Rarely do you see a post player with an automatic way to score over a defender in the low post, but that is exactly what Nick Jacobs has. His left handed jump hook is as good as money in the bank.

Nick Jacobs isn't a guy you are going to classify as an above the rim guy. But, he's strong, crafty around the rim and has a jump hook that doesn't quit.

Jacobs lists Miami, Florida State, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, Oregon State, Charlotte, Oklahoma, Cincinnati, and Virginia Tech as the schools that have offered him.

He said his top schools are: “Right now it’s Alabama, Miami, and Virginia Tech."

Either teams can't figure out that Jacobs is left handed or simply no one can stop him from going over his right shoulder with the left and scoring. At nearly 6-foot-8 with long arms, broad shoulders, and an impressive physique, the 2011 post has been tough to stop down low on the block. He exclusively scores with his left hand, and doesn't show much of a desire to go with the right, but he simply gets buckets. In a morning win Jacobs kept on scoring off of post moves or offensive rebounds. Also he was a presence on the defensive end where he blocked or altered several shots.

Sure he is slightly undersized to be an interior post player, but Jacobs is as productive as any big guy in the country. During the final two games the J-Smoove Celtics basically just climbed on Jacobs back and tried to ride the big fella to the championship. He scored at will with his lefty hook, and then also ran the floor well for dunks in transition. Rebounding wise he is such a load that he snares double-figures each game. It was an impressive tournament overall, and even a more spectacular final day for Jacobs.
