JT has a bit of Jeff Moe spazziness to his game, can bring it up a little out of control sometimes, but he's young and I love his speed and ability to penetrate and break down the D.

Would have never expected that comparison.

The spazziness will most likely get more under control. He'll end up being a solid player in his time at Iowa. I don't think he's going to be unbelievable or anything but who knows. I thought the same thing about Garza and look where he's at.

Don't worry Thad Matta is coming to save the day, LOL
It's almost as bad as the Beilein wishing.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Beilein, but he's old as ****. We're doing this again in four or so years after he takes over regardless of performance in that case.

Grill is a freak athlete with good size for a guard. He's never focused on just basketball. They talk about that all the time.

His ceiling is why teams like Texas Tech, Kansas State, Creighton, etc wanted him and why he was a top 175 recruit

freak athlete means nothing to me. It’s nice to be athletic but the Iowa kid is a good basketball player. George and monte were not the best athletes. They were great basketball players though.

Toussaint is not a good basketball player. He's shooting 36% from the floor and 18% from 3 lol

Allen Iverson, LOL. Why don't you just compare the South Dakota St. commit to Bo Jackson while you are at it.
Grill had more P-5 offers in his spring period than Iowa's entire 2020 class does lol. And I wasn't comparing Grill to Allen Iverson, I was bringing him up in reference to your statement that multi-sport athletes shouldn't play basketball.

Garza went from an average post to an all-american in one season. Grill can certainly improve from bad to solid.
If you factor in defense Garza was probably below average.
Benji said Garza shouldn't start for any power team in the Country, and you can be assured one of these "new" Iowa posters is Benji.
Now, Luka is a top 5 college basketball player today. I'm not worried about his draft potential when I make that statement, he's turned himself into a really good college basketball player.
