Daniel Jacobsen is the most underrated center in the Big Ten. The Purdue Boilermakers sophomore has dominated exhibition play with a staggering 90% shooting percentage and 13 rebounds across two games, signaling a dramatic leap after missing most of last season with a leg injury.

Nick Arvin breaks down Jacobsen's impressive statistical performance against UIndy and Kentucky, his gold medal run with Team USA at the U19 FIBA World Cup, and why his 7'4" frame combined with elite work ethic makes him a future nightmare for conference opponents. The discussion covers Purdue's complete rotation predictions, including why Jacobsen should start over Oscar Cluff, CJ Cox's role as sixth man, and the development of Fletcher Loyer, Omer Mayer, and Liam Murphy. The episode shifts to football with a realistic preview of Purdue's matchup against Michigan and picks across the Big Ten, including Indiana's Francisco Mendoza emerging as a Heisman candidate.

Discover why Jacobsen's sophomore season could reshape Purdue basketball's front court dominance.
