Caleb Grill

[ForeverIowan]

Tough, plus athlete, plays with a fearless/reckless attitude which I love. He and Leech on the wing for the next few years would be nice! Has a bit of an Adam Haluska type of game coming out of highschool. More of a pure athlete than basketball player right now.

So...why isn’t TJ trying to take him to Vegas? They have open spots.

The staff will know.

I think you could easily play them both together. I think they would both be takes at this point.

Agree. If we’re playing small ball going forward, it would be nice to actually have multiple pgs and combo guards.

It appears like Jackson, Haliburton, and Grill can shoot. Haliburton has the length to get time on the wing with Leech. Nadolny has the size to be a Naz type imo. Add in Anderson’s shooting and handling at the 4 and Conditt’s rim protecting. It’s a great core, albeit a year or two away.

Too bad basketball doesn't have individualized intros like baseball. Caleb picked the wrong sport.

Do we know he's not?

 

[Cyder91]

FWIW: I heard he reached out to ISU. Loves the Cyclones. Etc. Sounds like ISU will have a real chance if they offer.

when are you vacationing so we know when to expect the offer and commit?

Does every thread about basketball need to turn into a **** storm of negativity? We get it. Some people like Prohm and some people don't. Literally thousands of posts about this very topic. In every basketball thread. Since February.

I miss the good old days of CF where we talked about coupons, planes, treadmills, Chizik leaving for Auburn, Harrison Barnes, and the always thought-provoking "good news" thread. It was a happier place then.

Agree. The Prohm debate doesn't belong in recruiting threads.

This article lists him at 6'4".

Someone posted an article in the Recruiting thread where the kid talks about how TJ never contacted about him taking the UNLV job and hasn't spoken to him. Kid seemed pretty upset about it which is why he opened up his recruiting.

Did you watch his Senior or his Junior video? I haven't seen his Junior video, but his Senior year is pretty impressive.

I liked his junior video. Most of it was shot at a lower camera angle. Gives you a really good idea that the kid is a great athlete.

 

[clonehenge]

And of course after I posted the above I found this article where he talks about possible going to UNLV if TJ recruits him again.

Maybe TJ said something along the lines that he will be there to coach him. Or maybe he is still lining up his staff, and has had not had a chance to reach out.

Look if Texas Tech likes a kid, I am all in.

Chris Beard has a great eye for talent, and seems to require a harder nosed kind of player.

 

[OnlyCyclones]

Definitely want. There are reason's the kid isn't a five star but there's also reasons a bunch P6's are jumping in or already offered. Loads of potential. Has a lot Tyrese's good defensive qualities from the look of it, with some added explosiveness.

 

[Hayes30]

He has a very interesting jumpshot. His feet are together when he shoots. I wasn't overly impressed with his video, but I'm also no scout.

Thank god you're not a scout. You would be out of a job soon.

 

[cdface]

Holy highlight reel, Batman! if you don't want that kid after watching that senior video.......boy, I don't know what to tell you.

So he’s not 6’10”? Is he 5 stars?

Do not want!

 

[Cyclonepride]

I had seen his junior year one. Just watched some of this one. I'm sure he could be a good player. Curious to see how good of a ball handler he is. Tends to look down a fast breaks. Looks like a Matt Thomas type player to me with more athleticism. I'd definitely take that.

Quick trigger and can shoot on the fly. Very athletic and explosive. Sign him up Coach!

 

[Knownothing]

I have to be honest. I watched the highlight video. I was shocked that dude was doing reverse ally oop dunks. Like wtf. I don’t know if he is Iowa State level or not. He looks athletic as hell and can shoot it. Nice 4 year player that I can get behind.

 

[tyler24]

No kidding. Don't get me wrong, I was impressed he made every shot in the video. That takes talent.

Headline potential:

Cyclones Grill Jayhawks

This works. I'll accept him into Cyclone Nation.

 

[cyfan92]

His jump shot remids me of Chris Babb. If he's 1/2 the player Chris was, sign me up!!
