Wait -- Kelvin and Kevin Grady both went to East Grand Rapids?

Submitted by Sommy on December 19th, 2008 at 5:57 PM

I mean, it was already confusing enough with the names alone, but this is going to confuse me even further here. Are they related? Are they brothers? What kinda sick joke is naming your kids in such a way that it would confuse some person that they'll never meet who watches M basketball and football? Oh, they're not? Should I have already known this? Please advise, MGoBoard.

Lol, I didn't think it was possible NOT to know that Kevin and Kelvin are big and little brothers.

I had no idea, honestly. I was also under the impression that Kelvin Grady was originally from a school in Detroit, though, for some reason. I think I had him and that kid that kept committing and decommitting and then ended up at Kentucky last year mixed up for some reason.

Okay, they're brothers I see now. I revert to the "what kinda sick joke" question.

I thought they were cousins too, but apparently they're brothers. I knew a pair of brothers named Arvin and Marvin, so I guess its not that bad.

I never met, but have heard of a pair of brothers (maybe twins) in Ann Arbor named Orangejello and Lemonjello. Pronounced like Oranjelo and Lemonjelo.

Those names would be from the book Freakanomics (a very entertaining read, btw).

No, they're definitely brothers. The Wolverine ran a lengthy story featuring the two of them in their latest issue.

What kinda sick joke is naming your kids in such a way that it would confuse some person that they'll never meet? George Foreman doesn't see what the big deal is.

They're brothers. They also have a cousin DeMarcus who played football with them at EGR, and basketball too I think.

I am somewhat disappointed that this thread even exists. They are brothers or my name isn't Horsecock Jefferson, III.

I though Kelvin was going to play both sports when they recruited him. He was a pretty speedy RB. Maybe a bit too small

There was some fleeting talk of him walking onto the football team, but nothing more than that. He is pretty frail. He's got the quicks to be decent in the slot if he has any hands, but if it hasn't happened by now, it's not going to.

Trying to remember whether I went to school with them (Michigan) or they played college basketball on the same team... but there are a pair of identical twins running around named Sean and Shawn seriously

I remember those two. They played college basketball (not at Michigan - I want to say something like Iowa State). Sean's name was pronounced "seen."

Both the Grady Brothers played at our rival school, East Grand Rapids. They also have a cousin (Demarcus) who plays at Northern Illinois. Kelvin and Demarcus were really good on the football field. Kevin, was unstoppable.

I would like to see Kelvin Grady returning kicks for the football team this year.... (That's KELVIN, the younger, faster one)
