Verbalcommits.com reports that Toledo has offered 6-11, Australian Center, Jacob Epperson for the 2017 Recruiting Class. He is the son of former Rocket Great, Ken Epperson who played professionally and now coaches in Australia. Ausia Hoops ranks him a 3 Star and the 9th Best Player in their Top 30 2017 Australian Rankings. Besides Toledo, he has been offered by Cincinnati, Eastern Kentucky and IUPUI, and has interest from Texas, Wichita St., Washington St., and Houston. He looks like a 6-11 version of his father!
If he is half the player his father was.............. 04-jawdrop
He'd be 40 inches tall.
Damn....people are crazy literal on this board today.

Follow Daddy's footsteps Jacob
He and Knapke in the front court would be interesting.
Ken was great. A 6'11" prodigy would be exactly what this team needs.




Google points to a couple other videos.
Moves well on the baseline, with the ball.






Some transition clips would be nice. Nice to know he can block and dunk on players a foot shorter. Hard to find a good highlight reel maker.
Good court vision though. In that brief clip, I think he through more passes then Ken did his entire UT career.

He looks like and has his dad's game mainly he keeps his hands up on rebounds which gives him a better chance to make the shot.

A couple very nice touch passes in there.
for big guys you look firstly at hands and feel for the game. he has those 2 things. seems to have a good touch on close and mid range shots too.
If he is half as good as Dad then we will be lucky to get him. Competition not great but he some tools for sure. So he is a senior to be?
