Why wasn't he recruited in Wisconsin? He's from Black River Falls:

Who cares about points? It's more impressive that he got off 108 shots in a 40-minute game!

Grinnell is a great school. He is likely a student then athlete.

Because their coach recruits players that buy into his system. They play a volume game. Find a youtube video of how their offense is run. Basically, its 5 man line changes every 4 minutes and non stop running and shooting within the first 10 seconds of the shot clock.
Its a gimmick, but it has been successful for Grinnel

Because he's a 5'10" chucker.

He transferred from UW-Lacrosse
I've seen Grinnell play live a couple of times. It really is only interesting for about five minutes, and then it starts offending my basketball sensibilities.

Please...It is Grinnell...Two N's and Two L's
I have been telling people that my whole life... ;)
I hope they were playing on the court from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
That's the only way to justify 71 three point attempts.

Live about 25 miles from Black River Falls. Watched him play probably a dozen times in HS. Same general attitude in HS. Not much interesting in playing a team-first style. Perfect fit for Grinnell.

Some damn good pheasant hunting around Grinnell.
I'd have to look back, but I don't recall they ever made even a sectional in his years of HS. He thought he was a D1 player; so he went to a prep school out East somewhere, then a year at UW-L as someone mentioned, now at Grinnell.
Tweet says Madison Memorial played Black River Falls when Vander and Taylor were seniors.
Is this true?
Must suck to be his teammate
I don't know, not playing defense and having the rest of the team pass up open looks just to feed this one kid definitely seems a bit of mockery to the game.

No such thing as a give-and-go play with Taylor.... ;)

I'll check. I'd be awfully surprised if that was the case. BRF played a pretty weak non-league schedule those years.
Closest thing they played to a big school his senior year was Marshfield. And no, they didn't even make a sectional in his years there.
It's a fraud, don't encourage it.

You should bag more than a few, if you're willing to take 108 shots. 8-)
