Standing 6-foot-5 and weighing 230 pounds, Jackson is a tough, physical player who can score around the rim. The Texas native played the last two seasons at McLennan Community College, where he averaged 15 points and seven rebounds per game last season while shooting just under 65% from the floor, a mark that ranked fourth in the country. Jackson was terrific in both games at the NJCAA Division I National Championship, posting 20 points and eight rebounds in a first-round victory before coming back with 25 points and seven rebounds in the second round en route to earning a spot on the all-tournament team.

?Aundre is an very powerful and explosive post player who will be a matchup problem for other teams with his inside-outside game,? said Moser. ?He knows how to score the basketball. Anytime a guy shoots 65% (fourth in the country), you know you are getting a highly efficient player. His will and tenacity to succeed will remind Rambler fans of Christian Thomas. I love his winning mentality, as he just led his junior college team to the national tournament in Hutchinson, Kan.?
