I certainly hope not. I would think those schools have better guards in the wings or in the portal though.
Caleb Grill has entered the portal and committed to Mizzou
- Thread starter LLCoolCY
- Start date
I think Caleb would be great at somewhere like Wichita and maybe being closer to home would be a benefit.
I hope he redeems his imagine. He said the right things (on his twitter) at the end and took responsibility.
Wichita is going to have all sorts of minutes available. That makes lots of sense.
He’d be a risk to take after how it ended for him with a coach he followed around only to be let go from the team! Maybe drop down a division would be best for him
I'm surprised a school with the resources of Wichita would be that interested. With no football program they should be able to sign just about anyone they want in basketball
He’s still at Iowa State in an academic sense. He’d need to transfer credits academically as well.
Feels like thatd be the perfect fit. Uptempo run and gun offense. I could see him being their 6th man next year. Instant offense. Mac and Otz are great friends.
Good luck Caleb. Please don't go to the Big 12.
If you do, wouldn't be the end of the world, if it works for you. You'll still always be a Cyclone.

I know this is a Caleb Grill thread, but no word on Ward thus far is a good thing I think…
I wish Caleb the best but if he was struggling with mental health issues not sure how playing another year in a sport that can be stressful at times is going to help him overcome that. Guessing he must have immediate eligibility as a grad transfer with a covid year to use too as he's already transferred twice already. I'm sure he'll find a place to play somewhere but hoping he's in a good spot with his mental health where that is not going to be an issue again.
He'll be a hot commodity if he can prove his downfall at ISU has been or will be resolved. Drake, Creighton, Nebraska, maybe even SDSU.
NCAA documents have not been super clear, but they seem to indicate that if a grad transfer had already used their one-time freebie they would have to apply for a waiver. They’ve also said they’re going to stop handing out waivers like mad. So… who knows?
My thoughts on this: I know everyone's been talking about how the NCAA is going to be cracking down on waivers, and maybe no more "grad transfers" but I gotta think they're going to be approving quite a few immediately eligible transfers, like Grill, mainly just to get them out of college sooner.
They allowed the extra covid year, which at the time seemed like the right thing to do, but it has created a giant backlog of players, and I would think they want to get them out of the system sooner rather than later. Forcing someone like Grill to sit out a year, just to play one more, extends the whole process even more. How they're going to decide all that though, I have no idea.
