Alabama basketball recruiting: Tide offer 2020 4-star guard Andre Jackson

Alabama has extended an offer to 2020 4-star guard Andre Jackson.

The 6-6 shooting guard, who currently attends Albany High School (NY), has already received lots of interest from power conference programs around the country.

Syracuse is considered a frontrunner to land him, with teams like Cincinnati, UConn, Illinois, and Indiana also offering Jackson.

He is rated as the top player in New York and the No. 40 player overall in the 2020 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.

New Alabama head coach Nate Oats has certainly been hard at work on the recruiting trail already, with some of his biggest victories coming in the from of bringing back current players to the roster.

Oats was able to convince both Kira Lewis and John Petty to stay with the program after they entered the NCAA transfer portal, and that should be a huge boost for the team’s outlook next season.

The Crimson Tide also have a top 20 class for 2019, with four players now in the group after Oats landed 3-star center Raymond Hawkins.
