Starting 56 games as a freshman and sophomore for a Big 10 school is above average. As far as player development he's yet to hit his prime. Nebraska made the investment. We get the rewards.
RECRUITING: Michael Jacobson has committed
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
What outstanding talent do they have coming in that is a post player?
If we add a couple of top 100 guys for 18 (guard and wing) the Cyclones will be kissing a final four in two or three years.
I agree. Don't sleep on this guy. He is a hard worker who started as a true freshman at a Big 10 school. That in itself says something. I can see Michael averaging double digit points and approximately eight boards a game as a senior. Plus from what I here, he has a great attitude and is a very unselfish player.
Upgrade over Carter and Kasongo. While Young's stats are misleading due to the role he had, Jacobson did put up better numbers than Young. I think Lard has a ton of upside, but he hasn't proven anything yet at the college level.
I don't see how anyone could think bringing in Jacobson is not good for us.

Nice little story about Jacobson in the Cedar Rapids Gazette. Add Lard, Young, Shayok to the mix and the Cyclones got the muscle in the paint for 2018-2019.

In the article Prohm says he won't bring anyone in just to fill an open spot, but why not? There is no harm in adding a grad transfer for one year versus just leaving it unfilled, correct? Unless you think you can get someone REALLY late, or a mid year transfer, right?
Midyear. Better to save it than get a grad transfer that probably won't contribute
I don't think Prohm is saying he won't fill the scholly. He's saying in order for me to do that I want someone far above what I already have to make an immediate impact.
All he's saying is that not going to bring in a guy of say, my-level talent, just to fill a scholarship. If it's a grad transfer he expects them to be good enough to play. If it's a freshmen, it's a guy he expects to contribute in a year or two.
Yes you do and you just posted it. You think he's a waste of a player. Don't be afraid to say what you really think.
Its as simple as this: you're a complete moron if you dont think, at this point, that Michael Jacobson is a good addition. Will he be a premier player? Of course not, but role players like him serve a purpose and are absolutely needed on winning teams.
There is no risk with Jacobson. Worst case is he is a rotational player. Best case is he works super hard during the next year and is a solid two year starter.
Jacobson is very low risk in that he has played Div I basketball for a P5 program, and has started for them quite few games. The guy can play at this level, that has already been determined.
I'm kinda surprised to hear some on here that think a starter at Nebraska is not good enough to even play a role at ISU. Not only that, but a role we definitely could use... a big strong kid that can rebound, bang inside, get garbage baskets, and can actually shoot pretty well all the way to the 3 line. Where's the risk here?
