Alex Illikainen is pretty similar to Jacobson. I could see us taking a sit out transfer to replace Jacobson when he leaves after next season. Just a guess.
I'd be shocked if we're interested in him. While Little Pitino's ability to coach up guards is no doubt in question, Washington did little with the chances he got - and, he was on teams with no other PGs. I have no idea how he was NY player of the year - at least, that's how he was touted up here. Not a fit in Prohm's offense - doesn't pass all that well and doesn't shoot it well... not sure what the upside would be. Not who you'd want in the pick and roll. I'd be surprised if he ends up at a P5 school.
ISU did recruit Alex but that was under Fred not Prohm. Bolton would be a very good addition, 6'2 CG who averaged 11 pts as a Freshman.
I think Bolton would be a good fit in Ames. https://247sports.com/Article/Rasir-Bolton-NCAA-Transfer-Portal-Penn-State-basketball-131554741/
Would love to get the Bolton kid. Can someone spell out how he pronounces his first name though? Is is Razer Rass Ire? How does he pronounce it?
