Continue ReadingA strong post player, Salina Central big man Caleb Glen has given the Mustangs a key physical presence in the paint this season.
A 6’5 2019 forward, Glen takes pride in his defense in the post, can score around the basket and is a tough rebounder. He has counter moves that he uses to his advantage on the block and can take advantage of mismatches.
He spent the offseason competing with SSA Elite and says the experience helped him prepare for his senior season.
“It gave me a lot of experience against a lot of different competition that helped me a lot,” he say.
Coming off a 19-6 season in 2017-18 in which the Mustangs advanced to the Class 5A state championship game, Salina Central is 13-4 this year.

“We are a very good defensive team that plays together on both the offensive and defensive end,” Glen says.
Glen says his high school coach and basketball trainer have been the biggest influence on his basketball game to date.
“They gave me the opportunity to play this sport and taught me how to play at a very high level,” he says.
A fan of Kansas Jayhawks, Glen says he enjoys watching college basketball as well as several NBA big men.
“I enjoy watching how hard (college players) work and their defensive effort,” Glen said. “My favorite player to watch would have to be either Joel Embiid or Andre Drummond, because Joel has a lot of offensive skill and Andre is the classic big man.”
