Jacobson yes or no

[Wolegib]

I don’t think you understand Wule.

I am saying that a lot of your posts:

1. Contradict each other
2. Your writing style/response differs greatly from post to post

But all good Wule. Always make it a fun chuckle whenever your posts come through.

My style differs when posting from my cell phone verses posting from my computer! My cell phone changes a lot of my wording and spelling.

My thoughts also differ before and after each game! Furst did not have a great game last night, but he wasn’t the reason we lost.

As the season is almost over, I also become more reflective of others’ posts. It wasn’t me who said Harris and Myles were sure fire locks for the NBA. From what I’ve seen, I’m kind of disappointed; not in their performance, but rather in all the posters who said how great they would be. I was led to believe they would be able to either start or at least be major contributors. And they haven’t come close.

I’ll admit, I was a big Catchings fan. But he has been an even bigger bust than anyone could have predicted. He may have talent, but he sure has zero desire! Did we dodge a bullet? Maybe.

My background is if I see something wrong, I like to find a solution. That solution doesn’t have to be mine, So I like to make people use their brains.

Next year we will add West and Benter. How much will they contribute? I keep reading how great both are. But with Loyer and Smith returning and Myles and Harris and Cox fighting for minutes, how much will West or Benter contribute? Then again, how much will Myles contribute?

Portal vs freshmen? Gillis and Flapp play the same position. Flapp is a freshman and Gillis is a seasoned portal transfer. Gillis was actually considered as one of the best portal transfers last year. Which player would you rather have for one year? The guy from UW that went to Kansas has been terrible this year. He got his money and lost his desire.

Some people like the uw guy who went to Kansas are in it for the money. Others want to win. Some are loyal and many are not.

I haven't read all the post because this is an exercise in futility. He was cleared to practice about 3 weeks ago. Painter said they didn't see any reason to push him since he wouldn't play this year anyway. He is still on a no contact schedule. Just trying to get him beefed up and pumped up for next year.

I assume flapp is Flagg? Not sure how that gets autocorrected.

But I would take cooper Flagg over any one In the entire country every single time. He’s the projected number 1 pick and he’s playing like the best player in the country. And he JUST turned 18 this past December.

Jacobsen surely isn’t in shape enough to play this season

You mean he can’t come in and just give us 10-15 min after sitting out for so long?!

I don’t think he has the conditioning to do so having been unable to run for 3 months. I would take it however if he felt he could do it. We need rim protection and scoring and I know he can do both.

At the beginning of this injury i thought redshirt him 100% That has changed a little bit.
IF he has some time to practice and get close to game form then i say play him. Everyone knows how good this team should be next year and this has been talked about extensively. Next years roster is essentially the same as now IF we have Jacobsen. I absolutely hate that he lost this year to grow with his teammates and that hurts our chances for next year with him essentially being a freshman again next year as far as playing time and learning goes. Where Cox, Harris and Burgess have played and are learning those valuable lessons. We are badly missing a rim protector and if he has the time to get up close to speed it may not be a bad idea to burn that redshirt cause this is a totally different animal with a player who can erase things at the rim. I am just leery of a kid playing the first of his freshman games in those big pressure type games. Gosh i really hope he can get back quick and get some practices under his belt and a few games as well. Like was said earlier, if he can play 10-15 minutes that could be a difference in a sweet 16 or a final 4, which i think this team can definitely achieve with him. The ability to play looser on d knowing you have an eraser behind you is huge. Now obviously if he doesn't have time to practice or cant move around well or cant elevate then he needs more time to heal and the shirt needs to be used. Thoughts are welcome

most likely rod insertion

That was what I expected but was hoping not. I hope he can get back to 100% with no lingering problems.

Haha sorry I was being sarcastic 😊
