Who Is running the Grinnell system?

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I found it, through the 12th of February it was Ryan Race of Pitt-Bradford with 55 against Marrietta.  I think your boy might have it as of now.


Grotberg is tied with himself, among others at #10 with 45 points.  He's the only one in the top ten more than once.  Although Kyle Myrick has scored 40+ five times this season.

Thanks Hoops Fan....I wonder how many of the top 10 are against the System vs. how many from the System 

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I don't remember is Marrietta is still using the system, if they are 1 is against Marrietta, 1 against Grinnell, 1 against Westminster.  There are five games tied in the #10 spot, two of them are by Grotberg and one by a guy from Westminster.

However, not that it matters for this game in particular, I noticed the NCAA didn't have record of Carroll's 150 point game against Grinnell in their system, so there may be a few games missing from this.

I do believe Marietta is using it - or a kin to it.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I thought so.

Lincoln beats Penn State-Abington 115-83 at home on Senior Night.  Senior Kyle Myrick dropped a career high and school record 62 points, breaking Jarrett Kearse's 54 points established  February 12. 2005.  Myrick also had 7 steals, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, and has "upped his average to 32.8 ppg.  Myrick's topped the 1500 pts, and is No. 2 on Lincoln's All-Time scoring list with 1,512 pts.



So what's up next for Amir, Jordis?

So what's up next for Amir, Jordis?

Amir did string together a nice run of 4 games, putting in 47, 34, 57 and 45 in consecutive games.  With one game remaining on Thursday, he may be inspired by Myrick's performance...unfortunately he's not playing Penn State-Albington, rather one of the top defensive teams in the country, Pomona-Pitzer.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

Good luck on that.  Myrick is a pretty special player though, under more normal circumstances he probably wouldn't be in d3 anyway.

Hoops Fan-
What is his story? I'm not familiar with him or Lincoln out side of reading the NCAA stats every week.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

ESPN.com did a story on him a while back.  Here it is.  He grew up in a rough area, spent some time in prison and is now turning his life around.  He's 26 and will probably be invited to one of the pre-draft camps.  I'm guessing he'll be a 2nd round NBA pick somewhere.  He's very connected to Philly natives in the NBA.  Great d3 story.

Thanks for the link, Hoops! I remember the story now!

(Amir Mazarei) Nobody's done a story on him, he grew up in a modest neighborhood north of Los Angeles, never been to prison.  He's a 21 year old junior in college, Co-Sida 2nd Team All-District with a 3.5 GPA in Accounting.  Averages 25.5 points per game, not connected to anyone in the NBA and won't enter the draft....Great d3 story.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I think they are all great d3 stories, especially when he goes into medical school or law school or to wall street.  He got to play ball and gain all those things d1 schools use to jusitfy the money they spend on their programs, but he worked hard to pay for them.

Jordis, that sounded a little defensive...

Jordis, that sounded a little defensive...

I can see that now that you say it, but not my intention....I was just trying to illustrate that there are many great d3 stories out there... I am extremely impressed with Myrick's ability and desire to continue on given his life's circumstance.  But I am also equally impressed by Day Ivy of Caltech, Amir Mazarei of Redlands, Paul Nordlund of Grinnell, Jordan Kemper of Wheaton, Keven Bradley of Lawrence, Adam Dauksas of Illinois Wesleyan, Chase Curtiss of Puget Sound and thousands of others across the d3 country.
