3star_recruit Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Jacobs is the 9th player in our rotation. Pretty difficult to show anything when you're that low in the pecking order. Especially when you're stuck behind a senior who averages double figures and another freshman who's one of the best defenders in the A-10. This is not a Crews roster. All of these guys can play. It's just a question of opportunity. Pistol, Zink, slufanskip and 3 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYBilliken Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Good away win against an underrated team - and in case it hasn't been noted already: Travis Ford has now climbed back to .500 at SLU, first time since he was at 2-1 in his first month.

Clocktoweraccords2004 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I’m sure Jacobs is good. His highlight tapes show it but he is too nervous on the court and that is directly due to us not closing out games earlier in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorydays2013 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 We finally have a deep team it seems. At least Ford is playing like it. Waiting on Thors time to shine. I am curious to when CG rumors of transferring to a school will come in. Don’t think he will get anything higher than SLU. He had one of the hardest stock drops at the end of high school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see Hankton with that problem or Thatch. His nervousness is because he has the yips and he has to get control of it. Playing more won't simply solve that if so he has been enough to not be nervous anymore. He just has to get his lack of confidence out of his head - that is on him.

Can also apparently shoot it from long range too, just need to translate to a game No question on him. I question Travis having him in with 6 minutes to go in a tight game . 2 possessions in a row he let his man drive right by him which led to us having problems on defense. Not the time to reward a lightly played freshman especially in an away game. cheeseman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Hankton is asked to knock down open looks to space the floor. Thatch is asked to guard one of the opposing teams top two players. Jacobs is often being asked to handle the ball and run the offense for brief stretches. That is going to take more time. I think if he was merely being asked to knock down shots or play off the ball his transition to the speed of the game would occur sooner. He has talent. The game just needs to slow down for him.

cheeseman Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hankton may have looked a bit lost but that disappeared quicklly. He also has been asked to guard bigs inside and does so without fouling excessively. Both he and Thatch do handle the ball. Jacobs gets the ball in his hands and continues to make lazy or telegraph his passes. I have not given up on him just that I am not willing to say his poor play is OK because he did not get to play in any early blowouts. Others are developing so it is not unfair to expect him to pick up the pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
