Jackson McAndrew, the 6-foot-9, 210-pound Class of 2024 forward from Wayzata (MN) and the Howard Pulley EYBL team, has committed to Creighton, he told ZAGSBLOG ahead of his public announcement.
McAndrew also considered Xavier, Wisconsin and Notre Dame.
“I chose Creighton because of the coaching staff,” he said. “I have a really good relationship with all of them. I really like the play style and think it will be a perfect fit. The player development piece also was a big factor as the coaches have developed players like me and gotten them to the league.”
A dead-eye long-distance shooter, McAndrew averaged 19.3 and 8.4 rebounds at Peach \Jam, while shooting 46% from the field and 37% from deep. He made at least four 3-pointers in four games and shot 6-of-9 from deep in one contest. “I would describe myself as an elite shooter, [with] high IQ and feel for the game,” he said. “[I’m a] good positional rebounder and ball-hander.” Follow Adam Zagoria on Twitter Follow ZAGSBLOGHoops on Instagram And Like ZAGS on FacebookUncommitted ‘24 Forward @JacksonMcAndrew is the talk of Peach Jam this week among media & NBA scouts.
