New Commit

[Skippy]

According to Verbal Commits, Jacob McCord, 6-7,225 F from Big Bend JC, has committed to ISU. McCord is averaging 28 points and 12 rebounds a game, and leads the NWAC in both categories. So ISU has commits from two "bigs" for next year, which is much needed in light of the rebounding performance (-10) so far this year.

He looks more like a 'big' guard who can rebound. Looking at stats and recent news he can shoot the 3.
From BB website
"McCord went 34/61 (56% from the field, including 53% from the arc) tallying a 33 ppg average, 14.67 rebounds a game to go with 4 steals and 4 blocks.

His top performance was against Mesa CC (9-3) where he put up 40 points on 67% shooting including 7-11 (53%) from the arc and 13 rebounds. McCord was named to the all-tournament team."

Size is a benefit either way.

As Bill Evans is fond of saying, "If you want to rebound, recruit a rebounder." If he's averaging 12 rebounds a game that tells me he's a rebounder.

From a pure numbers perspective and not having seen him play, McCord appears to bring a lot to the table. If he follows through on his commitment to ISU I think he'll be a nice addition. The late signing period begins tomorrow and runs through mid-May.
