He's 25 of 50 from 3 since the UNC game. He is shooting with a lot of confidence. Fun to see.

CW has mentioned a few times it’s not written in stone but the thought is he’ll be back. Wants to pursue grad degree.
Suck it losers. Here’s what I said three years ago. Granted I thought Leech would pan out too.
I have 0 insider info but how much he loves Otz and how little NBA potential he has I'd guess it's at least 50/50
His consistency shooting absolutely transforms this team on offense. And he works so hard on defense and rebounding. It isn't like he half asses on other areas of the game and just floats around the 3 pt line looking for a good shot.
There were some plays on D last night where he just made OU look silly. I can only imagine the defensive stopper and intimidating player he could be next year if he takes the extra year.
Last year, he was a good player. Got out of position once in awhile on D and had a good shooting night every couple of games. This year, he's a plus defender, great rebounder as a wing, and has become much more consistent from 3. I agree that he may well be team MVP.
I didn't have very high hopes but his shot selection has been better, his confidence appears to be growing, and his effort on the floor is unmatched. I think it's that effort in every facet of the game that helps define this team. It's infectious and everyone is playing their ass off.
I have always loved his energy/effort and was very much "meh" on his offense, but his shot selection and offense has been great too. He'll be remembered as a great cyclone.
Yeah, that documentary deal they put out a few days ago he commented on he and Otz' relationship.
My guess is their relationship will allow them to have a very open/honest "what is best for all" type of discussion (but also could see him coming back to be with Otz one more year in whatever role Otz would need).
And first in minutes, second in FTM (shooting 84%) and third in steals
he has more steals (20) than TOs (19) or assists (17)
I bagged on Grill frequently up until this season, mostly in defiance of those who swore he was the best thing since sliced bread before he did anything to deserve the hype. I love him now. Seems like he is probably the 3rd or even 2nd most important player on the team currently. He is just flying around out there like a wild man, scrapping after loose balls, frequently leading the team in rebounding as a 6'3'' white boy, and shooting lights out as of late.
Iowa State finally has their own version of Phil Forte (aka short annoying white guy).
