Continue ReadingSpringfield Lutheran 2017 center Jacob Pfeiffer is a 6’8” post from central Illinois. He has a physical body and some tools to work with. Great size and is active around the hoop. Knows how to position his body and is a solid rebounder. Prospect that the more games he gets under his belt the better he should continue to get.
Pfeiffer ran with the Illinois Bears 16U on the travel team circuit this past summer.
“It was really good. I got a lot more opportunities to do things that I wouldn’t normally be able to do. I got to play against different players. I got to go to some different AAU tournaments. I worked a lot on rebounding and running. Since we usually only had about seven or eight guys so there was a lot of running. It was a really good experience.”
How would he break down his game?
“I have a lot to work on playing on the inside. I have been working a lot on the outside shot and getting it all together. I have to finish a little better. I probably don’t have as much vertical as everybody else so I have been working a lot on hook shots and up and unders. I have been trying to get positioning down. Be in the right areas when point guards drive in. Know when people are cutting.”
He spoke about his upcoming high school season and what he is excited for with that.
“We have a new coach this year. I am looking forward to the new energy we are going to get. I think we are going to do a lot more running. I am looking forward to being a junior this year and being able to play a little more.”
What is going on with recruiting?
“I have heard from a couple D1’s very briefly just asking for my email. I have heard from a couple D2’s. I have been looking at a couple D2 schools in St. Louis that I am interested in. I was looking at Central Missouri and Missouri S&T.”
