Wednesday Headlines: Jacob Toppin Breakout Edition Share this story Justin Ford-USA TODAY Sports Kentucky fans got a glimpse of Jacob Toppin last season, but this year, he’s aiming for more and his goals are pretty high. Toppin has long been known for being the younger brother of Obi, the national player of the year two years ago and a top 10 NBA Draft pick. But Jacob told KSR he thinks he can be even better than his brother. “Yes, I do,” Jacob told the large group of media members at Thomas Nelson High School. “I think I have the confidence in myself that I can be better than him. Right now, I’m probably not, but I can definitely be better than my brother.”
