Chet Holmgren

[dukedevilz]

Holmgren will be announcing his college decision today during the 11 AM (ET) SportsCenter. I think everyone is expecting Gonzaga. Would be crazy if the Zags had a frontcourt of Chet Holmgren and Drew Timme next year. But who knows? Maybe Chet will throw everyone a curveball.

Never heard of her.

But, Heels on his list of 7. Any chance?

I think the G League has better odds than UNC.

Also, not sure if you were serious about not knowing who Holmgren is.

Serious. I don’t follow high school kids other than the ones I teach. I did when I was younger, but no time these days to follow that stuff.

He's the consensus #1 HS player in America.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

Love watching him play, he has a ton of skill and also backs that up with highly competitive attitude. It shows that he grew up playing with Jalen Suggs and for Suggs' dad.

He's rail thin, but unlike most rail thin bigs, he actually plays a lot bigger and stronger than his size.

I hope he goes to college, would suck to not get to see him play next year.

Chet. Right at the bottom of the all-time list of names I’d pick as the #1 basketball player.

Chet "The Jet" Walker thinks that having 6 numbers as a screen name is right at the bottom of the list of screen names he'd pick to post on a message board.

He’s legit. We recruited him pretty hard for a while but it’s been some time since we were considered “in it.” I’m guessing Zags or G League. Anything else would really surprise me.

He has a legit shot at being National Player of the Year. Would love to see him in college for a year. And yes, if he's anything like Suggs, he's bound to be tough and fiery. Suggs doesn't shy away from physical contact - and he is always scrambling, jumping, and diving for those loose balls heading towards the sideline. Only full game I saw of Holmgren was against Emoni Bates. He took control of the game and looked like the better prospect, at least for that game.

Yeah, I’m from Peoria. I know of Chester Walker.

oh that's right. I knew you were from Peoria and even thought of that when you said you were teaching high school. Also knew Walker played for Bradley, yet I didn't put those two together when I made that post. If I did i would've made even more fun of you for dissing the Chet name

 

[UKcats1988]

He’s an absolute stud

If Chet's decision is as expected, the game between Duke and the Zags could feature two of the best frontcourts in recent college basketball history.

Timme and Holmgren vs Banchero and Williams

 

[829305]

Yes! Hahahahah. I couldn’t get that dude out of my mind hearing Chet.

Ha. Speaking of people we know, I’m actually friends w Willie Coleman. He was pretty good for a minute.

 

[dukedevilz]

Okay, apparently it was the 12 pm ET SportsCenter. Good thing I only tuned into the last 10 minutes.

 

[Original_Irish]

UGH! why can't they just announce at 9???

 

[dukedevilz]

Gonzaga bound. It's official.

 

[Original_Irish]

He is going to fit in awesome at GU. Adding much needed rim protection to this team at the 4.

 

[MGC_07]

What position is Chet in college? If Timme’s back he’s the 5. Does Chet play the 4?

He will play the 4, but will probably play at the 5 sometimes when teams are exposing Timme on Defense.

best part of that clip was the last highlight where he scores, gets fouled and then hands his opponent the ball with some nice trash talking. He's got a bit of a mean streak in him and that is a huge plus for a guy with that frame.

The basketball world needs more Chet Holmgrens and less Mo Bambas.

Back to the hyperbole as usual, good to see.

Well, I've definitely heard of the two guys on Gonzaga.

An All American and the number 1 overall recruit versus a 7/4 guy and the number 3 overall recruit.

Seems like there is a clear winner here.

 

[WojoRising]

Makes me wish Suggs would be back so we could see Suggs vs. Baker in a battle of elite perimeter players to go with the front court matchup.

I know Baker’s bigger and can play more positions, but it’s not that crazy to think they’d matchup some during the game

Calling Baker an elite perimeter player is a bit of a stretch, especially compared to Suggs.

 

[dukedevilz]

Joey Baker has 20,000 more followers on Instagram than Corey Kispert. Kind of crazy, considering one is a possible lottery pick - and the other one didn't even average 3 ppg this past season. Girls be throwing themselves all over for Baker, though.

 

[dukedevilz]

But for reals, kind of embarrassing to compare our guys to Gonzaga. We didn't even make the freaking tournament. I think our frontcourt will be top 5 next year, but still a big gap between Banchero/Williams and Holmgren/Timme.

Come on KB, he's clearly being facetious and making fun of Ole nish's hyperbole

7 foot 190...yikes!

 

[RondoBaller21]

I think Banchero is better than this dude.

Yeah agreed. I’d take Mark Williams over Drew Timme as well.

Let me guess . . . White kid?
