(In short, he's a banger who doesn't give you much offense but does all the dirty stuff)

I like that Strating's scholarship is potentially available. No offense to the kid but he didn't have any other legit offers and his parents seem to be able to afford it.

Jacobson has some value. Offensive rebounds appear to be his best skill (top 5 in B1G in offensive rebound percentage). Career 4.8 Box plus/minus which means he's been worth 4.8 more points per 100 possessions than an average player. Career .102 win shares per 40 minutes in B1G play. He's been better than Tory Miller by both of those value metrics.
 
Hard nosed big. Plays tough. Rebounds well. You won't win with a team full of him, but he is a guy you can use. Good teammate from what I heard.

Most of what I was reading tonight referenced him being a team leader and was also all academic Big Ten. Seems like a solid guy for the locker room, for sure.
 
I don't know if I've ever watched a big man highlight tape without a dunk, but this man has it. Good enough for me.
Also, he's smart enough to realize that he should leave Nebraska ASAP

Recruited by Harvard, Brown and Princeton. Had a football scholarship offer from Iowa St. Played through a flu in a win against Purdue this year. Vomited throughout the game and had an IV at halftime. Yet he guarded Caleb Swanigan and arguably made the play of the game

High quality glue guy on/off court. Is he willing to sit out a year to be a role player? Is it worth spending a scholarship on a role player that has to sit out?

If he's better than Strating...yes.
 
I think this is a fantastic complement to the freshmen we have brought in. If we can pull this off and grab Jacobson, a proven banger from a power conference, what is this class missing? 6 players, 7 if you include Dallas Walton, that has a mix of height, athleticism, skill, and leadership. Jacobson brings the grit
 
Jacobson played for MOKAN in AAU. Seems that CU has a good relationship there, which would help a lot.
 
Dream school for him. ISU lost out on a bunch of guys before doing this deal.

Easy kid to like but putting a scholarship on the sidelines for a year should only be reserved for potential difference-makers.

Hope we save the spot for next cycle.
