell. Would love to be wrong.

We need to land this kid.gmac is my all time fave cuse player but if he can't get him I think it's time for a change.

 

[orange79]

Just so's y'all know, this will NOT turn into a GMac thread.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Man I’m old enough to remember Gmac killing it when we landed Girard. But if that bum can’t land Jackson well doors over there.

ETA: sorry O79 I’m done now

Jackson is much more highly regarded, FWIW

Was Jackson in that street ball game with JGIII posted recently? If that was him, he looks strong, skilled, and athletic.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Oh ya know Syracuse Basketball season is around the corner when people start posting emotionally unrelated to the topic of the thread because a player hasn’t signed fast enough for them.

Hurley smells blood in the water with SU (Akok being a prime example). I do not blame him one bit.

blood in the water? Akok was an inside job. He went to school down the street from them. Not the same with Jackson. He may go there. But it won't have anything to do with their confidence after Akok.

 

[dasher]

You think the program is in a good state right now? I certainly don’t.

Whose program is in a better place for jackson to consider? UConn or Syracuse. They haven't made the tournament in three years.

Fires are exciting, too.

I don't know about that but there is a reason jb is still seeing Collier

 

[Scotch]

I don't know about that but there is a reason jb is still seeing Collier

Hmm. This news hurts me.

 

[cuseslime]

Hurley is a buffoon.

Akok is a prime example of nothing, besides being heavy handedly steered by his handlers.

If he goes to UConn, that’s a horrific loss.

Totally agree. Doesn’t mean he can’t recruit.

 

[orangefog]

Totally agree. Doesn’t mean he can’t recruit.

How many assistants is he allowed?

 

[Day2]

If he goes to UConn, that’s a horrific loss.

Horrific? No it isn't.
