AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State has signed prep star Caleb Grill to a letter of intent. The Cyclones announced on Tuesday that Grill, a 6-foot-3 guard out of Maize, Kansas, will be the fourth high school player in this year’s recruiting class.

Maize originally signed with South Dakota State. But he re-opened his recruitment after coach T.J. Otzelberger — a former assistant at Iowa State under coach Steve Prohm — left for UNLV.
Grill, who averaged 18.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists and earned all-state honors from the Kansas City Star as a senior at Maize High, also considered Kansas State and UNLV.
