He'll have to sit a year. He had a strong freshman year, but took a step back this past season. Good shooter, great foul shooter. He should translate well to the MAAC.

He had previously signed with Siena before Patsos left. Also looked at Drexel, HC, and USF according to this article. Looks like a good shooter. We'll take that! Welcome Jake!

"...Wojcik, son of former San Jose State coach Dave Wojcik"
Reminds me of what Bill Belichick looks for in players
“For me, tough, smart, dependable. That’s where I would start. Tough — mentally and physically. Smart — good decisions, good football understanding, high football IQ....We all want great players; we all want as many as we can get. But in the end, there’s a cap on that — I don’t care where you are or what program you’re in."
Seems to be a great fit

Why did his minutes go from 30 to 11 a game this past season?

Great get! Plays tough and nice long distance touch. 3 star recruit ranked No. 44 recruit in California.
FEAR THE DEER!!!

I didn't follow Richmond this past season, but I know they had a great year (24-7, 14-4) in the Atlantic 10. He probably got recruited over. And there was no path to get much playing time next year.

A very sold shooter for two years. Assuming he got passed over at Richmond. Is there something posted that says he’s a tough type player? I missed it.

JY raiding the A-10.

Richmond added a bunch of talent. Went from 13-20 to 24-7. He went from starter to bench guy.

Good get. Nice job by staff.

Here is the Richmond board discussion of Wojcik's transfer.
Looks like he was well-respected, but UR brought in higher level players and his path to playing time diminished, and was likely to go down even more.

Some might remember his dad Dave Wojcik, who played at Loyola from 1987-91.

Interesting note: Former Stag Craig Golden's son Grant plays for Richmond.

Jake Wojcik (6-4) looks like a 3-guard. Given his stats from his Frosh year, I would classify him as multi-talented...... not just a shooter (36.3 from the arc, 80% from FT line).
He posted 1.5 assists with only .7 turnovers, so he has got some handle and passing in his game.
Also 3.5 rebounds a game.... thats respectable for a 3-guard. Maybe not as good a shooter as Taliaferro but Wojcik brings a well rounded game

Can’t think a player the men have brought in that’s the son of a former player. In my era, we brought In Chris Barry, brother of Rich. The women have had a few-Moore and Young off the top of my head.
