Not really, it's the 3rd largest 5A school in Kansas. Larger than pretty much every CIML school here in Iowa. Not saying that means the competition is great, but it isn't like he's playing against rural west Kansas schools with a 6'0" center and an overweight coach that played Junior High ball 45 years ago.

Custer and Frankamp were also not from small schools by enrollment. I should have said from weaker competition than most recruits.

kid did 6'7" in the high jump already this season. high school QB, dunked all the time in bball....let's just call him the next hoiberg.
You say he's going to Nebraska then?
Yeah, I hope we offer him and that he hits it off well with Prohm and the team/staff.
Can Georges, Naz, or Monté "just happen to be in town" that weekend...?
He has some range on his shot which is good. No knock on him, but the competition he played against looked very limited. It is nice to see that he can drive, shoot and distribute. Puts more pressure on the defense.
He sure seems worth the "risk". He may not be an NBA talent but I'm told we shouldn't recruit those guys because they leave too early.
He can always open up a restaurant, after graduation, if he's not pro material.
No risk at all with Grill given the fact it is Spring and the fact we have 2 soon to be three scholarships available.
We need shooters. If you think he'll be able to shoot, get him here.
We were a surprisingly good shooting team last year.
Of the seven tournament teams...
2012 = 37.3% (#54)
2013 = 37.4% (#34)
2014 = 35.8% (#105) -- not what you might have expected for that team
2015 = 36.2% (#84)
---
2016 = 38.7% (#20)
2017 = 40.0% (#12) -- wow, man having Naz, Matt, Monté, and Donovan together was nice
2019 = 36.2% (#81)
Not the best of the run, certainly, but not the worst of it, either.
But your point is correct...
(1.) You can never have too much guard talent. Having a shooter like Grill and a bulldog like Nadolny together is a plus, not somehow a problem.
(2.) You can never have too much guard talent or depth in college basketball.
(3.) We are pretty sure to lose Horton-Tucker, and I have my doubts that Wigginton is going to return, and we are already losing Nick and Marial. At this point, you load the cupboard up with as many wing players as you can. We'll need 'em.
Agree. Love his shot. He would look great canning them from 3 in Hilton. I hope CSP gets him in Cardinal and Gold.
Thought from Wichita fans is that there's a rift between Marshall and his father. K-State would surprise me since EMAW has Chicago POY coming in and another youngster already here, Shaun Neil-Williams. So, ISU might be logical, particularly, for a kid who likes to shoot.
Looks like a shorter version of Sam Dekker or Nik Stauskas
Any other white guy comparisons?

He plays like a guy I drafted in NBA2k once named Mirko Bosjniak.
K-State has the Chicago POY coming in next year? Wouldn't have ever know that outside of the 50 times you've posted that.
I just say a composite of all the white guys from Florida Gulf Coast when they made their tourney run.
This kid can play. Looks like he shot 35% from three. Not great but No weird delivery, it's not slow and he gets off the floor and has good high release. He's got nothing to fix on his shot. Even though Matt Thomas shot a high 3P% as a junior, he shot about 35-36% as a senior I believe.
Love the fact that he plays FB and is QB to boot. Between that and track its likely this kid hasn't played nearly as much basketball as most recruits. He's got a good ceiling.
