Michael Jacobson/Waukee - did we recruit this kid?
- Thread starter brokenloginagain
- Start date
Iowans do love them some small town white dude project players.
Kansas has had a history of loving small town Iowa white dudes too.
His ORtg on kenpom is 85.2. That is epically bad, especially for a low usage 6'9" guy.
I should add that it was over 100 last year which is good.
4 out of 450 is 0.88% and behind the following two measurements.
Iowa's population is 0.97% of the US population.
Iowa has 6 electoral votes out of 538 which is 1.11%
Yeah, but when you factor out all of the Europeans, then maybe we are ahead in terms of population ratio.
Seriously, I still think that 4 in the NBA from Iowa is pretty good. It isn't like we are a high school basketball hot bed, like Indiana or North Carolina, or have big cities where high school basketball holiday tournaments can be some of the biggest events in town.
I second this. Even his freshman year at UNI he may have been the slowest moving human to live. He certainly showed the doubters (including me) wrong
You'd take that over Carter's upside? Just wait until you see how good of cheerleader he is as an upperclassman.
I played against Jacobson in High School two years ago, while he was a big body and did what 6'9" guys do against bad teams, he looked slow and unskilled and nobody thought he'd be a D1 guy. I think his line was something like 8-8-2 (Blocks). Surprised to see he made D1, let alone produce at that level.
12 and 10 in 32 minutes against NW. Kids like him are hard to evaluate but we need to hit on these take-a-chance offers.
We'd still be playing a 4 guard lineup right now and Bowie and young would still be ahead of him.
Nebraska is very happy to have Jacobson. He hustles and is their blue collar player. No one will ever call him a "pretty boy" to describe his effort on the court. He really contributed in the win against Iowa.
The only way I think he makes the team is walking on.
If he really want's to, I don't think his family would have an issue paying tuition. Pretty well off, and sister is on scholarship for NDSU WBB.
Ya i actually know them. They are more than well off. His parents flew out to Nebraska for every game i believe. He would add a lot of work ethic to the team and push our starters for sure. Heck he could even improve and become a starter himself.
Cool! I actually used to play basketball with Michael ha. Didn't know him that well but he was always hard working and respectful. Good hard working family.
Flew to Lincoln from Waukee? Even Leath thinks that's excessive.
Really wish I would've gone with the title "Michael Porter - did we recruit this kid?"
