Jacob Young still loves Rutgers

[RutgersClassof2004]

Loved his fire. Need more guys like that.

 

[rutgersron]

Will never forget going to MSG for B1G tournament. Sanders was awesome!

 

[RUtrumpet92]

JY made two of my favorite plays of the Pike era: the midcourt steal at Minnesota that helped save our NCAA bid (punch that ticket!), and the posterizing dunk over Haarms at Mackey Arena to punch that would-be ticket... darn covid!**


**(which was bad for a whole lot of worse reasons than our NCAA dreams, of course!)

Well I still like him too. He was fun to watch and wish he stayed. Oh well.

 

[zappaa]

JY was fast enough to play cornerback on the football team

 

[ImBadRU]

Man he was fun to watch.

 

[FrankZ]

Bummed at that transfer

 

[darkcheck]

He was a big part of our two best Pike years, 19-20 and 20-21. Seems like a lifetime ago.

JY was one of my favorite players here. JD reminds me a bit of a raw version of JY.

I was hoping Derek would become that. But Jacob was one of the funnest players to watch.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

We had a lot of ballers man….guys who wanted compete and had no fear

We need that edge back quickly ….

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

The dunk at Purdue.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Very athletic.

I still love Jacob Young

 

[Joey Bacala]

Jacob Young had balls of steel. Loved watching him play. Max effort and max joy for the game at all times.

JY was one of my favorite players here. JD reminds me a bit of a raw version of JY.

I say that all the time, thought JY could be raw in games as well.

 

[tm_nj]

Jacob was definitely one of my favorite players. He will always be a legend to me.

 

[Plum Street]

He was awesome in a huge game at home against Maryland at the end of 2020 . We needed that win to set up a win and get in at Purdue .
Surprised nobody mentioned this. It was one of his best games

 

[ScarletJack]

In the beginning he made you crazy at the end he made you smile.

 

[SirPerceval]

He had a strange way of showing his love.

 

[RU848789]

Loved JY - hated seeing him transfer out...

 

[Scangg]

 

[RUJMM78]

Young was a fearless player that wasn't afraid driving to the basket against bigger defenders.He also was a good defensive player creating turnovers and easy baskets.

 

[urbanecane]

He was awesome. Looked like he was having a blast out there too. He was a 6th year transfer, not sure why people were so upset.

 

[RU-AGK]

He had a strange way of showing his love.

A victim of Pike's immense sense of loyalty to Zero.

 

[ScarletNut]

AND JY could make layups!

 

[wheezer]

I still love Jacob Young

The first games he played for us, he was a turnover machine

It took a while for the positives to out weigh the
negative
Appreciate his stay here

Remember when Geo had that insane dunk at the RAC against Indiana? JY's reaction was priceless. That's actually my favorite memory of him. But no question he saved the season in that Minnesota game.

That's my avatar and it's part 3 of the oh no series. Best social media in the history of Rutgers IMO

I bought the game worn jersey off him from the purdue dunk. Probably the coolest piece of Rutgers memorabilia i have.

Simpson with speed on D much better comparison

Simpson with speed on D much better comparison

Simpson couldnt hold JY’s jock imo

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Early Rutgers JY > current JD or DS

Late Rutgers JY >>> either

Another example of Pikes player development. Pike grabs him off the scrap heap after he washes out at Texas. He starts slow, many mistakes, no team play. Gets better and better. Transfers out to Oregon and regresses.

I still love Jacob Young
