Elite 2020 recruit Andre Jackson to visit Syracuse basketball on Thursday

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Andre Jackson, a highly-rated recruit in the 2020 Class, will visit the Syracuse University campus on Thursday, according to a source.

This will be an unofficial visit since Jackson just finished his sophomore year of high school.

Jackson is a 6-foot-6 small forward at Albany (N.Y.) Academy. He averaged about 17 points and 8 rebounds per game for the Cadets last season.

The native of Amsterdam, N.Y., is a high-flying athlete.

"He's 6-6 and can put his head on the rim,'' Jim Hart, who coaches Jackson's Albany City Rocks AAU team, said in a story published on syracuse.com last September. "I'm not exaggerating.''

Jackson is one of the fastest-rising players in the country. He is rated the No. 90 player in the 2020 class by Future150.com even though that site lists him at just 6-foot-2. Meanwhile, Rivals.com lists Jackson at 6-6 and ranks him at No. 35 in his class.

Syracuse is one of several schools that have already offered a scholarship to Jackson. He received an offer from Syracuse last September, less than a month after attending SU's Elite Camp.

Other schools to offer Jackson include Cincinnati, Iowa and George Washington.
