Following a standout junior season for Lake Country Lutheran High School, Jacob Burow has continued that throughout the spring grassroots season with Davis Brothers Elite. In his junior season, he led his team in both scoring and rebounding with 15.3 points plus 7.8 rebounds to earn him conference player of the year as well as all-state honorable mention honors. Between playing on the Adidas Gold circuit in addition to multiple NY2LA tournaments, the 6’3” guard has continued to excel on the hardwood to draw further college interest.
In the spring, he has been one of the leading scorers on the Adidas Gold circuit while averaging 17.8 points per game. With his do-it-all play, he has also added in 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game. This is in addition to being near the top of multiple stat categories at the recent NY2LA Midwest Classic D2 Showcase. The stat line for Burow at this tournament included 13 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.7 steals. “My spring season has been solid. I’ve seen real growth in my game, especially when it comes to playing at my own pace and not letting the defense dictate my decisions. I’ve been focused on development and using every opportunity to compete and get better with Davis Brothers Elite.”
The first thing Burow said to describe his own game was, “two-way player.” Going into further detail, he stated “I shoot the ball at a high and consistent level, and I really take pride in defending. Whether it’s guarding the ball or being in the right help position. I’m working on becoming more athletic and continuing to tighten my ball-handling so I can create at an elite level.”
With his play over the past several months between the spring and his junior season, Burow has continued to get on more college coaches’ radars. “I’ve received a ton of interest from a variety of schools, but I haven’t picked up an official offer yet. I’m building relationships and staying patient with the process.” He is currently seeing interest from both schools at the division two and NAIA levels.
In the upcoming months, Burow is looking to build his recruitment and game. “My main goal is to continue generating relationships with college coaches and prove that I can play at the next level. On the court, I’m locked in on improving my ability to read and maneuver through ball screens, while also sharpening the rest of my game. I also want to keep developing chemistry with my teammates and make a strong push as a group.”
