Grinnon’s recruitment, however, started long before that first day. Grinnon grew up playing basketball in his hometown of Huntington on Long Island in New York. During his junior year of high school, he had the opportunity to play at the Charlie Weber Basketball Tournament alongside several other top recruits at Maryland. Grinnon’s game caught the eye of none other than Gary Williams, who offered the up-and-coming forward a scholarship to play for the Terps.
“When I decided to go to Maryland, it was one of the most exciting days of my life, but also one of the scariest days of my life,” Grinnon recalled. “At the time, Maryland was ranked number three in the country and was such a phenomenal school.”
Grinnon credits his experience as a student-athlete at Maryland as the opportunity that allowed him to grow into the person that he has become today. Not only did Grinnon become the answer to a trivia question: Who is the only Maryland basketball player to win both a National Championship and an ACC Championship? -- but he also earned his degree and learned valuable lessons that would help him become successful in the business world today.
“Maryland gave me a lot of the principles that I think have helped me be successful today, starting with hard work,” said Grinnon who, indeed, was on the 2002 National Championship and 2004 ACC Championship teams. “Being a scholarship athlete is very demanding with work, the sport, and then also with school. Having success playing opened up my eyes to how much one can achieve or how much a team can achieve.”
