Class of 2020 SF Andre Jackson (NY) Offered

[Henny & Coke]

Meet Andre Jackson, a Class of 2020 basketball star who is considering Syracuse

Donna’s article from today: “Meet Andre Jackson”

As Guerrier was in last class, this is guy I want most for 2020. And it’s very realistic (some think a probability even).

I realize that kid is more athlete than polished player at moment. But kid still has time to grow & mature into a player prior to college.

Think the allure for me is a return to the “high flying” days of Cuse b-ball. When we had athletes like Dion, Wes, Flynn, Joseph, HAK, etc that loved to run in transition or even attempt to dunk on people in halfcourt.

Pairing Jackson with Goodine would give SU two absurd jumpers/dunkers. The Dome would be rocking. And Guerrier is no slouch in that department either. (Neither is Hughes, if he still around.) Games would be fun to watch (again?) that’s for sure.

And as far as Jackson not being a “shooter”...we have Buddy & Girard for that.

Think this kid would absolutely thrive at SU.

He is for real....what he did against Middletown was "unreal" almost Jordanesque.

Tonight the night?

And JG3 and Stewart?

The only reason why Marquette came to visit was to pitch that idea. No threat.

My nephews high school team played before Jackson’s at the Civic Center last week and they shared the same locker room. He made a point to write come to Cuse Andre on the whiteboard after his game.

That’s actually freaking awesome.

So are our threats really just Iowa and UConn?

Our only threats are ourselves to be completely honest. Only way we lose this kid is if we drop the ball on it

Top 50 kid in our backyard that Wants to come here? No excuses

Andre strikes me as a kid who wants to be around home. A lot like JG3. Hopefully we wrap this one up early!

I agree, but the exact same, and literal back yard could be said for Torrence. I hope the reason we did not snag him is because the staff feels there is no room at the inn for a PG in the 2020 class... would have loved to have him.

I get the sense that Jackson was always a way higher priority than Torrence

We didn’t go hard after Torrence.

Kid is lanky as hell!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

GMac.

Get this done.

 

[kidorange]

listed 6'6", not sure if still growing. He's super special

Just saw a picture of him with my 6'4" brother, he's at least 6'6, maybe taller.

 

[Todoubled23]

Kid must be enjoying the atmosphere at halftime! Sounds loud in there

 

[cuse10]

Wasn't the best game for him to see.

 

[Cuse12]

I want that athleticism badly. Wes Johnson like with the length and bounce. This is a recruit we cannot lose. Get it done GMAC!

 

[Scott11]

This kid is an elite athlete. Just an absolutely perfect fit. Would be a crowd favorite.

 

[Ringostar57]

If he weighed 280 pounds he would be a 5 star second coming of Zion...Food for hype.
