I’ve gotten to evaluate Grinstead’s game multiple times over the past 24 months. This one was different in large part because she’s grown so much physically the last 12 months. As she prepares for high school, Grinstead is a legitimate 5-foot-10 and tracking towards the six-foot mark. She is a sponge when it comes to learning and wanting to be coached, taught. Grinstead saw and adjusted to all types of gimmick defenses at the middle school level this season that she won’t see as a freshman playing alongside Kenzie Koch (Ball State commit) and Becca Cooley. As a result, look for Grinstead to be an instant impact type of player for Eastern Hancock during the 2026-27 campaign. She’ll have to continue working on her offensive assertiveness from the opening tip, but everything is setup for Grinstead to be one of the Hoosier State’s most impactful freshman prospects this coming season. – Brandon Clay / @BrandonClayPSB
Grinstead’s year over year growth speaks to the consistency of the work she’s putting in on her game on a weekly basis. Grinstead is a prospect who has a ton of skill set tools coupled with a work ethic that matches her talent level. In our training sessions, she’s regularly on a floor with older prospects who have proven that they can play the game at a high level. With each session, Grinstead gets more and more comfortable making shots and plays regardless of who is on the floor around her. She is shooting the 3-pointer with confidence. That’s a place that she can hang her hat on offensively long-term. That said, Grinstead has been willing to attack off the dribble as well the last 90 days. In our last session, Grinstead was going through the same basketball handling drills as some of the region’s top 2027 prospects with no issues. She’ll rebound the basketball and is more than willing to compete on the defensive end of the hardwood too. The next 12 months of development for Grinstead before she plays her freshman season of high school basketball should look a lot like the last 12 months. She’ll keep maturing physically as time goes on, but the foundation is there for another big jump during her eighth-grade school year. – Brandon Clay / @BrandonClayPSB
In just our second Film Room evaluation, it’s evident that Grinstead loves to be in the gym. She came in early for extra shooting session displaying that she is a shot maker with the versatility to play either forward position. After the training session with Xavier Johnson, Grinstead sprinted out of the gym to go watch a high school playoff game. Her skill set is a place where I’m already seeing growth from the latter fall evaluation. She could play a big guard at the high school and even college level as her basketball handling skill grows. Over the winter, Grinstead helped lead her 7th Grade roster to the league championship. This spring / summer, she’ll team up for IBC with two Film Room alums in Tatum Eberly and Elle Miller. – Brandon Clay / @BrandonClayPSB
Grinstead has really good size at the wing / forward position as a seventh grader. She has a smooth skill set that will continue to improve as she gets more and more comfortable with age. Grinstead can continue to show growth with her confidence shooting the basketball. She is in a good area school basketball wise as Kenzie Koch serves as a prospect to follow closely for Grinstead. It's usually a longer process for off the basketball prospects like Grinstead than it is for on the ball kids like Koch. As a result, Grinstead can take notes on Koch's progression the next two years before she enters high school and get a headstart on how to keep leveling up her game on both ends of the hardwood. Grinstead's foundation is in a good place. -- Brandon Clay / @BrandonClayPSB
