SLURadioBoy Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I don't know if this has ever been posted, but here's a scouting report for Jacobs... Arizona Hoop Review Scouting Report: Jacobs is a rare find among guard prospects, as he is very talented, ultra-athletic and plays much bigger than his size suggests, as a result of his lengthy body. He is a solid addition for any college program that lands him as a result of the level of confidence that he plays with, and the ability he has to play the game at a high level. He is a versatile guard prospect that can play both guard positions on the floor, and is steady. He has a good shooting stroke with range on his shot, and also has a good mid-range game that allows him to makes plays off the dribble. He is an active rebounder and plays bigger than his size suggests. He is also a very good defender that plays passing lanes. A good overall guard prospect.

Seems a little raw in the half court but that will improve. This kid seems awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's keeping the ball out of danger and laying in some really difficult finishes. He won't always be able to throw it down at the college level so those crafty finishes will come in handy. Holy $h!^!!! More athletic than anyone on the team last year. He could answer a lot of our wants/needs. FT %/ballhandling/ shooting the 3.

dennis_w Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Guard play will be upgraded immensely with jacobs and thatch along with whoever is the last piece ctf brings in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 When you look at the roster overall, I think it’s safe to say SLU has never had a team with this combination of strength and athleticism. I can’t wait to see this team hit the court. TFord and TRavs, NextYearBill and dennis_w like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man he looks good Yes, he looks superb; it's hard to understand why he isn't rated more highly. But highlight reels tend to do that. I always prefer to see full games — but who has time to do that?! — for more accurate analysis. Perhaps his defense is a weakness. If he's coachable and has a good attitude, by the time his career at SLU is over, he could be one of the Billikens' all-time greats, but let's not assume he'll start as a freshman. Maybe, though. We have to see what happens when the rubber meets the hardwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the video from Uplift High in Chicago and look at the lower left corner of the screen, which IDs the player being highlighted. Two observations: 1. Someone on this board talked about Jacobs’ body control...multiple instances here, the best of which is off the steal in the middle of the tape. He may be raw but the guy knows how to finish and gives SLU added dimension in transition offense. 2. Love his double block on D...going to be a Block Party with Jacobs and French on the floor together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
