1. It's always a shame when injuries - I recall some thought at the time that Gordon was just as important a recruit as Matt Bradley.
2. I'm curious if Fox has been recruiting with the idea that this (or other) scholarships were likely to come open. I haven't seen or heard any particular indication that we're in on other impact recruits for 2020.
Sometimes you just need a reboot if you've constantly been injured. A fresh start could be what he needs mentally and physically. Also could be he wants to be a bit closer to home with the injuries too. Every player talks about how lonely rehab and being injured is. Can only imagine if you've been basically doing that for 2 years.
Especially when you've defined yourself as a basketball player for much of your young life - and that is taken away from you by injuries. People get homesick, things don't work out. I hope he gets his knee better and ends up being the player I thought he could be when we recruited him.

Best of luck to Jacobi. Tough injuries to come back from.
Yes, good luck Jacobi! Not sure why he is transferring but I hope he ends up in a place where he really wants to be.
