Former Michigan Wolverines and Kansas Jayhawks star Hunter Dickinson recently shared an emotional tribute after the death of one of his former teammates, Gregg Glenn III. On Monday, July 28, it was reported by several outlets, such as Yahoo Sports, that incoming Tulane Green Wave senior Gregg had died in a tragic drowning accident this past weekend.
This prompted Dickinson to repost Tulane Men’s Basketball’s post on Instagram with a heartfelt message. Glenn III was just 22 years old.
Dickinson recently wrapped up his five-year collegiate basketball tenure and has since signed a two-way contract with the New Orleans Pelicans after going undrafted in this year’s NBA Draft. He was presumably going to reunite with Glenn III in the city.
“We were just talking about how we were gonna link up when I got back to NO, R.I.P,” Dickinson wrote on his Instagram story.
Dickinson and Glenn III shared the court during the 2022-23 college basketball season for coach Dusty May’s Wolverines, which ended up becoming their individually-last stints with the Wolverines. They finished that campaign with an overall record of 18-16 (11-9, Big Ten) and went all the way to the second round of the 2023 NIT.
Tulane Green Wave Coach Ron Hunter Speaks on the Death of Gregg Glenn III
Per NOLA.com, Tulane Green Wave coach Ron Hunter released a statement regarding the death of one of his players, Gregg Glenn III.
Hunter has been at the helm of the Green Wave coaching staff since 2019 and coached Glenn III in the last two seasons of college basketball. He was one of the driving forces in recruiting Glenn III from the Michigan Wolverines after the latter’s freshman year.
“Our program was devastated this morning as we learned of the passing of our Gregg Glenn III. He was not only an exceptional athlete but also a remarkable person who brought energy, dedication and kindness to our team and community. Gregg’s spirit and passion will be deeply missed, and our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time,” Hunter said.
“We will honor his memory by continuing to celebrate the impact he had on all of us. Rest in peace, Gregg,” he added.
In the 2024-25 season, Hunter, Glenn III, and the rest of the Green Wave finished with an overall record of 19-15 (12-6, American) and were eliminated in the first round of the College Basketball Crown by the USC Trojans, 89-60.
