Well obviously if you’re comparing him to NBA Matt Thomas there’s no comparison. If you’re comparing him to sophomore year at Iowa State, there’s a comparison.

Not sure why this is so hard to understand.
Some people have ****** memories. They don’t even remember wanting Thomas gone and saying how bad he was. They just remember them as they are now.
I obviously don't see any comparison to sophomore years in the post. Even then, I don't see it.

It's just words in a press release, man. Never bother parsing these PR statements for facts. Just telling a story.
I don’t think you remember Thomas early years, and that was before they moved the 3pt line.
But a lot of people seem to not comprehend the difference of moving the line made for everyone.
You should probably try looking at them at the same stage of their careers then.
People keep thinking that “comparing” means “equating”. It doesn’t.
Per 24/7, Matt Thomas #67 national ranking coming out of HS. Caleb Grill, #175. Same stage of their career.
Which means what after their sophomore years? Lol take the L kid.
We're obviously in two different camps. Can't take an L when he hasn't stepped foot on campus yet to prove your point of "after their sophomore year". Matt Thomas became an NBA player in the years following his sophomore year. Does Caleb Grill do the same? Maybe. But I don't see the similarities between the two.
No one is saying he’s going to have the career Matty Ice has. They are talking about how similar they are at this stage of their careers. You’re writing Grill off, just like you did Matt Thomas before he became the Matt Thomas you’re thinking of now.
Show me where I wrote either one of them off. I'm just not seeing the comparison. Stanz wrote that Grill would likely come off of the bench next season as a junior. My memory may be incorrect, but I don't think Thomas was coming off the bench his junior year.
A welcomed problem. Maybe with 1 or 2 more, we'll be able to have quality practices to start the season and throughout.
But speaking of that, does anyone think someone from last year's team will transfer out yet (no names please) knowing we picked up Gabe, Tyrese, and Caleb today? Hopefully not. Just because we would hope they are willing to compete like heck for those minutes you spoke of.
Thomas really struggled shooting in some games his freshman and sophomore seasons, but his defense was not all that great either. As I recall he played on a team that only played zone in HS. Chances are that he will never be as good as Thomas, but we can hope so.
Your memory is incorrect. Matt didn't start as a sophomore and didn't his junior year til Naz shut it down for the season.
I like her enthusiasm as she approaches the grill.
You heard the man, fire it up!
