Kansas State’s Tough-Nosed, All-Around Guard
Rodney McGruder was a culture-setter for Kansas State, finishing with 1,576 career points, 654 rebounds, and three All-Big 12 selections; in the 2012-13 season he averaged 15.8 points and 5.4 rebounds while serving as the Wildcats’ steady two-way engine. He stood out for physicality, winning plays, and a fearless, high-motor style that coaches love because it translates beyond the box score. If you want a guard who competes every possession, rebounds his position, and brings veteran edge, McGruder is the kind of player teams can trust in big moments.
