hoosiertildeath Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 SFCC did not put out box scores for their Jamboree games !! However , this is what I could find out in the written article :::: Grant has had 2 games in which he scored 21 points in one 25 minute game and 9 points in another 25 minute game !! And in another 25 minute game , Gelon led SFCC with 3 STEALS !!!! Sorry , but I could not obtain the FULL Stats line for Gelon , but it sounds like he is off to a really good Start at SFCC !! SFCC's first regular season FULL game is on Friday November 3 , 2017 ! ONLY 16 more days ( and only 10 more days until IU tips off versus Marion !!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I believe he will be moving back up to D-1 next year. At least from what I have been told. This season is just to be able to work on his game, while not being forced to sit out for one year. Not all D-1 ball is Big Ten BB..... which I know you are aware of. Kid is a good kid. Kid is an Indiana kid. Kid is a "Region Rat". And because of all of that, I can only wish him the best.

Mile, I'm genuinely confused by this. You're willing to root for Grant after going out spewing vitriol (or at least his family, have to think that didn't happen against his wishes though) but not a kid like Cody Zeller who did much more for IU and was nothing but class? Just because Cody left to go play in the NBA and Grant left because he isn't a good basketball player? Color me confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant, who is from the region, was never going to be an essential part of the team. On the other hand, Cody who was from the other part of the state (no affront to Washington, been there too) , could have moved his team to greater heights, had he not left early for the NBA. Two completely different scenarios. One was never going to be a difference maker. The other one was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosiertildeath Posted October 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 As has been reported on this Forum , Grant Gelon has committed to Missouri State where he will play for two seasons , 2018-2019 & 2019-2020 !! ( P.S.- I never thought I's Live to see the year 2020 , but I'm hoping that I do ,vbg!) I hope that Grant will have TWO Great Seasons with Missouri State !! I think the kid is a BETTER player than he has ever been given credit for ( at least in some IU Fans opinion anyway !!!) At least Missouri State is going to give him his chance in the MISSOURI Valley Conference which is a decent conference ! ( See Wichita State nearly breaking IU's unbeaten record and Northern Iowa's so called upset of KANSAS in the BIG DANCE) !! I KNOW-Wichita State has now joined the American Athletic Conference ! They were in the MVC though when they nearly beat those [censured] kaintucky cheaters !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosiertildeath Posted October 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 In SFCC's final two jamboree 25 minute games , SFCC was led in scoring in BOTH games by Grant Gelon with 18 points in one 25 minute game and 13 points in another 25 minute game !! Grant is off to a good start !! Only 9 more days until GG gets to play in a full Regular Season game ! I'm hoping that GG averages somewhere between 15 & 20 points per game !!!

hoosiertildeath Posted November 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Grant Scored 14 points in SFCC's 106 to 70 win if game ! !1 In Game 2's 90 to 86 win , Grant scored 15 points !! He did not play in SFCC's 3rd. game and I could not find any reason why he did not play ! ( I hope he didn't get arrested for shoplifting , vbg !!! ) They do not play again until Friday November 17 ,2017 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosiertildeath Posted November 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Personally ,I've been an IU Basketball fan since 1948 ! I think Grant Gelon got SHAFTED by IU !! He is an INDIANA born and bred Hoosier who wanted to play FOUR SEASONS for IU !! However , he apparently was told that he wasn't wanted any more by IU !! Had that happened to me , I too would be ROYALLY PISSED OFF !! I think Grant Gelon is a damn GOOD kid and a GOOD player ! All fans of Indiana High school basketball should be interested in what happens to one of the State's better High School Players ! I am HOPING that he has a SUPER Career at State Fair Community College and eventually at Missouri State !! I think Archie Miller is a good Coach !! However , I feel that he should not have ran GG away from IU !! At any rate , I will continue to ROOT for both Indiana University and Grant Gelon !! ( That's because I'm such a sweet guy ,VBG !!)

T-Free20 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 I feel bad for the kid, but it is what it is. IU was the biggest offer he received, and that's probably only because Crean wasn't very consistent with his recruiting. Every year he was accepting commitments from kids that should never play high major basketball. This is a perfect example of Coach Miller recognizing that. Grant just isn't good enough to get off the bench at a school like IU. From what I could dig up, here were the schools interested in him, and possibly offered: Toledo Iona Western Carolina IUPUI UIC Western Michigan Lipscomb Give me the same offer list and I'll commit to IU 100 times out of 100, but I would do it knowing I wouldn't play just because it's IU.

hoosiertildeath Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Grant Gelon was back in action last night as he led SFCC in scoring with 20 POINTS in their 91 to 36 ROMP !! Keep on keeping on , Grant !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
