So, guess who’s back in the game? It’s Tyon Grant-Foster, the dude who made Grand Canyon University feel like it was on top of the world with its first NCAA Tournament win. Yep, that same guy who was tearing it up in the WAC and snagging the Player of the Year title. Well, brace yourself because he just announced his grand comeback on Instagram. Talk about setting the court on fire!
And it’s not just Grant-Foster making waves. Ray Harrison’s also decided to stick around, adding more firepower to GCU's squad. With these two ballers back in the mix, it's like Grand Canyon's basketball program is saying, "We ain't messing around!"
Last season was something else for Grant-Foster. Guy went from not playing college hoops for two years to dropping buckets like it was nothing. And get this, he led the WAC in scoring with an average of 20 points per game. Oh, and did I mention he did all that after dealing with two heart surgeries? Talk about resilience!
But, hold up, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. We lost Glenn Taylor Jr., a St. John’s transfer, but hey, we're still standing strong. GCU's got four out of its top five players from last season ready to rock the court again. Plus, Lok Wur's coming back, making it five out of six. That's a lineup you don't wanna mess with!
Oh, and let’s not forget the new blood joining the Lopes. We’re talking Styles Phipps, Austin Mauer, JaKobe Coles, Dennis Evans, and Makaih Williams. These guys are ready to bring the heat and take GCU to the next level.
But wait, there's more! Caleb Shaw, the 6-5 dynamo from Valley Christian, might just be the secret weapon GCU needs. And with assistant coach Casey Shaw's son in the mix, you know it's gonna be a family affair on the court.
So, yeah, last season was epic, but this one? This one's gonna be legendary. GCU's ready to roll, and with Grant-Foster leading the charge, there's no telling how far they'll go. Buckle up, folks, 'cause it's gonna be one heck of a ride! 🏀🔥
