Confident all of our players can make an uncontested layup...was highlighting Jacobs ability to finish at the rim when contested, something a number of our players seem to struggle with.

Seems like most of his layups have been relatively uncontested. Unlike many JG tries where there are 2 guys between him and the basket.

It’s really unlike anything I’ve seen from a Billiken guard, with the exception of maybe Jett. If he could add on a little more muscle, he’d be unstoppable. I'm a Jacobs fan... when he shows up to play. He's got to stop disappearing or blending into the woodwork. Kid's got game, but appears at times to be too timid to show it.

From the time he catches the pass until his release you have time to take a bathroom break or grab a beer willie likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazedandconfused Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 5 hours ago, NH said: And regardless of how someone feels about Jacobs, there’s no denying he improved tremendously this year. I could see him taking another step next season. He has the most tools of any guard on our team. This point really sticks with me... Jacobs hit 5 shots (3 FT, 1 3pt FG, 1 2pt FG) all last year (none in conference play). Now he's contributing...albeit somewhat inconsistently. That's a major improvement and hats off to Jacobs and coaching staff for their joint success so far.

It took Chris Sloan two years to improve as much as Jacobs has in one, starting from a similar baseline. slufanskip, glazedandconfused and MusicCityBilliken like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[This has been covered in other interviews.] If fans have the app, they can track it during games, if the teams use the chip shoes during games. https://www.scoopswithdannymac.com/billikens-basketball-update-with-travis-ford-january-7-2020/ Seems odd this would be public info, as it simplifies scouting for other teams some. But this info may be already easy to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusam Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Anyone hear coach this morning on KMOX? I forgot to listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 Yeah. Somewhat short. Started with how good Goodwin was, particularly his leaderahip. Very complimentary on Collins D on Gilyard. He was on Gilyard “98% of the time” and held him to 1 of 6. ( He was 1-7.). Said this was French’s best game in the past 6 or 7. Then the deserved plaudits for Dayton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills_06 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Anybody catch the coaches show? I missed the beginning. I did hear Jack Raboin talk about the process of becoming a walk on which I thought was interesting. Said he went Juco and had the intention of becoming a walk on a D1 school since sophomore year of high school. Was going to fly down to the final four to talk to some coaches after his juco year and Corey Tate missed his flight so ended up on his. He walked up to him to and started talking about his goals and basically before he landed he knew he was going to SLU as a walk on. Wants to get into coaching after playing so wanted to learn from D1 coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issues his flight, you wouldn’t be sitting here in the Fieldhouse tonight.” Jack also said that Diarra would jump to scout team to be Toppin. Jack was kidding Courtney on his 1-1 from the three this year saying that his toe may have been in the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
