DSM Register talks to Jeff Grayer
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Just seeing the picture of Jeff makes me want him on the bench.
If Danny Manning is good for KU, then Jeff Grayer is good for ISU.
Grayer has as many accolades as Manning except the Natl Championship.

Don't forget a big advantage in addition to a Natl Championship. Manning also has a Bill Self to work with.

However, Grayer has won a game in Hilton Coliseum. :biggrin:
There is also the name recognition nation wide of Danny Manning. However great cyclone fans think of Jeff Grayer, he is not as well known as Manning. Also Manning was brought on the staff and spent for years as team manager and worked on student-athlete development before being an assistant. I hope they do something similar with Grayer because he has no college coaching or experience recruiting.
What can Grayer really bring to ISU basketball? I'd be all over this hire if the program wasn't in shambles at the moment. Right now McD needs to hire coaches and recruiters, period.
This is the kind of optimism thats good to hear, even though it couldn't be farther from the truth.
By final four I assume you mean we will be one of the final four teams in the Big 12 rankings.
What happened the last time he was here as an assistant. I can remember a preseason basketball tipoff a few years ago where he was introduced as a coach (under LE I think). As I recall he was back here to finish his degree and was going to do some coaching. I don't think I heard anymore about it during the season that year.
Maybe someone who knows the game yet wouldn't be hurt if the whole staff gets blown out of town after one year. I would think that hiring assistants in this situation would be difficult.
