2021 Silver Creek forward Kooper Jacobi has committed to Toledo. Jacobi held numerous D1 offers before selecting the Rockets.

Toledo offered Jacboi later than schools like Miami of Ohio, Indiana State, and Ball State but made up ground. In late January, Jacobi told Indiana Basketball Source that Toledo was just entering the picture. Here’s the update from early in 2020.

Although often overshadowed, Jacobi has been a steady player alongside Trey Kaufman. For Silver Creek, Jacobi brings the energy and dirty work around the basket. With his effort players, Jacobi mixed in mid-range and outside shots more and more over the last two years.

As a junior, Jacobi averaged 17 points and 7.7 rebounds per game. At the 2019 FORUM Tipoff Classic, Jacobi exploded for 36 points on 14-19 shooting against Blackhawk Christian. He was on fire from the mid-range in that game. It was the best I’ve ever seen him play.

In the MAC, Jacobi is going to be able to rebound at a high level and score in the lane. The difference between Jacobi being a role player and a major scorer will be his shooting. He’s been a good free throw shooter and productive in the mid-range. During both of those shots, his arch is extremely flat. That’s why his three-point shooting has been inconsistent throughout his high school career. If that improves, Jacobi will have a great career at Toledo.
