A national champion in 2007 with the Boys to Men Academy in Chicago and team mate of both Tyreke Evans (at the American Christian School in Ashton, Pennsylvania) and Kyle O'Quinn (at the 2012 Portsmouth Invitational Tournament), Glover has seen success and been playing alongside top talent from a young age.
Glover then went on to play two seasons for the Eastern Utah Golden Eagles, whom he led with 17.3 points per game and was the second-best rebounder. He won regional and district championships and was named to the NJCAA All-American team.
He then went on to start in every game for two seasons with the NCAA Division 1 team, the Iona Gaels. Named to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference first team both years, he finished his Gaels career averaging 18.4 points and 9.5 rebounds per game shooting 62% from the field.
In 2012, his first season as a professional, he averaged 11.4 points and 3.9 rebounds for Hacettepe in Turkey. After which, he went on to play for Concordia in Argentina and Xalapa in Mexico.
Glover began the 2015-16 season with Batang in Philippines, but moved on to the Halifax Hurricanes - a move which proved to be very lucrative. Averaging 15.3 points and 7.1 rebounds and shooting 61% from the field, he was named to the All-NBLC second team and Sixth Man of the Year while also helping Halifax capture their first league championship.
The following season he played for Chilean team Quilpue in the 2016 Americas League and for Obregon in Mexico, where he averaged 21.5 points and 10.1 rebounds per contest. The 2017-18 season proved to be a busy one, as he joined the training camp of Prishtina in Kosovo, returned to Mexico to play for both Obregon and Aguascalientes, before finishing off with a stint in the Philippines for Tropang.
2019 saw Glover make a welcome return to the NBL Canada. He was signed to the Cape Breton Highlanders, who look to make him part of their game plan of reaching the post-season for the first time in their history.
