Tritons' marksman led Division I basketball qualifiers in 3-point percentage last season as a sophomore
It’s unclear if sleuthing instincts come naturally to UC San Diego basketball coach Eric Olen or whether one case involving his program simply is as open and shut as it seems.
Kosakowski hit his first and only attempt in the first half, then waited 15 minutes and 44 seconds before getting another — nailing a wing 3 with 12:55 to play. He finished the game 2-for-6 with the bulk coming after the game was decided.“He’s an exceptionally hard worker,” Olen said. “I can’t remember a day of practice in the last four years that I didn’t walk in and he was already there shooting and putting up shots. There are very few days if you walk through out gym, where he’s not there.
As tipoff approached, Kosakowski drained nine 3s in a row before a miss, then nailed the next 10. A manager ran at him as he calmly made another. The manager then stood close enough to identify Kosakowski’s dinner choice.“Historically, we’ve had a lot of really good shooting teams and players who could shoot the ball well,” Olen said. “I would put Jake at the top of that list.”
Then there’s the man bun. Wound tight, it makes Kosakowski stand out … in the unlikely chance defenders failed to notice all those 3s raining down.That’s hardly the only thing that makes the gunner unique. In a college sports world where player biographies are filled with interests that include TikTok videos, something on Kosakowski’s list earns a second glance. And a third.“Yep, 1,000 percent,” he said. “I’m not a big spender, per se. But it’s fun to do with friends and teammates.
