Seward County Community College – Head Coach Toby Wynn
Joanna Grymek is heading into her redshirt-sophomore season at Seward County Community College in Liberal, Kansas. The 6-foot-8 center was among the top-10 in the nation last year in field goal percentage last season, shooting an astounding 60 percent from the floor. She scored 13.2 points per game, along with 6.6 rebounds and 2.2 blocks. She comes to Oregon State as the No. 2 rated junior college player in the nation (No. 1 center) by Collegiate Girls Basketball Report.
"Jo is the seamless completion to this puzzle," Rueck said "She makes sense in every category - she brings size and presence in the paint, along with maturity, rebounding and skill. It's rare to find a 6-foot-8 kid who can truly play the game, run the court, execute on offense, and do all the little things well. These qualities make Jo a unique player with outstanding potential. Moreover, Jo has an amazing heart and respect for others. I have no doubt the environment we offer at Oregon State is exactly what she needs to continue her growth as a player and a person."
Grymek made the All-Jayhawk Conference First Team in 2015-16, and was named Second Team All-Region VI. She has represented her home nation of Poland the last five years on various national teams, playing most recently at the Under-20 FIBA World Championships in Portugal. Off the floor, Grymek has earned Kansas Jayhawk Community College All-Academic honors twice.
"I chose Oregon State because I believe that this is the best opportunity to improve and develop myself as a basketball player and a student," Grymek said. "I met awesome people at OSU who care about me, and I believe they will help me to achieve my goals."
