Grewal's grown into a star with Cascades
As the University of the Fraser Valley men's basketball team ramps up its preseason preparations,[url=http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/][b]sell discount authentic roger vivier shoes for sale[/b][/url], Kyle Grewal boasts a what-I-did-with-my-summer-vacation story to trump all others.
The Cascades' 6'6" power forward spent a month with an Australian touring team in China, playing 12 games in 11 cities, including Beijing and Shanghai.
"It was really cool," said Grewal,[url=http://woolricharcticparkauomooutlet.olimx.com/][b]Woolrich Arctic Parka Uomo Outlet Woolrich Parka Italy Outlet[/b][/url], who landed a spot on the Aussie squad thanks to a recommendation from former UFV head coach Barnaby Craddock. "We saw a lot of the touristy things, like the Great Wall.
"And after the games, they treated us like we were NBA superstars. They were coming up with cameras, taking photos,[url=http://woolrichjacketstore.blogspot.com/][b]http://woolrichjacketstore.blogspot.com/[/b][/url], trying to get our jerseys from us. Our warm-up tops got stolen after one game - they just wanted something. It was like how I would have been at an NBA game as a young kid,[url=http://giuseppezanottioutletonline.webmium.com/][b]giuseppe zanotti outlet online Guseppe Zanotti Official Sale giuseppe zanotti outlet[/b][/url], just in awe. It was a humbling experience."
Grewal's Chinese excursion figures to stand him in good stead as he prepares for his fifth and final season of eligibility with the Cascades,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutlet.olimx.com/][b]Duvetica Jackets Duvetica Online Duvetica Outlet Duvetica Sale Duvetica Vest Duvetica Coat Duvetica Kappa[/b][/url].
He's truly become a pillar of the program,[url=http://woolrichparkaschweiz.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Parka Schweiz Online Shop cheap woolrich winter coats woolen mills[/b][/url], his tenure on campus having spanned three head coaches. Grewal was recruited by Pat Lee out of Surrey's Enver Creek Secondary in 2006,[url=http://duveticapiuminiitalia.webmium.com/][b]http://duveticapiuminiitalia.webmium.com/[/b][/url], and then stuck around through the Craddock era and now will play for Adam Friesen,[url=http://monclerwesteoutletbillig.albirank.net/][b]http://monclerwesteoutletbillig.albirank.net/[/b][/url], who replaced Craddock after he was hired away by the University of Alberta in June.
A pair of redshirt seasons extended Grewal's Cascades career -a broken wrist prior snuffed his rookie campaign (2006-07), and a torn ACL in his right knee sidelined him for the 2010-11 season.
"To me, it's kind of funny,[url=http://parajumperssalefreeshipping.webmium.com/][b]parajumpers sale free shipping Hampton Roads Technology Council for sale[/b][/url]," said the 24-year-old, who is set to graduate in the spring with a kinesiology major and a biology minor. "People make jokes about it -'You've been here forever,[url=http://merrellshoesusaonline.blogspot.com/][b]merrell shoes usa online[/b][/url], what is this, your 20th year?'
"I didn't want to have to redshirt those seasons, but honestly, it's worked out for the best."
Grewal emerged as a legit CIS star at the national championships in Halifax last season,[url=http://duveticacanadashop.halod.com/][b]duvetica jackets canada outlet[/b][/url], highlighted by a Hurculean performance (35 points, 14 rebounds) in UFV's 89-86 loss to St. Francis Xavier in the bronze medal game.
He's as versatile an offensive threat as you'll find at the power forward spot, with a polished post game and the ability to knock down the three-pointer.
Watching him play now, it's incredible to note how far he's come since he was a raw rookie.
"He's gotten there the old-fashioned way,[url=http://woolrichjacketstore.blogspot.com/][b]Woolrich Women[/b][/url]," said Friesen, who worked closely with Grewal as an assistant coach for five years under Craddock. "The guy, he's a worker. He really took the challenge of wanting to get better.
"My first year here, for the first month or two, we never really dribbled or shot (at a hoop). We just did form shooting against the wall. He literally started right at the bare fundamentals of the game of basketball. He was humble enough to start there,[url=http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/][b]http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/[/b][/url], and he built his game up. He didn't skip any steps."
It's been an interesting off-season for the Cascades. With all five starters set to return, it looked like they'd be the Canada West favourites this year. But then Craddock departed, and stars Joel Friesen and Jasper Moedt elected to follow him to the Golden Bears.
"It sucks,[url=http://authenticrogerviviershoes.halod.com/][b]roger vivier shoes for sale[/b][/url], right?" Grewal acknowledged. "But at the end of the day, it is what it is. We've got a bit of a chip on our shoulder now.
"I think people around the country are like,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutlet.olimx.com/][b]http://duveticajacketsoutlet.olimx.com/[/b][/url], 'Oh, UFV might be done.' But I honestly believe we're stronger than last year. I'm a big fan of Adam. He's going to put everything he has into it, and we've got some great recruits."
