Greg Grady was recruited by Hugh Durham to play basketball for the Seminoles from his hometown of New York City in 1973. He would play on some of the most successful teams in FSU men's basketball history as one of the school's best inside players.
In an era where blocked shots were not a part of the official statistics, Grady was a tremendous defender in the paint recording 13 blocks against Stetson as a freshman in 1973. He was a four-year letter winner for the Seminoles and a three-year starter at center.
Grady's top year statistically was in 1975 when as a junior he averaged 13.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and shot 58.1% from the field. He totaled 14 double-doubles in 1975 and nine the previous season.
Following his senior season, Grady's 100 games played was the third most in FSU history, he was the fourth all-time leading rebounder with 793, and his career field goal percentage of 56.4 percent ranked as the third best in the record book.
Grady's era was one of the most consistently successful in FSU history with the Seminoles finishing 18-8 in each of his first three seasons before a 21-6 campaign in 1976.
