One of the things that is unique about Richland Northeast in comparison to some other teams that struggled a year ago is their size. They have long athletes, like Jacobs, who showed flashes in the 2025-26 season. Those flashes were on display again on Monday in their open practice, as he looked to catch lobs and be a factor around the rim. Logan still has some raw pieces to his game, but I’m confident that with a full year of constant development, he could be a player worth a shot for a college program.

The highest-ranked new big man is Logan Jacobs Logan Jacobs 6'6" | PF Richland Northeast | 2027 State SC . He really showed some flashes throughout the season, particularly as a shot blocker. Jacobs averaged 1.6 blocks per game in 2025-26, earning a selection to the All-Region team. He is still pretty raw physically and offensively, but he is long and athletic enough to be a lob threat at the next level.

One of the most intriguing prospects at the Hoops for Hope Holiday Tournament is Logan Jacobs Logan Jacobs 6'6" | PF Richland Northeast | 2027 State SC . His playmaking and promise are all in his athleticism and length. When things were going well for the Cavaliers, it was because they were finding him in good positions in the dunker spot or in the paint. Logan favors a power dribble when he gets the ball close to the rim, but he would project as a lob threat with a little bit more physical growth. Jacobs also made his presence felt as a shot-blocker, using his length to make shots more difficult whenever he was in the area. He put up 9 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks in the loss.
