JG ended up averaging double figure PPG his frosh year

2nd on the team in 3's made, behind Eddie Lucas (who would actually go on to be drafted late 2nd round by the Jazz in 1999).. The top 5 on that 1997-98 team in minutes played was: Grindstaff Russ Wheeler Rolan Roberts Brenden Dunlop Lucas Myron Guillory was a Senior on that team. Only player 6'9" or above on the roster? Alvaro Tor. Man that seems like a lifetime ago
