That would be impressive as one of the things I really liked about Matt's game that doesn't get talked about a lot was that he was a better than average rebounder from the 2 position.

A more athletic version of a career 44.3% three-point shooter (which is, you know, only the highest in program history) is not an unreasonable expectation at all.
Scott C really cemented his lore with Cyclone fans with his kiss of the logo at center court when he walked off for the last time!
Harris is smaller than Wheeler though his tape looks like a solid defender, Both are listed at 5'9" but Harris was 150 lbs entering his freshman year while Wheeler is 175 lbs right now (per 247 profiles). Wheeler should be able to compete at that size defensively in the Big 12 imo.

Those stats on Tyrus are particularly impressive when you realize he would come off the bench cold and fire as soon as he could! That and he was the energizer bunny. Can't remember anyone that came up with more of the 50:50 balls than he did off pure hustle.
Can't say D was the strength of Matt's game his first couple of years. Complete turn-around in the latter half of his ISU career.
How do we even know this? You’ve seen maybe 5 minutes of highlights. It amazes me that fans think their judgment is so solid.
I actually fell into this tweet, but I think it really highlights Grill's athleticism.
Do we get a commit from one of the other freshmen before Grill arrives? Who else is on his visit list?
Oh, and Grill was also first team QB in Kansas' AVCTL 1 last season.
Why are you getting so worked up about this? Dude is an all state quarterback, jumped 6'8"+ in the high jump and is throwing down windmill dunks and alley oops on the basketball court. He is a better pure athlete than Matt Thomas ever was. Period. Doesnt make him a better basketball player though.
i joked about this several threads ago, but if you want to compare grill, I'd go with hoiberg.
big time HS QBs, dunked on people in high school hoops, legit high jumper in track.

Do we really want Grill if he's only going to end up at Nebraska after making us fall in love with him?
Ok, but don't come crying to me if your heart gets broken.
This was literally my first post about it. I’m not worked up. But I don’t consider most of us an accurate judge of anything based on film.
