The 6-foot-3 Maize, Kan. native is rated as the No. 480 player in the 2019 recruiting class by 247Composite. He is considered the No. 70 point guard in the class and No. 12 player in the state of Kansas, but was courted by a handful of Power 5 schools.
“We are really excited to add Caleb to our program,” Steve Prohm said in a release. “We were really fortunate that he opened up his recruitment after the coaching change and once that reopened we jumped in there right away. He has a chance to really be a special player here and he checks all the boxes for what we want as an Iowa State basketball player on and off the floor. He’s a really, really good athlete that played and excelled in many sports in high school. He brings a toughness and competitiveness to the table as a freshman that will help our team.”
Grill, who officially visited Ames early last week, chose the Cyclones over other finalists Kansas State and UNLV. He will have an opportunity to come into the program and make an immediate impact as a shooter and combo guard capable of playing several positions in Iowa State’s guard-heavy offensive attack.
His commitment leaves Iowa State without any spots officially open at this point, but the program is expected to end up with two available scholarships assuming Lindell Wigginton and Talen Horton-Tucker keep their names in the NBA Draft as expected.
Stay tuned to Cyclone Fanatic throughout the afternoon for more on this story.
