Jacob Young

He was the only one that showed up offensively. Everyone else laid an egg.

What I like about this team is that we don't need 1 or 2 particular guys to play strong offensively in order to win. Unfortunately, we can't have all but 1 play poorly.
 
Love him and his energy. Looks like he’s having fun and is playing very very well last four games


With that being said, we lost on the boards today which isn’t us. Myles needs to bring it every game. That swipe foul at that guard was sheer lazy and get me out type foul
 
Was a critic early in the season, but Young maintaining intensity + much better decision making = very happy fan.

Totally agree. Illinois brought more energy and hustle than us today. Not a ton more, but enough. And that swipe foul... unbelievable. This is one to grow on.
 
Young tremendous today or RU would have lost by double digits. I think some may have to adjust to losing minutes...Going to be another challenge for Pike when Baker comes back.

Most of the board so wrong about Young. Called that Caldwell game would get his rhythm back too. People said it was meanigless. Too bad Myles couldn't have stayed on the court or this would have been a win

Going to have to take those minutes from Mulcahy!!
 
Op loves young and disses mulcahy?

Guess that says it all on analysis. If you compare the entire year’s significance pretty silly thing to say.

They both have their strengths and their flaws but are both meaningful members who add a lot.

He’s a great player who is just coming onto his own. I spotted his potential early in when everyone was bashing him. Speed kills.

J Young the only guy who brought his A game yesterday.

I’m very happily eating crow, didn’t think the light bulb would click for JY for a long time, if ever. Was too out of control early on, always looking to score and thinking he could take it to the hole no matter who was in the lane. Thought it would start to sink in slowly once Pike drastically cut his minutes.

REALLY happy. JY brings some juice out there on D & now on O. Love it.
 
Good coaching getting thru to a player who has all the skills to be special and is apparently listening and learning. Win - win!
Hope it continues. Happy for him and need him.
The one dude who has clearly stepped up with Geo out.
 
Becoming best player on team. Lots of crickets out there.
This, hes been our best player since the caldwell game. Kid is now playing under controlled and with measure and purpose. Hes picking his spots and letting the game come to him and not forcing anything. Oh yeah and hes an unbelievable defender as well
