Over this offseason, Baylor men’s basketball acquired junior guard Dantwan Grimes, adding even more depth to the Bears’ stacked backcourt. Grimes comes from Kilgore College where he led the team in scoring and assists, while also helping the team reach two consecutive NJCAA National Tournaments.
“Out of high school I had no offers,” Grimes said. “Nobody really wanted to take a chance on me. I was an undersized guard, I wasn’t really athletic, so I decided to go to a junior college.”
Grimes credits a lot of his success to Cody McCoy, assistant coach at Kilgore who previously was on the coaching staff for Baylor.
