Anybody who’s seen the pictures comparing Michael Jacobson now to the Michael Jacobson from the summer of 2015 shouldn’t be too surprised at this news.
Jacobson, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound sophomore forward, scored the highest of any Nebraska men’s basketball player during last week’s Athletic Performance Index testing at the Hendricks Training Complex.
His overall score of 1,664 points is significantly above average and is the team’s closest to the 1,800 threshold that Boyd Epley has said is considered exceptional, or that of All-America or perhaps professional status in any sport.
