If Jacobs announced his commitment then that is OK but the NCAA does not allow the school to comment on it until the NL signing period and the letter has been received by the school..

Don't tease us like that. I want the Icelandic kid more than I've ever wanted a player that I have never seen play, even in highlight videos. Mostly because his middle name is Thor. And if he's half as good as his brother, he'd be a damn good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we should bring him aboard. Franchise you seem to be one of the smartest guys on this board. That being said please shut up. He's the next Frank Mason lll.

TheOne Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 On 4/10/2018 at 11:58 AM, Pistol said: It has to be Ingvi Gudmundsson; there's no trace of Bragi on the national basketball website. He's two years younger than Jon Axel, who will be a junior, so it stands to reason that Ingvi would be immediately eligible as a freshman in the fall, as JAG was two seasons ago. His numbers for the U20 national team aren't great, but it's really hard to project international guys based on national team statistics. He starts for Grindavik in the Domino's (yes, that is really the sponsor of Iceland's top league) League. He averaged 10.9, 3.9, and 3.5 this past season. JAG played for the same team before coming to Davidson, so I'm guessing Ingvi would also be eligible without any issues. JAG averaged 15.0, 8.0, and 5.3 in the league during his last season. Given his production at Davidson thus far, if we're recruiting a second-tier version of Jon Axel Gudmundsson, I'm fine with that. Ingvi is anywhere from 6-3 to 6-7, from what I can find; his brother is about 6-4, 190. Where I can find his height in cm, he measures from about 199 to 201, so about 6-5+. I'm sure the big range has to do with the last time some of these sources were updated. His middle name is Thor. Consider it signed, checked and sealed. He’ll be a Billiken.

TheOne, you have any details to add to Pistol's summary about this guy? I apologize in advance if you've given more detail and I just missed it. And thanks for your valuable posts on billikens.com!

Pistol Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Yeah, he definitely appears to be on the low end of the 6-3 to 6-7 height estimates I was finding. Anyway, if he's anything like his brother, he should be a nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moytoy12 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Less than convincing stats at the U20 Euro Championship last July: http://www.fiba.basketball/europe/u20/2017/Ingvi-Thor-Gudmundsson Saw elsewhere he was listed as a pg, so maybe he'll provide spot minutes in relief. Not expecting a lot from him next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
