Matt Glass - 2008-09
Sophomore year (2008-09) achievements:

Sophomore year (2008-09) pre-season report from Head Coach Derek Kellogg: "Matt Glass is the type of kid you want to build your program around. An unbelievable kid both on and off the court. He brings it every day and gives you great effort and great attitude. He's a very, very good three point shooter and we're going to look for him to be a little more aggressive on the offensive end, to be an unbelievable defender and to really hit the boards. He has the value into what were trying to do in that, he can make open shots."

Matt Glass - 2007/08
Freshman year (2007-08) achievements:


Freshman year (2007-08) pre-season report from Head Coach Travis Ford: "Matt is somebody with great size that can shoot it. I like what he has done preseason; he has really impressed me quite a bit. With his ability to shoot the ball there is always a place for him on the floor. He has got improve his ball handling and got to improve his defense in order to get more playing time.As a 6-7 guard, he can really create his own shot and has a great understanding of the game. He is able to score in a variety of ways whether it be from the three point line or putting it on the floor. He is deceptively athletic and his best days are ahead of him. He is also great on and off the court as he has a 4.0 GPA."
