Rodney McGruder, 6-4 guard, Kansas State

Freshman: 12.5 min., 3.9 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 0.5 apg
Sophomore: 29.7 min., 11.7 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 3.0 apg

McGruder is a good shooter as well as a silky, bouncy athlete. He reminds me a little bit of former Memphis guard Rodney Carney. McGruder is going to benefit the most from the graduation of Denis Clemente, because not only can he create points for himself and others, he is also a terrific perimeter defender. Through three games he is the Wildcats' leading rebounder and second-leading scorer

Lead the team in rebounding but he needs to work on missing free throws and fouling out of games if he wants to step into that title.

A hair less  dobermany than Dom simply from a body composition standpoint, but all and all a considerable upgrade at virtually everything else basketball related.  The band-aid also contributes nicely to his scrapping, junkyard persona.  Not afraid to tussle and get his paws dirty.  Very happy with this development.

Should he wear the band-aid all year? Perhaps someone needs to make a big sign of a band-aid..

Pretty sure they added a band-aid to the giant head poster of him.  I may be thinking of Wally though.
