ScottyIce Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hmm. Morrow wouldn't have ever had to play the 5 now. Patience is a virtue. Quote Link to comment

HuskermanMike Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 If this guy gets 3 or more blocks a game his team does better. This guy is built for a 6'8 guy, and he could hang with the other bigs that might have a few inches on him. A guy that comes off the bench most likely. Does he have to sit out a year or is this guy eligible immediately? Edit nvm he is eligible immediately. Here is his bio. http://winthropeagles.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4136 Quote Link to comment

BIG ERN Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 He will be a good fill since Jacobson left. Only avg 14 mpg - is a great shot blocker and avid in the weight room 1 Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Be interesting to see if his shot blocking success holds up when playing with the big boys. Hope so! Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 He will be a good fill since Jacobson left. Only avg 14 mpg - is a great shot blocker and avid in the weight room Yea he is more built than Jacobsen and that is really good. If this guy can get some semblance of a mid range game to compliment his post game that would be great. He seems to be a streaky scorer at times, but I think with his presence you will see us give up less threes in 2017. Since we did not have a good shot blocker when Morrow went down we always had to collapse inside when someone drove and then the other teams would get a wide open three. I bet this guy will come with energy off the bench and play great defense and hopefully our coaches can get him consistent offensively. Quote Link to comment

Either way, I hope he does well here. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 7'4 wingspan...that helps. 3 Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Looks like a fine tight end prospect so maybe Riley can use him ? Maybe he can block field goals and extra points and rush the passer on third downs? Quote Link to comment

spurs1990 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 If nothing else, that wingspan, blocking ability, and strength is only going to help Jordy in practice. If he can provide 10-15 quality minutes off of the bench or produce something positive when Jordy inevitably gets in foul trouble this will be a solid pick up. Quote Link to comment

Either way, I hope he does well here. Jacobson played some good ball while here, however this is a perfect example of weight not being created equally - plus his wing span will allow him to play closer to 6-10. Quote Link to comment
