I don't care what level of competition he is playing, those constant rebound numbers are impressive. Shows a desire to get the ball off the boards................something our recent and even current Sycamores don't have a grasp on, except for maybe Lathan. Can't wait for this big guy to wear the Sycamore Blue.
 
Sure is a good looking bunch of folks in your avatar. Hope most of you will be coming to the games next year?

Thanks for posting that link - according to his scale he says that Jake is a stretch to play at a Mid Major, infering that he is maybe good enough to play at that level? Interesting.

ESPN rates him considerably higher than that.
What I want to see out of our new players is the ability to shoot the 10-15 ft J. We have some players now that would raise their play 2 levels if they could drill that shot consistently. That was the key for players like Moss and John Sherman Williams and Menser.

I actually think JO and RJ both have a pretty good J (JO has to be open). That is the one thing keeping CR from really elevating his game.

can't wait to see this kid in blue. Jake can shoot, rebound out of his area, and pass very well for his size, all things we don't currently have in our big man. saw him play some aau games this past summer. bright future for him and the trees!

Good to hear thanks for posting - we needa hear more like this, all any of us know about him is what we read. I figured Jim R would know a little more about him than he has shared, he always seems to have the inside scoop on recruiting.

What I want to know is who is wrong here. ESPN rates Jake as a 90 which has to be one of the highest rated players we've had in a long time. This is a high major rating, so who do we believe? With his numbers he has been putting up, I tend to think he is going to be really good.

The other forum had a "less than glowing" report on him. I have not seen him play. I know he was at the IU/UK game; I assume as an invited guest. That must mean something.

One of the statements was that he got his rebounds on his toes and could not jump. How high does the average 6'9" mid-major jump? I'm not really sure. I know BL and JC can't jump and I know Butler's bigs are not good jumpers.

Rick Bolus High Potential Recruiting has Jake as the #12 Senior in Indiana. I dont put much stock into these things, but it seems to be about where everyone else puts him. Alot of Senior players would like to be rated #`12 in the state.....
