Jacob Stanuel-Taitte has signed and committed to Capilano University in Vancouver. He will suit up for the Blues next season.<\/p>\n
The 6\u20194 guard has been with the Rockets programme for the 2 years and has developed into a very versatile player for both the JMA Rockets and D1 men\u2019s team. Head Coach Alan Keane has been highly impressed with Jacob\u2019s development whilst with the Rockets:<\/p>\n
\u201cJacob has developed into a very versatile player. His shooting and finishing ability combined with his effective use of the dribble make him very hard to guard. A deep thinker on and off the court has allowed Jacob to develop a good tactical mindset and strong understanding of the game. He will certainly flourish at the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jacob is excited for his next step in his career but also grateful for all those at the Rockets that have helped him on his basketball journey:<\/p>\n
\u201cMy two years at JMA has been a special journey for me as I\u2019ve seen myself grow as a player and as a person. The coaching staff here has also helped me through challenging times to prepare me for my next step in Vancouver.\u201d<\/p>\n
We wish Jacob all the best as he takes his next step in his basketball career!<\/p>\n
