in the Strib article, they had a quote from Jacobsen that addresses the position issue:
Gophers assistant Marcus Jenkins and Johnson have sold Jacobsen on the versatility of big men in their program, especially last season's leading scorer and rebounder Dawson Garcia, a 6-11 junior.
"We talked about how they play, and how I would fit into the system," Jacobsen said earlier about the Gophers. "They like to play through their bigs. Since I'm able to stretch the floor and shoot, I wouldn't be stuck on the block there."
An inside presence with his shot blocking ability, Jacobsen has shooting range extended out to three-point territory. He said he patterns his game after 7-footers such as Utah Jazz's Lauri Markkanen in the NBA and UConn's Donovan Clingan and Duke's Kyle Filipowski in college.
