I played for TeeJay back in the mid 60's (so did Rivercup!). We had fan shaped backboards in our gym and it made it difficult for visiting teams who had never played on them. Regrettably not so difficult thet they couldn't beat us anyway!
I had one of those with a chain net! my kids are so spoiled. heck of a hoop they have.
I am referring to his future at UR. By the time his senior season is over, he will be!!! Frank Mason is my homeboy....I coached again his high school team when I was a basketball coach at a local high school in Richmond.
I was kidding, downplaying Mason's greatness. he's a stud. must have been fun to coach a kid like that.
In Missouri vs Kansas all star game, Jacob went on a 5 - 0 run at the end of the game to give his Missouri team the lead. He was among the leading scorers and clearly was clutch when the pressure was on. So looking forward to the Spider newcomers in the fall.

For the sake of accuracy, I believe Jacob played for. The Missouri squad and his team won... At least that's the way I read it.
He is so good that Missouri only needed one player to beat the Kansas team.
i hope to he has same speed forward like Fore. this is very important fact and difference maker
A reporter said Jacob was "greased lightning". Believe our backcourt will be quick.
The problem at TJ wasn't the backboards. It was the wall at one end of the court and the opening into the auditorium on the other! One thing we (Panthers) knew, you were going to play Spud's 2-1-2 defense no matter what!
Practice and rebound are two words that should never be used together on this board.
Spud's defense was actually a 1-2-2. Being that the basketball court was smaller than most, it worked pfetty well against most schools. Our problem was more a lack of offense than an issue with defense. The fan backboards disappeared in 1967.
Hated 'em. Just my luck that they were replaced the year after I graduated. Although that's my excuse for being a low scorer, and I'm sticking to it!
Uh, Jacob goes off for 50. Think the Spiders got a good one.
Reading through the article the team he put up 50 against is sending one guy to Xavier (also Mr. Show Me state P.O.Y.), one to Navy and at least 2 to D2 schools. This was legit competition that he torched.
