Caleb Grill is Returning to Iowa State
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Exactly why some feel a need to compare players then argue about it is beyond me. **** ain't binary, it's just an opinion.
Pretty sure Schuster and Steyer both graduated early, and moved onto real life.
Javan Johnson was on the team during Grill's freshman year. He was just on a redshirt.
So really it is three old teammates, not two, plus whoever for walk-ons.
Sounds like we should consider loaning players for playing time. Does Northern Illinois want to partner up?
I read somewhere that Schuster is in the transfer portal but could be wrong. I wouldn’t see much point in grad transferring for basketball if I were him. Unless he wants to give DII or DIII a go.
So we'll get 4-5 pts/game and NAIA level jokes on the horizon. Great.
Did you see we also picked up a 3 year Big 10 starter and a recommitment from the #35 player in the nation and top 5 PG in high school yesterday?
Lighten up.
Welcome back, Caleb! CF: Stop overthinking it.
Let's eatFire it up boys.
If Grill can return, I see no reason that JLH gifs can't return.
They left??Let's eat
If Grill can return, I see no reason that JLH gifs can't return.
Considering that we just landed a 3 year Big 10 starter and a recomittment from a 4 star PG, I feel like the answer is a no
This thread was about Grill...I did not talk about the last transfer or the PG that reaffirmed his commitment nor did I bring up the first two commits which are probably a reach.
I think y'all are trying a bit too hard to make Grill more than he currently is. I attribute some of that to the "no-Prohm" bounce that some ascribe.
I see no comparison between the two. Matty Ice was a flat-out shooter with a textbook form who lived & breathed BB and struggled a bit his first two years - I think it was due to adapting to the athletic talent and physical rigors at this level. He obviously figured it out. He worked his butt off. One of my favorite plays was the steal and dunk he had against KU in Hilton - shocked me with the athleticism he showed.
Grill was an outstanding all-around athlete in HS who played BB some of the time. He's obviously focusing full time on BB now, but, even after watching a few UNLV games this year, he looks like a really good athlete who's still getting accustomed to BB. Sure seems to be a hard worker, so I expect he'll contribute, but, while I see a nice shot, I don't see the sweet form of Matty Ice. Would be surprised if Grill is more than an energy guy off the bench who hits a few threes at times - and hopefully a lefty dunk or two. Hope I'm wrong and that he develops to more than that. Either way, glad he's aboard.

Another hard worker and he has some upside and three years remaining. I can see him being a good role player his Junior and Senior year.
With Kalscheur supposedly planning for 2 years in Ames, it's unlikely Grill will be in a starting role anytime soon. That's ideal for how to best utilize him IMO. Depending on who we still add for next year, I see Grill as a 18-20 min off the bench guy. He'll be a hard worker and team leader for TJ as well.
