Jason Jakstys looked like a legitimate high major big man prospect. At 6-foot-9, he’s still a little on the lean side. But he’s got big shoulders to grow into, he can run and he’s a pretty competitive dude with a well-rounded overall skill set.
Jakstys can step out to hit three-point shots, he does a nice job of rotating on defense to block or alter shots, he sprints from rim-to-rim, is a lob threat and shows a lot of signs of being able to score at the next level. Now, he may benefit from a redshirt year if he chooses to go the high major route. The offer from the Illini was a big one and we’ll be interested to see if other Big Ten type programs step up with an offer. He certainly looks to be good enough for them.
July's first live period produced several stock boosting performances.
