5* Guard Hunter Sallis to Gonzaga

[bignish]

Man, the Zags are turning into a recruiting powerhouse. Any blue blood fans that were thinking this program is just a "flash in the pan" is in for a rude awakening.

They're going to have Duke under Coach K like success for however long Mark Few is there.

 

[jhmossy]

Probably going to land Chet Holmgren and Walker Kessler too.

Probably going to land Chet Holmgren and Walker Kessler too.

Gonna be interesting to see how he does with then. He's used to experienced talent. Not freshman with inflated self worth from the jump.

 

[dukedevilz]

They never had a top-10 recruit before Jalen Suggs. Now, they're likely to have two in the same class.

Zags probably lose all of the starters, minus Nembhard. So, next year's starting 5 could look something like this:

Andrew Nembhard, Sr
Hunter Sallis, Fr
Julian Strawther/Dominick Harris, So
Chet Holmgren, Fr
Walker Kessler, So

Anton Watson would come off the bench. And judging by their past, I'd say they're likely to add a talented transfer in there somewhere. Probably need more backcourt depth.

He handled Suggs pretty well

 

[duckboy33]

Expected but still a huge get

 

[RR30]

Absolutely. But he's gonna have like 3/4 of em next year. Suggs is arguably the third best player on the team now. It's a different beast.

The difference is these guys aren't coming to Gonzaga because Few sold his soul to recruit one and done players. These top recruits literally reached out to him and Gonzaga.

 

[dukedevilz]

Patrick Baldwin to Duke. Spread the rumor.

Gonzaga really should apply to join Pac-12, that conference was traditionally great but has been quite irrelevant until this year's March Madness, they can use an emerging powerhouse like Zag to get even better.

I don't think either side really wants to make this happen

Gonzaga doesn’t have a football team. I think that’s a requirement for the pac 12

Tell that to (insert name of PAC team with terrible football program). I don't follow football so I can't complete the joke myself.

 

[KUhawks34]

I’d like to see Zaga in the PAC for basketball. Probably won’t happen but would be cool.

Few is a good coach. About time he started getting some of the top kids.


I see Few, Wright and Self taking over CBB as K and Roy fade away.

You forgot Tony Bennett. He's dominated the ACC the last 6-7 years and I don't see that changing a ton with all of the HOF coaches beginning to retire.

Kentucky fans screwed the pooch with this one. Thanks guys for telling all of us how you feel about players kneeling @ UF. I hope it was worth it.

Ham says hi. Yeah UVA has been very good. UVA and FSU have had some wars. Not sure what W-L has been between the 2 the last 6-7 years.

Fake news - Tucker trying to stir up the hornet's nest. Look at some of his tweets, he makes Rex Chapman look conservative.

Multiple sources have refuted this. It was over way before our team acted like idiots. The reason - style of play.

Until Cal opens it up and quits playing 2 bigs, this will continue to happen.

And that's their loss....

The H2H has been close for sure. FSU is a terrible matchup for us. But the overall records, especially in the ACC, over the last 6-7 years isn’t as close.

Laughing What did they do?

Apparently nothing that impacted the recruit, but a lot of ppl were super pissed our team kneeled prior to one game (@UF).

 

[Random UK Fan]

I’ve learned to reserve some exuberance over these 5* freshman anymore. This class made missing on a recruit painless.

It's crazy we've had so many 5*'s disappoint. I know "there's no crying on the yacht", but we were 9-16. All bets are off at this point.

Yes, because gonzaga doesn't use bigs 😂

You obviously haven't watched UK in a while.

The Zags are rolling.
