I'll say this... if Amaefule turns into a star at UD, Anthony Grant comes away looking like an absolute genius in the same vein that taking a very lightly recruited kid and turning him into an NBA lottery pick makes you look like an absolute genius, and national coach of the year to boot.
If he isn't good enough to see the court, it'll be very easy to say as much should be expected given his inability to earn playing time (injury aside) at ETSU. Of course, if he isn't good enough, he'll likely transfer again as that is the way college basketball works these todays.
Clearly, Grant sees something in this kid, but he's definitely gambling to some degree here. Here's to hoping this lotto ticket hits.
