2022 PG Cale Jacobsen -> Nebraska

[Huskerpapa]

How serious are we in scouting this young man?  Scholarship or Preferred walk on?  Does he have the quickness to defend at thus level?

Got the chance to watch him play all 3 games at state and came away impressed. He's very unselfish as witnessed by his dishing off for game/state championship-winning 3 by Shepherd. Didn't seem to force things and still set C-1 record with 43 in semi's versus Kearney Catholic. A muscular kid at 6'4" and did show good 3 point range. Definitely  worth taking a look at. 

Can Cip confirm his dad is from Hampton and played on teams in late 80's?

His dad graduated from Hampton High but is actually from Marquette.  He transferred because Marquette was running out of students by then.  He played in the 1990 state championship game, where they lost to Falls City Sacred Heart.  (I believe that was the game where the TV play by play guy, who I think was the 10/11 sports anchor, uttered the classic: "Here's Dick: he's a little short" when Mark Dick short rimmed a free throw.)

 

The Shephard kid that he passed it to for the winning shot also had a dad that lost in the finals (for Elmwood, they lost in 1985 to McCool Junction), so that was a bit unique.

I love Cale. I truly don’t understand what others aren’t seeing.

I agree.  I don't believe there is any doubt that he could play well at this level.  My only question would be if he has the quicks to defend point guards.

Maybe not quite yet, but does he have the drive to better those quicks?  If so, that can easily be improved upon.  If Paul Mulcahy can defend at this level, I bet he could too.

I’d rather watch him try and figure that out versus going whatever and 20 watching what dudes we have.

Whatever and 22, but who's counting?

With all the roster movement happening, I’d have to think there’s room to get this kid on board*. I think it would do the program a lot of good on a lot of fronts. 

*I say this with the caveat that I’ve never seen the kid play, just going off what I’ve heard from several others.

To be fair, technically there's only been 1 guy officially entered the portal. Lloyd looks to be out though.

I am not certain of that either, but what I am certain about is that he has the competitive spirit that would give him the best shot to do so.

Good answer!  I never check the recruiting forum because it hasn't mattered one bit to the success of Husker basketball.  No idea why I clicked on it today....

Nice to see Hampton basketball in a conversation, though.

I know everyone wants Nebraska kids on the roster, but I'd chill on this one. I mentioned seeing Drake's coach watching him at the state tourney but they haven't offered. As far I know, he doesn't have a D-1 offer and just tweeted a couple of weeks ago that Wayne State had offered. Should know more in a few weeks if others are seeing him as a high major D-1 player.

If Brad Davison can defend at this level, so can he!

I know his father pretty well. Brad's a really good dude who is in admin. at Ashland Greenwood Schools. They have an awesome family, and I'd love to root on Cale at NU!

Brad Davison did at least have several B1G level offers...including at DONU.

[Huskerpapa]

It has been a decade or so ago; but I believe Davison was a pretty salty football QB and was recruited for both sports.  Again it has been so many years ago my memory may be shaky. 

[uneblinstu]

That wouldn't surprise me. I know Miles had him in for a visit, though. IIRC, I think we were in the running til the end. Someone can check my math on that.

[Huskerpapa]

Looks like we offered him...but it? doesn't appear that he visited

So did a lot of our roster ...and some of them sure as hell can't defend greatly either!

[Cowboy Kermit]

took an unofficial down to Lincoln today .

[Chuck Taylor]

Still no D-1 offers, as near as I can tell.

Assuming we're going to offer him a walk-on spot

[AuroranHusker]

I'd love to see Cale Jacobsen in Lincoln this upcoming season. Kid's got moxie.

 

* Also, adept arm placement by Loenser.

Robin Washut confirmed it's for a preferred walk-on spot this morning.
