Caleb Grill with 24 for UNLV

[brokenloginagain]

I think Grill didn't want to get his brains beat in for the rest of his career in the b12.

Had a chance to play for the coach he originally committed to and figured he'd get more minutes.

Good move so far for Caleb!

Grill at ISU was like when you’re banging a hot chick and can’t nut.

Ya this is something I've never experienced.

Last season, after roster was depleted by injuries and Grill was forced into a more-active role, he seemed to have better flow, he looked more comfortable. Prior to that, I swear I didn't see him make a basket for 3 months.

Grill looked like a stud last night. He looked the part last year but struggled to get his shots to fall. I think he could have been a fan favorite here given more time.

Change of scenery, conference, competition, are all weird run arounds from saying change of coach who doesn’t have every player regress except his lead PG every year he’s been a head coach.

I am surprised by how much Jenkins has struggled for them so far. They really only have two guys that have been doing anything for them, Grill and Hamilton.

There is plenty to be desired with Prohm, but he's had plenty of players develop under him.

Yeah I thought he could be our next matty Ice sharp shooter

I think we'll look back after his college career and realize he would have been a great long-term piece for us. He's one I think "got away". Didn't feel that way about Lard, THT or Wiggs...

I feel like she clarified her comments on Twitter, but maybe not.

I believe she did and was very clear she didn't hold CSP responsible..

You didn’t think it was big losing THT and Wigginton?

 

[SolarGarlic]

You could see this coming. He had a good shot, but his confidence took a hit. Looked like he was trending the right direction at the end of the year. I'm not saying we havent/can't find a better replacement, but just another miss from Prohm.

 

[SpokaneCY]

No, that will happen if he ever plays ISU

We have the make-a-wish kids come out with 1 arm and mismatched legs and they go off for 30 against us!

Make-a-Wish is a fine organization BTW...

Addition by subtraction... If they had half-way accepted their roles and acknowledged the rest of the team we'd be in a great spot. Hoping we replaced them with better team-oriented pieces...

Mods should definitely pin this thread and the Bowen Born thread to the top so we can be sure to keep tabs on their stat lines over the next 4 years

CSP has put 8 PGs into the league? That should be a record!

Ames was obviously too wild for the kid from Kansas.

He needed a slower paced scene.

Nader, Burton, Mitrou-Long, Thomas, Shayock all made big improvements under Prohm. Developing bigs might be an issue. Really need Conditt and Foster to develop well.

Agreed. I’d add NWB and Solo to that list. Tyrese also made a huge jump after his freshman year. Excited to see how Tre Jackson looks when he gets back.

Were there reports of Grill looking really good in practice last year, but it just wasn’t transferring in the games? I think he probably has improved but also benefits from no crowds.

I think we’re like three games in to the season.

I think any time you lose 2 top 50 talents who would likely develop into being all big 12 caliber players is a big loss. This roster could definitely use someone like THT for his versatility, Lindell with his grit and big play ability. I agree it was good to cut ties with Lard though.
