All I know is every game I watched on the internet...I go in looking for Trey...I try to focus on what he is doing and every time.....I come away thinking....DANG that Jacobi kid is good!! That kid a WINNER. He kinda has this aura around him when he is playing that can and does at times over shadow even a super talented D1 Gatorade player of the year....and that is wow! That has to effect the voting....you are watching game tape and film and trying to decide on a player of the year and at the same time all you do is keep coming away impressed with this other kid on the floor that isn't even in the discussion. So you naturally bias your decision for Furst because he isn't being distracted from in the same way. Add that to the fact Trey missed a decent chunk of the season...does it play a factor??? I gotta think so. Trey losing out on Mr. Basketball is not a crime. It's a perfectly reasonable outcome. If Jacobi were to not make the All Star team.....THAT would be a crime. I know I'm going to be watching Toledo whenever I can next season, because, as you said, he is really fun to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games did Trey end up missing this year...and how many did it take for him to ramp up? Yeah even though he is the most gifted and talented player in the state I didn't think he had a shot at Mr. Basketball....so I thought Furst would win given his and his teams performance this year. That said I kinda was surprised by what Barnhizer accomplished this year. I didn't know much about him. I wish I would have followed him to see if he was more deserving of challenging for the title because dang his numbers were IMPRESSIVE.

dgambill Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Definitely not a crime. We've seen some bad decisions over the years...let's say political decisions...and geographical decisions. I remember watching Randolph and Jefferies play each other and it was zero doubt who was the best player on the court...zero...there are other examples obviously but this decision wasn't contraversial imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as trey i thought he was still neck and neck if not the front runner I just think thr reasons you mentioned swayed the people who had he and Caleb interchangeably at 1-2. There were 160 votes to the top three 73-47-40 and I feel like the 40 That voted for brown were voting for him no matter what. The other 120 certainly had some for Caleb or TK no matter what but I’m positive the undecideds of that group had Caleb and trey 1-2 the difference was those swing folks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I would have followed him to see if he was more deserving of challenging for the title because dang his numbers were IMPRESSIVE. He missed the first 5 games of the year. And, as I mentioned earlier, 2 of those ended up being losses for SC that would not have happened had he played. Probably another 3-4 games after that before he was 100%. Jacobi's stats in the 5 games Trey missed 44/18 32/13 36/12 31/11 33/13 (against Furst and Blackhawk) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown barnhizer JR Furst Kaufman then avance Wesley goode jacobi and Hughes ( although at this point Hughes and jacobi could possibly be left off which is absurd ) would be the two lineups I’d send out that I think would play very very well together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No unfortunately my work requires I quarantine for 14 days if I fly anywhere...so I'd use way to much leave time.
