The Internet has spoken, and Jacob Tucker has been
granted his rightful spot in the college slam dunk contest later this
week in Houston.
The 5-foot-11 guard from Division III Illinois College went viral earlier this month
in his pursuit of a spot in the competition. To date, his video
audition has received more than 2.6 million views on YouTube, and now he
and his supposed 50-inch vertical leap will represent the little guy —
in more ways than one.
The competition will be fierce, as he'll be jockeying with Pitt's
Gilbert Brown, St. John's Justin Burrell, Memphis' Will Coleman, East
Tennessee State's Justin Tubbs, San Diego State's Billy White,
Cincinnati's Darnell Wilks and UNC Asheville's John Williams. None of
them stand shorter than 6-foot-3.
Tucker doesn't care.
"I feel with the dunks I have practiced and the dunks I have in my arsenal, I have a chance," Tucker said.
"I'm not going to leak them out. I will say there's a couple dunks you
haven't seen me do before or some you've never seen before."
Tucker earned his way in by winning a Facebook fan poll, in which the
public voted for one non-Division I-competitor to join the contest. He
beat out Lee University's Larriques Cunningham in a landslide, nabbing
88 percent of the vote.
