so far averaging 12 minutes and 4 pts for Marquette.....and was seen limping around campus in October. Sounds about right.
Ed Morrow

I’ll still never get why he left. He’d played a ton still even with Roby and Copeland. That would have gave us a solid 3 players for the 4 and 5 position.
Somebody sold him a bill of goods that he could play the 3 at Marquette and help his pro chances. Ain't happening. He should have stayed at NU. We probably go dancing with him last year in his role as a rebounder energy guy off the bench. Instead that's what he looks to be for Marquette with maybe less minutes to be had for him.
On the flip side Jacobson is averaging 16 ppg, 7 rpg and over 29 minutes a game.
Morrow actually started Marquette's exhibition game, went 7 for 8 from the floor, and had 16 points, 6 boards and 2 steals. The next game he only played 6 minutes - not sure if he was injured or what, but he was coming off a good game so I doubt he was deep in the doghouse. In their third game, he played 19 minutes, had 8 points on 4-7 shooting, three blocks and one steal.
The exhibition game stats don't count, which is why he's only averaging 12 minutes per game. But looks like he's getting quite a bit of playing time. Turnovers are still a problem for him, though, as he has 9 total. Too many for the amount of touches he gets.

I took heat a couple of years ago for saying I liked his potential. IMO he was a bigger loss than Ed but both could have helped us.
Marquette is pretty deep at his spot and finding minutes this year was going to be a problem for him according to an article I read a while back. His shooting was the major problem. He's a good player as long as he doesn't put the ball on the floor or try to shoot from outside of about 5 feet.
He's a good college guy under the bucket. Banger. High energy rebounder. Good teammate. His constant injury issues are a problem. I was shocked when he decided to transfer. I think he got some really bad advice. He's not an NBA guy but he's a good role player for a college team.
I took an amazing amount of grief when he left because I called him a good role player but that we needed our starters to be better than him. After a redshirt year with those amazing coaches at Marquette....he still can't dribble or shoot very well. Turnover machine if he tries to put the ball on the floor.
The exact same can be said for Jacobson, who was also apparently told by someone that he could put the ball through a hula hoop from beyond 10 feet, but never did at NU. Either of them would have fit in better with the Huskers after Palmer and Copeland became eligible, but it’s hard to convince 20 year olds that the grass isn’t always greener.

Jacobsen wasn't great from the perimeter but at least he could make an occasional perimeter jumper and he also could take the ball to the hoop without dribbling it off his foot or getting it stolen every single time. Jacobsen's length made him a better defensive option and gave him more potential IMO. Good kid. Wish he had stayed.
Since 18% qualifies as occasional, I agree that Jacobson could make the occasional perimeter jumper. But either he or Morrow would have been a good fit with Watson Palmer Roby and Copeland, with Palmer playing at the 2 guard. That’s a lineup we likely would have seen a lot, both last year and this year. But players leave, that’s just how it works now.
