Wow, we bring him in cold off the bench for some 3 point shooting and he chucks up 2 ugly 3's. Please leave him on the bench at all costs, thank you! I can't remember the last time he's even hit a 3.
No more Brock please!

Not sure what Coach McD is thinking. He does a great job late in games with the offensive and defensive switches, except for Jacobsen. News flash: Jacobsen is not a Big 12-caliber shooter.
Brock Jacobson?
Do we not have anyone that can shoot better than he can? Has he even made a basket in a game since exhibition season? He has no business being on the court.
I understand he can probably shoot well in practice or shoot arounds, but standing in the corner waiting for a pass so you can shoot your shot that takes 4 seconds to get off, it isnt helping.
The depth next year will be extremely welcome.

I agree!!! Brock would make a nice NAIA player, please keep him off the D-1 courts unless he wants to be a team manager or something.
I wish you guys could see Brock in practice. The dude is lights out. Too bad he can't carry it over during games.
I've heard that too. He probably gets nervous or something in games and loses focus.
I don't doubt that. Seems like he definitely has some mental hurdles to overcome. Confidence is a powerful thing.
I went to the rec and did a three point shootout (5 shots at the 5 different spots) and made 15 out of 25 (60%) I was lights out then too. Put me on a Big 12 court in front of 10,000+ fans and I'd be lucky to hit 2. Brock is the same way, anybody is a shooter when you don't have a hand in your face. Is this kid on scholarship???
he was a preferred walk-on last year for wayne morgan. he red shirted last year, but is still a walk-on now, no schollie.

If the previous staff decided to red shirt him and he gets looks from a coach like McD then he must be doing something that most of us don't get to see as fans. Also, shooting by yourself is a lot different, but from what Ive heard Brock makes shots against defenders in practice, which is much different, still not the same as in a game though.
When he checked in I told my wife she might as well check in. She'd have the same chance of hitting a 3 as he would. And alas 0 for 2. At least we aren't wasting a scholarship.
I just cringed when he was brought in. MT and Wes should have been our first choices. They were already rolling. I'd rather have Jiri shoot a late 3 than Brock. He is 27 PERCENT FROM BEHIND THE ARC. It gets better. He is 1-14 in conference play, with one 3 in the first game against Mizzou. Couple that in with his hilarious 26% FG%, as well as his 4 boards in nearly 150 minutes of play, and there's no reason he should play. Hell, the guy has four more fouls than field goals this year.
I will say it again. Cut Brock from the team. That will avoid the temptation to put him in. I am a great shooter in warm ups to.
While I agree that Brock is not an overall Big 12 player, it's unfair to judge someone's shooting ability when he's asked to shoot 3's after sitting on the bench for the whole game. It would be like a field goal kicker not being allowed to warm up on the side line or even stretch his leg. Just a bad situation to put a player into. Not that a shooter can't do it, however the odds, specially for a freshmen, are just not in the shooter's favor.
Thus I would say it was a coaching mistake and agree that Taylor, Ceaser, Clark, Johnson, Jiri, or Grey would have been better options due to them being warmed up.
As Brock gains experience and matures I think he'll find a way to contribute on a limited basis. For a walk-on, he a good get.
