Quick Facts: Matt Gregory is a sophomore walk-on from Avon, Indiana. He went to the same high school as me, where he graduated as co-valedictorian. Plus, his dad is a well-known meteorologist in Indianapolis, so you know he can really make it rain from the 3-point line. I would now like to immediately apologize for the incredibly obvious and terrible groaner-of-a-joke I just typed. Woof.

Matt Gregory doesn’t appear to have a personal Twitter account. If he does, my cursory 15-second search did not uncover it. However, just from surfing through the waves of tweets produced by the official Notre Dame Men’s Basketball account, I was able to collect all of the Greatest Hits of Matt Gregory:

This guy is hilarious, and the fact that these interviews are basically all we have on Twitter in terms of establishing Matt Gregory’s personal brand, I think it’s safe to say his stock is soaring. More of these, please, Mr. Gregory. You may just surpass your father’s immense popularity, someday.
