The article in todays paper said Leon Rice was running practice earlier this week because coach Few was out on a recruiting trip. I wonder who he was visiting?

Few vs Romar; GU vs UW
UW Hoops: Part of heralded 2006 class, Huskies star reflects on what might've been
Nuff said....
All four recruits were ranked in the top 25 nationally at their positions. That kind of quality arriving on the heels of back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances led to dreams of a dynasty.
But instead of Final Fours, Pondexter sat home in the 2007 postseason, suffered a one-and-done disappointment in the 2008 CBI, and was eliminated by Purdue in the second round of the 2009 NCAA tournament.
That’s enough underachievement that when asked about the highlight of his rapidly ending UW career, Pondexter still looks ahead.
“I haven’t had mine yet,” he said. “I measure everything by winning, so there hasn’t really been a moment that sticks out so far. Hopefully, I’ll get one in the next few weeks.”
PeaceNo sense in playing an in-state rival if you have to eat lopsided defeats. It's just like the great Athenian orator and statesman Demosthenes once said -- and I'm paraphrasing -- it's better to be called a chicken and not lose to Gonzaga than to be called brave and get blasted.

Why not have Bell ask Bouldin if any moments stick out for him over the last four years......

It sure seems that every game is televised (many of them on ESPN), consistently making the field of 65, quality of education, and integrity of coaches should make the Zags a slam dunk with any in state or NW prospect.
The drawbacks are that, as nice as Spokane is, it isn't the warmest, liveliest place to live. Probably you'll have to actually earn a starting spot, and more likely will be a back-up or redshirt at least one, or both, of your first two years here...then you have to earn the start.
I wonder what misconceptions are perpetrated by the other recruiting coaches?Not even a smile? What's your problem!

Spokane has its share of quality entertainment, with movies, theater and concerts. We have some of the best Golf, at afforable rates, in the country, and access to fishing, skiing, boating, running and almost any other outdoor activity, in more abundance and quality, and at a better price than almost anywhere else. It's why I live here. But in the minds of a high school recruit, especially one from a major metropolis, our life COULD seem tame. That was all I was implying, just didn't want to have to use all these words.Not even a smile? What's your problem!

Originally posted by willandi View PostI agree. I was trying to play devil's Advocate. Why would any intelligent High School Basketball player, in the great Northwest, attend any other school, if they were offered by the Zags? It can't be exposure, because of all the TV the Zags get. It can't be quality of education, Gonzaga is hands down better than the State schools, at almost any level. So if immediate playing time is the primary concern, and an athlete is willing to sacrifice winning and post-season play, then the choices become murkier. If a night life etc. is more important, then why are they a student athlete?
