One thing that struck me was how active Jake Voskuhl (and how good) was both down low and at the top of the key. He was confident and assertive in everything he did. No hesitation, very aggressive.
Jake was one of my all time favorites. Without a doubt he improved more over the course of one season (his freshman year) than any other player I have seen anywhere. The first time I saw him (very early his freshman year) he took an open eight footer and missed by nearly five feet (it was a good thing he missed as the shot may have broken the rim if it was on line). By the end of the season (especially in the NIT) he looked like a solid collegiate center. The kid was easy to root for.One thing that struck me was how active Jake Voskuhl (and how good) was both down low and at the top of the key. He was confident and assertive in everything he did.

The loudest game I ever attended. Lost my voice. Getting cursed at by Jonnie fans after was great, just smiled and waved in the rear view mirror.I was also there...... high energy and just a great college basketball game.......as I said in another post it was a loss for the Garden and NYC hoops fans when Jarv-ass changed the dynamic of the rivalry and stopped playing Saturday games there in order to keep the Husky fans away for the most part. It worked but it hurt his university and the game, not the Huskies!!
Jake's role on this team is vastly under appreciated. I'd sure love to have a Vokshul clone on the team today.One thing that struck me was how active Jake Voskuhl (and how good) was both down low and at the top of the key.
