Jacobs, who will attend prep school at Maine Central Institute next year, said he is choosing Pittsburgh due to his familiarity with some of the players and because of the loyalty coach Ben Howland has shown during the recruiting process. "The coaching staff knows me real well, and I played AAU ball with (sophomore) Brandin Knight and Julius and I are close, too," said Jacobs. "Coach Howland is so down to earth. He knows about my problems academic-wise and he was the only one that stuck by me." - Buffalo News
