Update on "other" guard transferring?

[mwitt]

No offense to Brock Jacobsen, but if he was transferring, it would not be big news. He is not on scholarship and will likely not play next year at all unless he can find some confidence with his shot and improve his defense.

[CyCy]

Brock redshirted 2005-2006, he played 2006-2007, and has 3 years of eligibility left.

[BigM]

brock is undersized can't shoot (29% from 3-point land)
and can't defend players because of his size

[PsychedClone]

Brock's not going anywhere.

[Wesley]

It's Dodie. No one elese makes sense.

Big M:

Brock can definitely shoot it, and I wouldnt say he is under-sized, just as big as Jake Sullivan was and maybe a little taller, pretty strong too. He just cant create space and does not have a quick first step..and yes, he can't defend.

[bferin]

Yes, Jacobson was on the team w/ Stinson and Blalock as I remember hearing talk of him as a "practice hero" and how he may contribute with everyone leaving. That was his redshirt year, this year he played, so he will be a soph next year.

Correct, we are agreeing....Sorry I was saying last year meaning Stinson/Blalock and '06 season as "this year".....my apologies....

We dont'? I sure as hell would take Smith!! He is a great player and is going to the NBA, just cause he is a Hawk doesn't mean I wouldn't love to have a player of his quality on our team. Now i know that he isn't going to transfer but I would hope McD would accept him!

Smith might be good but we have enough off court issues as is. We don't need anymore baggage.

[Klubber]

Yeah, I remember him saying that. And he winds up at NC State? Not exactly un upgrade academically, or as a hoops program either.

[Flag Guy]

While it's not an official source, someone I know asked Dodie directly if he was leaving and he apperently told her yes he is (To be closer to family is the reason he gave I believe)

[sdsmith4]

It is Dodie, pretty sure, but it looks like we are attempting to replace him right now going after Guards Chris Smith of Lakewood, NJ brother of J.R. Smith of the NBA and JUCO guard Menji Mundadi of Kankakee CC

Baggage? The kid doesn't have any. The only reason he might transfer is because Craig Neal left.

That being said, I think he stays at Iowa.

[sdsmith4]

Those two and than Jordan Smith who is a teammate of Marcus Brister

I think the poster is referring to the 5-finger discount he and Henderson applied at a department store at the beginning of the season.

Good point, I forgot about that. I don't think that would make a school reject him though.
